Hey,

I see TCP Wiki has been the victim of spam just like other Wikimedia=20
Wikis, too. In a different Wiki I'm helping to maintain, we solved that=20
by giving every user who really contributes sysop privileges and=20
protecting all pages. That leaves only the case where spammers create=20
new pages (but that can be blocked with the new Wikimedia version as=20
well, I think). New users have to send a mail to be given privs.

Thought I'd mention it, might help here, too.

Regards,
