WikiSpam

I like Kwiki but this is getting ridiculous.

Suggestions…

  • Write a snippet that grabs and null routes the list of IP’s from here:
    http://www.openwiki.com/ow.asp?WikiSpammers

  • Start using authentication. I use Kwiki::Users::Remote on our local
    kwiki install. It works fine against apache’s authentication. We
    have apache getting auth from a radius server, so I’m sure any method
    would be fine. The necessity of creating the user accts obviously
    makes this less attractive.

  • Related to previous, perhaps require an acct at rt3.fsck.com to have
    edit priviledges.

Indeed. I’ve been talking to Ingy, Kwiki’s author about possible
solutions. My first cut to cut down on links to known spam sites helped
for a bit but it just isn’t cutting it.

Suggestions…

If it were actually an RBL, I’d consider it, but I’m uncomfortable
scraping a wiki page to determine who to blacklist…
