I think the cleanup's done, via IRC: <logger> See http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/discovery/chatlogs/swig/2004-12-14#T13-45-07 <bjoern_> the script just figures out how to revert to the previous version from the page info, the rest is a manual task. spamming is simpler... <libby> ah, wondered about that. nice one bjoern_ <bjoern_> it seems it's done. <libby> yep :) <libby> hooray! <danbri> thanks! ...and the spammer is blocked by IP currently. But only a matter of time until the next attack. > The wiki-spam problem seems to be about as unsolvable as the e-mail > spam problem.

I'm getting 1 or 2 phone spams daily too, recorded messages or 3rd world callcentres :( FWIW I'd support having a W3C WG in this area, even if it was just surveying and integrating existing ideas rather than REC track. This stuff is really damaging for the entire Web project. Another avenue I'm wondering about is devoting a good chunk of an EU project to this area.... Dan
