Hi Justin ~
The cleaning of the Wiki is appreciated by the entire community.
Script.aculo.us <http://Script.aculo.us> recently had some much more
obtrusive editing with entire articles being removed and replaced with
gambling ads. They have implemented a verification field to slow down
the input of the spam using their stikipad system. I know the Rails
wiki is based on instiki, but after a quick glance it did not look like
this is a current feature. I don't think it would be too hard to
implement. A strategy of stopping this at the source would obviously be
preferred to manual clean up.
As a lurker, and sometimes commentor on this list, I 100% agree with Ben. I think the image based
verification requires users to type in the generated text is a good solution for this.
