==Solutions...how to fight spam on wikis== | |||
I have a mediawiki site set up that just got spam links (ment to increase page rank in google), how do you fight this? | |||
*The only solution I can think of is having what many sites use to stop automated form submission, which is have an image that contains a word that the user has to retype. This would be a slight burdon to the user, but it would make the user and the spammer on the same level, since one could delete spam just as fast as a spammer could produce it.
