On my wiki that didn't help a lot. It stopped spam for a while but then the bots were creating usernames and adding pages. For some reason wiki.debian.org has 0 spam, but nobody there can tell me what settings they use to block all this spam. New version of moinmoin 1.7 with "question/answer" might help if that is an option in a future.
