Symbianwiki and Spam

[QUOTE="eijk"]Hi!

I am the user "TilmanVogel" on symbianwiki and have been fighting against the regular spam attacks there the last few days. It's really tiring, isn't it? Still, I think, a wiki like this is really useful.

Do you have any plans to solve the issue? Such as update the wiki backend to something which offers more protection? Or move to some wiki farm which has some centralized way of proventing spam. I think there are even free farms like this out there. (Have to look up the link again...)

I'd be glad to here from you,

Hi all, Got this from above user, and am posting in the hope the Wiki can be sorted as the Spam is getting out of hand. Almost daily myself (and now Eijk) are clearing out these unwanted messages and ads on the Wiki.

Can the Wiki be locked for now?
Can Regular posters still post?
Could I have access to remove the Spam comments?
Can some of the obvious Spamming users be removed?
If I note down ip addresses could we block them?

Anything else I haven't thought of/mentioned???
