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. -G. ===== On 13-03-25-Mon 4:37 PM, Matthew Harbowy wrote: 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?
