[Inkscape-user] Preventing spam on the Wiki

Hi,

I noticed that the Inkscape Wiki has been flooded with spam recently. We had the same issue on the Scribus Wiki and found a simple, but effective way to handle it.

We disabled the automatic creation of accounts and put a request mechanism in place. Everyone who wants an account has to ask for it via email to one of the SysOps or to the mailing list. We haven't had a single issue with spam since then.

Maybe you could consider something similar for your interesting Wiki.

Cheers

Christoph
