wiki spam

[Michael Vanier]

The Goopedia at:

http://people.csail.mit.edu/jrb/goo/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

has been hit by wiki spam. Or at least that's my impression, unless
"actresses naked" is the code name of the next Goo implementation.

I've encountered this same problem on other wikis I'm on. MediaWiki,
which the goo wiki uses, has a spam blacklist [1] which is pretty
effective in preventing most wiki spam if you set it up and keep the
list of URLs reasonably up to date.

On that note, I went to the wiki to try and remove the spam, but
doing that never seemed to work. I also couldn't seem to create an
account. Is the site working for other people?

It's been frozen for a couple of months now. I can't login either.

I turned off the link to it from my goo homepage. I now need to rebuild the
wiki. Apologies for the naked actresses. -- jonathan
