Re: [Inkscape-devel] Wiki again
A quick update on the wiki situation:
In the past 4 days since the change, spamming has nearly disappeared.
The NOSPAM change has delt a solid blow to the spammers. :-)
However, there has been two cases of spam, to the PastMilestones page,
on Nov 26 and again on the 27th. These were by spammers in the .bn.by
and .bas-net.by domains, both of which are now blocked. Thus, we're not
completely immune. I surmise they may be manually spamming us; this is
good because it is something we can deal with effectively through
administrative actions (banning, etc.)
A number of pages were added on Nov 23 that need to be deleted. Scislac
could you tackle these?
