Hi,
2011/2/6 Manuel Schneider<[email protected]>:
Ok, I have restored my SSH key and got the login details from Flo, so I did
some checks.
User:Peacfata was NOT emailconfirmed!
I have removed all the ConfirmEdit stuff from the configuration (an
extension I have actually never seen in action before) and have instead put
quite simple user privilege settings in place of which I know that they are
working.
Let's test these first before installing a captcha.
As said we have been using reCaptcha before, but as far as I am concerned we
have removed it from all our wikis a few years ago and we felt no need for
it to come back yet.
We should reconsider this, as Sophie just had to delete spam pages
from fresh registered users again.
Sophie told me by IRC: "for one of the page you mentionned the user
was (User creation log); 11:17:10 . . Xeniste (Talk | contribs |
block) New user account and the page was created at 14:54:12"
If there are other possibilities in tuning the site, please try. But
we can't go on deleting that number of pages per day, that time could
be used better.
Bye
Volker
I don't believe there is any way to prevent spam entirely, but using
Re/Captcha is a good step to weeding out a lot of the simple spammers.
