 I was going to suggest the IP ban, but there is a cons about it. In Portug=

a lot of ISP use transparent proxies and so a lot of different people have=
=20
the same IP. This would punish a lot of innocent folks.
 Also, IPs are usually dynamic, so you would ban one, but, next connection,=
 he=20
would have another.

 I guess that if this starts happening a lot "privatizing" the wiki would b=
e=20
the best thing. Unless someone doesn't mind to do the dirty job of doing=20
regularly checks for spam.

Cheers,
