I said, I've got almost 200 of them just today.� The entire site is

</div>Thanks for the cleanup help, Rob. �I think I've gotten most of the spam.<br>
I suppose we could captcha anonymous edits, but it's not much of a<br>
barrier -- Mechanical Turk style captcha-solvers are common.<br>
<br>
I'm not happy with the idea of disallowing anon edits, although I won't<br>
rule it out categorically.<br>
<br>
Obviously offsite links by anon editors are, shall we say, highly<br>
suspect. �Seems like a spam filter of some kind is in order; anybody<br>
have experience with them and want to help set on up for Noisebridge?<br>
