Hi Andi, I think the problem with spam that arrives when having a popular wiki that permits anonymous edit can not always be secured from spam. Since this is a brainstorm, some easy solution could be: - required a registered user - require the use of cookies, detect proxys, user agent, IP, etc - require a minimum of 60 seconds between posts from the same user - use moderated post wiki - all edits that have been done in a 60 seconds window, should be chaked for common words, spam checks, etc. Then release the edits to the wiki.
