On 'my' wiki a user is required to login. This caused spam to go from 50 pages/spam edits to 0 a year ago. Now the logged in spam user is spamming about 5 new pages per week. I modified the pagecomment macro so that a user is required to login and was wondering if it would work for turbogears wiki? That is why I was wondering if you pagecomment spam was coming from registered spammers or anonymous spammers.
