AntiSpam ======== The basic protection ZWiki offers is the have users set a username (via a cookie).
Properties on the wiki folder: * edits_need_username=true - cf. http://zwiki.org/LinkSpam * [EMAIL PROTECTED] - cf. http://zwiki.org/HowToSetUpMailOut * mailout_policy=edits sm from #zwiki suggest the following workflow: ----- My usual policy is: anonymous can edit, though I lock down key pages occasionally; edits need username; I and others subscribe to the wiki "all edits" so we'll notice spam; if I get a spammer using a username, I'll revert it manually with revertEditsEverywhereBy; if they persist I'll block their ip address with apache (and unblock some time later). That's been working pretty well for a while.. I haven't had a really persistent hostile attack for some time, if I did I would make the whole thing read only for a while and consider next steps. Also, I try hard not to let spam links get a foothold in the wiki, or they will attract more. Reviewing the all-edits mails once in a while is important. ----- A "revert" URL looks like: https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/FrontPage/revertEditsEverywhereBy?username=Xyz -- forwarded from https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/[EMAIL PROTECTED]://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance _______________________________________________ Savannah-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-cvs
