• The 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. —User:Sean Fennel@ 15:02, 27 Mar 2006 (EST)

Human users

Spammers regularly targetted Old Liberapedia, (now offline) and the Wiki had out of date software. Sysops deleted articles that were entirely spam and blocked spammers. Ordinary users replaced spam with delete templates and aleted 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. Vandals were a regular problem in Old Liberapedia and are less easily detered.
