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?

Based on the user creation log, it looks like it started March 2nd.

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?
