I take care of a few wiki sites and this problem was relatively solved by requiring login to edit. In the register process the user writes a comment about why she/he wants to register and a confirm mail is sent to the supplied address. The registration is complete when this mail is replyed or the code sent is inputed in a particular web form. A notice is generated and sent to the administrator, that can remove the account if it's the case. This way we are fairly safe from robots, and incidents with bad users are very rare... Btw, I use TWiki (http://twiki.org/), a very robust, flexible and extensible wiki. -- Gilmar Santos Jr _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
