There's no simple solution to spam. Even captcha's are limited as many spammers are just using mechanical turks plus OCR to defeat captchas. recaptcha had some problems recently so I had to disable it on the wiki which led to an influx of spam. It seems to be working fine again so I've reenabled it. Hopefully the spam activity will dramatically drop again. Regards, Anthony Liguori > Cheers, > Stefan Weil > >
