I guess I am now the Pumpkin Holder for the Wiki. I spoke up and said
I'd work on the spam problem and I get it all! Ahhh, the power :)
Anyway, I added the blacklist that wikipedia uses to manage spam. In
comparing it to the spam that we have gotten frequently, I think it will
be blocked. Before that Chris and I "blocked" various vandals by their
ip addresses.
Hopefully this non-obtrusive technique will do the trick.
Let me know if you experience any problems.
