I zapped the files by low level fs ops. Your wiki userid is now an
'admin' and should have despam privileges, if that's quite enough.

The easiest option is to disable wiki attachments by default, by
adding
actions_excluded = [u'AttachFile']
into the /wiki/PROJECT.py file. Whether that can be enabled again on
a per-user basis, or whether an admin would have to hand-edit the file
again to turn on attachments briefly, I dunno. Unfortunately, I have
so far found no better option with moinmoin. Switching to another
wiki software (mediawiki?) is an option.
