[Mediawiki-l] more spam issues

[Jake Ford]

I recently started getting the same spam. I am going to install the
SpamBlacklist extension tonight or tomorrow and will let you know how it
works.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] more spam issues


Is anybody else getting tons of user registrations that have spam in the
user pages and the usernames are soemthing like "180 buy Viagra"?

I haven't had a chance to test it but doesn't the keyword blacklist block
the usage of those words in usernames and userpages?

Also is there a better captcha available.. this bot is getting around the
math question
