- Block edits from the source IP addrs that these came from
* Will adding SpamFilter patterns for the IPs do this?
(I'm guessing not, but thought I'd check to be sure)
In 2.6, it does, kinda. 2.4 does not. However, I'm *so* going to
update the 2.6 spamfilter to prevent this kind of stuff asap.
- Do a CAPTCHA challenge during registration and/or page updating
2.6 does captcha *if* it suspects the page is spam. It would not
help in this case.
- Validate a user's email address during registration (by sending
it a code that they must subsequently provide back)
I don't know how this would help, since the bot can register as well.
(My guess is that this is either an attempt to poison a bayesian
filter, or to annoy us until we stop checking all links and then they
can start spamming. For low-traffic sites an attack like this could
be devastating, since no admin wants to keep rolling stuff back every
morning.)
