You guys seem to have good ideas and solutions to getting rid of the spammers, but until something is implemented I (and hopefully a few others) will just continue to despam the Wiki manually.

Appreciate your help here - we're working on a solution to this problem, I really like the Wikki a lot, just like these forums, it has helped me very much.
I won't forget the Wikki, and we will get it fixed.

Angel seriously put up a Captcha... Its better to have some defense than none at all, like now.

I'd suggest the captcha, get it up, ready, and when you have time, make an email verification addy as well. I'm not sure of too many bots out there that can both read images and respond to email.

I still say the easiest way is to tag it to the forum info, people dont get access to post unless they PM and get given access, this would by far be the safest way.

Until they start spamming the forums with signups... I'd say stop them on the wiki unless they start targeting the forums... Then I would suggest moving to phpBB 3 =P

The forums were targeted years ago, hence the admin must activate accounts.

That is sad, but I still feel by making accounts admin activated is placing an uneeded burden you you admins a burden that can be liften with some crafty coding.
