Wiki Spam

I am starting to have problems with people coming along, deleting the bizblogdirectory, and put in a bunch of crap. I knew it would be a matter of time before this would happen.

Is anyone else having the same problems with their public wikis? What does Wikipedia do to combat this?

Yeah, I'm having the same problem with ResumeWiki. Thankfully it's easy enough to maintain on a page by page basis. Still, it'd be great to have a solution.

I just went and took a look at yours. Seems your Wiki system doesn't have a "Page History" function that can let you revert to previous versions of the pages with one click, unless I missed it.

Man, your Wiki's been trashed :(

It does have the function. It is not a big deal to change it back. Other than, I have to do it every day.

Same shit in my wiki :( I just disabled an edit access for everyone and wrote "Please email me to get access"...

There is a discussion at Seb's Open Research that you might find useful:
