I've asked wikicreole users what their engines are offering to do against spam. Most of that is in some similar form already available in JSPWiki, however a constant complaint is that it takes 4 clicks to revert a page. I also like the Idea to having a central spamword regex list. We don't have a mailinglist at wikicreole.org and I locked down wikicreole for edits right now, so I repost it here...
