[Noisebridge-discuss] Wiki now clean of spam accounts and (hopefully) spam

[Danny O'Brien]

The Secretaribot scripts
(https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Secretaribot ) has wruckened havoc
and now removed the hundreds of throwaway spammer accounts and spam
pages.

There are still a few trickling in, but with the addition of a simple
captcha on the user registration page[*], I think we've staunched the
flood.

Interesting Noisebridge Wiki stats from
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Special:Statistics

We've just hit 4 million hits on the front page. We have 641
non-spammy (I think) users, and 2,685 pages. We have 35 users active
