Upon joining this excellent community earlier this week, I promptly cleaned all the spam out of the wiki. I hope these assholes will not be bringing their drug peddling to the forums also. Pharmy spammers: If I catch you vandalizing this forum you will be WEBBED and left to rot. Take that junk over to myspace or some other lame site. Kthx. --Spidey

They did spam forums, but I managed to stop them.

This spam seems to be getting worse. Maybe you should get a forum mod that changes the sign up authorization with a timer (in which bots will get locked out if the sign up to quickly) or something like that. Other then that, you should watch the spam more. Just saw a bot in the beta forums posting about 'legal cd keys' <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Is there a way to make WIKI registration premoderated? I am afraid Vavoom Wiki will be completely lost soon, it is spammed almost every day. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

Depends... there should be wiki mods that block bots. Else, upgrades to the wiki should do it.

The problem with WIKI is that those bloody developers decided to drop support for older versions of PHP. Since I'm hosted on a server that runs PHP 4 I'm stuck with old version of MediWiki. but anyways it should have some protection against spam, I'll check it out.

Forum spamming is mostly stopped. This one is a very rare occasion and can be simply deleted.
