I've tried every flavor of confirmedit and none of them seem block the worse offenders. I tried ReCaptcha but now the bots or the person determined to get around that get through and post their spam anyway. If I could I'd have several of these at once just for account creation.
I'm trying the question based one now and hopefully that won't be too hard for the people I want to actually edit the wiki.
Speaking of questy captcha.. is it possible to have one question and several answers?
$wgCaptchaQuestions[1] = array( 'question' => "Question?", 'answer' => "answer1", 'answer' => "answer2", 'answer' => "answer3" );

Uh thanks for the help.. just getting frustrated
because I'm getting hammered with spam and I have tried everything in the manual and little of it is helping.
Try installing the ConfirmEdit extension. That should help. :)
