Hi folks,
The observium wiki seems to have become a spam hotbed recently. See here for an example: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=performance&go=Go
What can we do about it? I was going to start cleaning, but i'm not sure where to begin, and i have a feeling they can spam faster than i can clean it up.
Thanks, Paul

Gees, when did that start? It's pretty annoying.
I'll disable new users for the time being...

Ok, I've stopped non-confirmed users from being able to edit or create pages. I thought that was already done!
I don't know how many pages they created, were 430 fake users. Is there a way to delete all pages without a user, or something similar?

Hi,
I'd like to help taking out the garbage :)
I've created an account, got the confirmation mail, but I'm guessing someone has to manually approve my account before I can delete/edit pages.

At first I though I just can't find the delete button, then the wiki informed me, that it's not gonna happen, as it's only for Aministrators. And I don't really know wheter to fancy the idea to ask for admin priviliges or not :)
