[Moin-user] Problem understanding BadContent

[Gnarlodious]

BadContent doesn't actually stop spammers, it only prevents them from
posting words that are blocked.

The Chinese spammers are all operating out of Chinese IP addresses. I
have used the Apache htaccess blocking method and haven't had a spam
in a few months. Search the archives for recent posts that explain in
detail how I did it.
