[Moin-user] Intelligent Moinmoin wiki spam bot

For everyone running Moinmoin, you should be aware that I've had both of my
wiki's hit by a spam bot that is smart enough to generate a Moinmoin account
first, before spamming the wiki.  My standard bar was just to restrict
writing to logged in Users, which apparently isn't good enough any more.

All the spam attacks are coming from 219.88.157.53 (some .nz host).  If you
don't check for RecentChanges frequently, you may want to check into it now.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
