Over the last few weeks, there was a constant stream of spam on the development wiki: http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/
All vandalism was following the same style: a new user was created and that created a new page with some external links. There'd be days where this happend half a dozen times and then other days where nothing happened. I blocked the spammers' accounts and deleted the pages, but by now thats becoming a tedious task. I installed some extensions last week that I hoped would help here, but without success. So for now I revoked the right to create new pages from ordinary users. You'll now have to be 'autoconfirmed' to create new pages. To get autoconfirmed, your account must be older than a week and you have to have made at least on edit of an existing page. Please let me know if that's causing you any trouble. I hope this measure will not interfere too much with normal user behaviour, but it will give me some time to check and delete spam accounts before much vandalism occurs.
