Wiki spammers are still very active on qemu.org (see

The QEMU wiki needs more technical protection against spam
and also more administrators who can remove spam pages
(I can't, so I simply emptied the pages I just found).
There's no simple solution to spam. Even captcha's are limited as many
spammers are just using mechanical turks plus OCR to defeat captchas.
recaptcha had some problems recently so I had to disable it on the wiki
which led to an influx of spam. It seems to be working fine again so
I've reenabled it. Hopefully the spam activity will dramatically drop
again.
