That smells of going from a spam-free place to a non-spam-free place. Bad idea.Masterkiller wrote:What about if wiki is registration is closed and all the articles are posted in the forum, then if article is good enough it can be written in the wiki, even edited by registered user. This is half solution, because you have to just take care for the forum spam. About Spam prevention - it is easy, just make a photos of some products like chips, beer and so on and ask a simple question "What is this?". Computers don't eat
IMHO there should be a spam office worldwide that can fine owners of spamming computers.The best way to stop the spammers is to honour them. Make a site where each different spam is presented, analysed, just to understand how INTELLIGENT the spammers are. And you will sure make them stop sending all these spams. Why? Because they will realize that spamming is HARD, because only very intelligent people like them can. And intelligent people like spammers dont want to do hard things because they want to get rich spamming around. Yes, the fact that their intelligence is not really put into d.o U uant V.GRA messages, than into merchandising botnets is just a detail. Just like how we need to reconfigure the PIC or the timer for our OSes is a detail. But people in general dont see that, they see genius. Let them see genius and lets make the Hall of Fame of Spamming! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
The point is, there is no spam on the wiki at all. Right now you have to register here to use the wiki, instead of registering on the wiki itself. Since that's proven to be effective, don't change the winning team.In my site, I added another input field that requires users to answer a simple math question when registering. This has, so far, completely removed all spam bots.
Perhaps something like this can help with the spam?
