[Phpwiki-talk] More spam filtering

[Dan F. <dfr...@cs...>]

Folks,

This is just to let you know ..

The "no more than 20 links" strategy worked fine for a long time. Just 
in past couple of days, spammers have rediscovered WikiLens with a 
vengeance, and they are submitting <<20 links (like 5). See, for example,

http://www.wikilens.org/wiki.php/RequestedFeatures?action=PageHistory&version=19

I tried adding a verifying param to the URL ("site_token=wikilens1234") 
in case they were using a script to submit the edits directly, but it 
was circumvented immediately. It looks like they are finding the "Save" 
button somehow.

I reverted for awhile, but finally got desparate and closed my wiki to 
anonymous edits! (ALLOW_ANON_EDIT=false. Note it was broken in 1.3.9, 
which is where we .. well, forked I guess, and it was broken there, so I 
had to make a quick fix).

Any other spam filtering advice is welcome. I'd like to open up the wiki 
to anonymous edits again. :(
