Is there any way to protect the openguide wiki from spam? The New York pages get messed up all the time :o(

I'm still running 0.59 but will upgrade soon. One thing I've noticed though is I'm getting a persistent search engine spammer on the node "Wiki Discussion". I delete it as soon as I notice it, but it never comes up in the RSS feed of recent changes. Why is that?

Not an answer to your question, but support for moderated nodes was added in 0.57, and if it's spammers hitting particular nodes then this may be very useful.

Try visiting wiki.cgi?action=admin on your guide to set up the moderation.
