Note also that 2.5/2.6 also has workflow capabilities that allows a
named group of users to serve as approvers for page edits. This is
essentially a moderation feature.

Glad to hear that 2.6 has some capabilities in these areas. It
does leave some sites in a bit of a bind, though. (Do I want to
run on a version blessed as being production-ready, or one that
provides the spam controls that most production sites will need?)
The 2.6 SpamFilter *should* be trivially backportable to 2.4.
Anybody want to send me a patch; I'll gladly release a 2.4.105 with
it...
(If anyone wants to take over maintenance of 2.4, this would be a
good time to step up, by the way.)
I think it could help if combined with a way to blacklist
registrations from certain email address patterns. So for example,
if we see that all of the spam users are registering with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses, we could blacklist spammer.com.
Currently, even if that capability existed, the spammer could just
put in whatever email address they wanted (since there will be no
validation step). With the validation step in place, at least
they'd have to keep coming up with new email addresses/domains to
use.
Of course, if they're using hotmail.com or gmail.com... ;-)
In 2.6, there is a way to moderate registrations (and remove user
accounts), so that might be really useful as well.
