I think we need to push upstream with usemodwiki devs to combat this. Adding a username/password would really suck.
The other option is to have one of those special graphics generated on teh fly and have ppl type it in in order to write pages. That way, these bots could be thwarted and not require ppl to get username/password.
Any other thoughts...I'm strongly against giving into spammers and having to username/password protect everything.

n fact, until a last month, spammers used to disturb only a few pages each time, but now they are becomming more annoying. Each time, the wiki is spammed, it affects up to 20 pages. Really a nuisance to remove this.

Okay, I've banned those two ips and removed all those added pages. Boy that was a pain. If we get another of these form of spammers, I'll be all in favor of turning on passwords.
Thanks, Bryce
