I've just deleted a few tons of spam from the wiki - for the n-th time

and add spam minutes after one removes it. Can somebody who can, ban
them?
A relatively simple deterrent is a captcha.

Yet another but more interactive way would be to use Akismet

I have used both of these types and are very simple to stop the vast
majority of spam.
Once your system is a target, they will not be aware of any changes for
a while if you implement simple measures.
They would have to revisit your site and reconfigure their spam bot.
