YES to all of the above. Email verification, and block known spammer IP ranges. Also, how'bout a delay before a new user can create a new page or even post to an existing page? Real members won't have a problem with having to wait a couple of days before they can post, if it means less spam.

Too much "open" = like having no immune system. Selectivity builds strong communities, and makes membership mean something.

All:

There's a lot of wiki spam that is being created as of the 24th- I would like to propose that we have either a temporary block or email verification on users who create accounts and immediately create new pages, and possibly a block on certain ip ranges.

thoughts?

(who wants to go in and revert the recent spam? Who wants to make it their full time job?)
