*The [[Sysop|admins]] at [[This Might Be A Wiki]] have a bot crawl the wiki constantly searching for [[spam]] and automatically blocks offenders. I'm not sure how they got it to do that, but it seems to have a low rate of false positives. —[[Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">User:Sean Fennel</span>]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">@</span>]] 15:02, 27 Mar 2006 (EST) | *The [[Sysop|admins]] at [[This Might Be A Wiki]] have a bot crawl the wiki constantly searching for [[spam]] and automatically blocks offenders.

Spammers regularly targeted [http://Liberapedia. | Spammers regularly targeted [http://Liberapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Old_Liberapedia Old Liberapedia], (now no longer a wiki) and the wiki had out of date software. [[Sysop]]s deleted articles that were entirely [[spam]] and blocked [[spammer]]s. Ordinary [[user]]s replaced spam with delete templates and alerted sysops. Spam in good articles was reverted. Over about 2 months spammers decided targeting Liberapedia wasn't worthwhile. Spam reduced to a trickle. New [[Liberapedia]] (currently online) has better software and should be less vulnerable. If humans guard their wiki systematically this helps even with bad software. [[Vandal]]s were a regular problem in Old Liberapedia and are less easily deterred. | ||
