Re: [sisuite-users] sisuite-users Digest, Vol 53, Issue 1
From: Bernard Li bern...@vanhpc.org Subject: Re: [sisuite-users] Request for help: Fighting spam on wiki.systemimager.org Are you referring to moderator approval for new accounts creation and/or wiki edits? I'm afraid either way may impose additional overhead that might hinder active community involvement... unless of course if captcha does not do its job well... does anybody know in practice whether captcha is sufficient in cutting down spam for a small MediaWIki installation? I can recommend reCAPTCHA for general form spam. I'm sure it works fine with wiki spam: http://code.google.com/apis/recaptcha/docs/mediawiki.html It actively maintained code and well designed. It even has vision impaired support. It has a wikimedia plugin. -- The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
