Survey of Vandalism Cleanup Options

I've had some problems with spam on my own wikis and have used a variety of approaches for cleanup including rolling my own extensions that delete all traces of spam users including their accounts and their edits. I'm trying to decide whether to invest more in those efforts right now, or to build on one of the other projects that already exists. I've been out of touch with the work for about two years, so I need to survey the current state of things before I make my choice. I'd love to help out my friends on wikiindex at the same time if possible, so I'm going to create my survey here. I'm slowly working my way through the discussions around spam and upgrades on this wiki ... AND ... I welcome any ideas about what folks want ... just add them here :-) Warm Regards, BrandonCsSanders

Working out from mw:Manual:Combating vandalism and mw:Manual:Combating spam (not real wild about the combat metaphor).

YiFei has created some really nice filters, so very little spam is getting through anymore, most problem we has was with Account Creation spam. Highly interested in solutions for folks that don't have access to the filters. Best, MarkDilley
