Given the recent increase in Wiki Spam (it has increased generally
across the ASF as well) I think it is time to apply the changes
described in [1].

On the plus side, it should eliminate spam.

On the down side, legitimate users that want to make changes need to ask
for access first.

I have said it before but I think it is worth repeating. Adding entries
to LocalBadContent and deleting the spam is ineffective. The spam has
already entered our mail archive at that point and has been mirrored
around the world which is exactly what the spammers want.


Infra requires that the community agree to these changes before infra
will apply them - hence this vote.

Should the changes described in [1] be applied to the Tomcat wiki?
[ ] +1 Make it so
[ ]  0 No opinion
[ ] -1 I object to this proposed change because...
