Hi Lon, I'm forwarding this to you since I see your name on the cluster
wiki.  There does seem to be quite a bit of spam there.  Can we get it
under control somehow?

Hi guys,

> https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cluster/2010-February/msg00094.html

we have been made aware of some spam on the cluster wiki project.

I don´t have any problems (except maybe an excessive usage of the mouse
to click around) to get rid of it, but maybe you want to lock accounts
related to those spammers.

Please CC me on reply.

Thanks
Fabio

By the way, we had a spam problem over at the systemtap moinmoin wiki
a few months ago.  Adding a few non-default antispam measures (a basic
kapthca and something else) cut it way down.

There's a couple of things we can do, but IIRC we just had someone "drop
in" the MoinMoin wiki.  I'd have to figure out who.

I have admin access to the wiki side of things and will see if there's
any option I can turn on on that side.

I've cleaned up the pages, but haven't deleted accounts yet.

I wonder if we simply need to upgrade to a newer version of MoinMoin so
that we can enable Capcha.
