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.
Thx again,
Ben, I can't claim to have given any service to the community, because I
only cleaned about 120 pages, and then found there were around 800 more
(at least) that needed sorting out. It's also the case that previous
versions of the spammed pages contain spam. It would be good to have
clean history, as well as clean pages.
I'm coming round to the view that removing the spam through the normal
Wiki interface is not the right approach - it just generates more
versions on top of a corrupt history.
regards
Justin
