There is spam in the Wiki!!
June 27, 2010, 09:27:16 PM
So yeah, I noticed that there were a few pages of spam in the wiki. I was just browsing it and clicked the Random page link only to be sent to a page called "Tablet - blank music tablet download - tablet recovery cd buy" which I found to be very... odd. After searching a couple terms often associated with spam, like 'buy' and 'pills,' I found two more pages of spam
Here are the links to all three pages.

http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/wiki/i ... e_pharmacy
Edit: I just noticed that the magic page has also been edited to contain spam.

More spam.

Is there an option so that only people who register with the wiki are able to add or edit pages or something? Because that might help keep the amount of spam in the wiki down some.

And yes, there is a way to prevent nonregistered users from creating pages on the wiki...we just, uh, can't seem to figure out how to make it work. ^^;;

Hm... I noticed that all of the pages were made from the same IP Address. Maybe banning it might help.
