two tips of fighting spammers from the Sage project's wiki:
* add a list of common Chinese words to LocalBadContent, i.e.
Also make sure to clean out all the spammer attempts on the hard disk. I.e I deleted 6,000 directories in "pages" of the Cython wiki since Spam attempts are preserved and not actually deleted from disk. If you have a couple ten thousand of those in one directory this might make every wiki access painfully slow and impact the whole server.
* upgrade to the latest moin moin release and activate the question captcha. Spam has dropped to zero in the last 3 months since we used it.
Thanks that's useful. Gaël
