Wiki is being spammed

Post by nightshark »

Dunno how long this has been going on, but porn bots and the like have been adding pages to the Wiki. Perhaps a captcha or tighter restrictions on signing up?

Thanks for spotting this nightshark.

I'm confused, as a recaptcha has been added to our Wiki... so how is this happening?

Thank you for reporting this nightshark. I will be working on fixing this asap.

Looks like this problem has been existing for a very long time. I would say as early as September 12 2010.

Yeah, as far as I know, you have to do a captcha if your edit included a link of any kind. Never underestimate spam bots though.

You know, someone created a firefox addon that lets you skip the captcha on Megaupload.com. Couldn't someone have done that for anything?
