I've tried every flavor of confirmedit and none of them seem block the worse offenders. I tried ReCaptcha but now the bots or the person determined to get around that get through and post their spam anyway. If I could I'd have several of these at once just for account creation.
I'm trying the question based one now and hopefully that won't be too hard for the people I want to actually edit the wiki. Speaking of questy captcha.. is it possible to have one question and several answers? $wgCaptchaQuestions[1] = array( 'question' => "Question?", 'answer' => "answer1", 'answer' => "answer2", 'answer' => "answer3" ); --- On Tue, 2/8/11, Łukasz Garczewski <t...@wikia-inc.com> wrote: > From: Łukasz Garczewski <t...@wikia-inc.com> > Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] how do I restrict the length of usernames? > To: "MediaWiki announcements and site admin list" > <mediawiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org> > Date: Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 12:43 PM > On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 7:36 PM, 2...@gmaskfx.com > <2...@gmaskfx.com> > wrote: > > Uh thanks for the help.. just getting frustrated > because I'm getting hammered with spam and I have tried > everything in the manual and little of it is helping. > > Try installing the ConfirmEdit extension.
