I'm all for requiring approval before an account is created on the wiki. Some of the spambots I think go in and actively delete bits of text and replace it with text from an older revision. For instance, RolacEllic added some spam links and removed the directions for how to download manta from svn!

Hi,

I'm forwarding this issue to Erik and Support because if a SCI computer is used for spam, it can be blocked, and I don't want code being blocked. I note that C-SAFE solved this problem by not allowing anonymous users to create wiki accounts... I'm not sure who manages the manta wiki...

I've noticed there's been some spam bots deleting and adding things to the
wiki. Is there a way to block these "users"?
