I run a Wiki for students of Japanese Religion and had spam problems too, for some time. In the moment, I am doing quite well with Confirm Edit + CaptchaQuestions. When people want to register they have to do a simple Japanese test. Thus I can be fairly sure that only human users who know some basic Japanese become registered users. Only registered users have edit rights.
Perhaps it is a good idea to control user registration by easy topic related test questions. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von juan santos Gesendet: Freitag, 8.

I've installed the Confirm Edit and set up the User Registration to "false"...but the wiki don't have much sense with these parameters. Also I'm using the "Merge and Delete" extension, wich is a tedious an very slow way to delete all of the 7000 spam accounts registered in my wiki. Is there any faster way to do that? (I mean, preserving the database integrity ). Thanks for your help and sorry for my english.
