Wiki Spam

[Felix Rosencrantz]

Anyone notice that the zshwiki (http://www.zshwiki.org/ )  has been
hit with a lot of link spam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_spam). 
  It would be nice if the owner took some anti-spam measures.

OT: Are there any good anti-spam measures that can be taken?

Also, are there any wiki platforms that are better at spam prevention
or clean up?
I like the idea of having the zshwiki, but would like to see it sit on
another wiki platform.  There are a quite a few out there, some with
more formatting control.  In particular I would like to see one that
had table support.

-FR.

ps the wiki is mentiioned in Oliver&Peter's new zsh book.  the book
looks interesting so far, writing style is nice.  is intended for the
beginning to intermediate users and covers both bash and zsh.

At least EmacsWiki has some anti-spam systems. Maybe you should consult
them:

Spammers can be blocked also with firewall.
