WikiIndex:Anti-spam measures: Difference between revisions

Spammers regularly targetted [http://liberapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Old_Liberapedia Old Liberapedia], (now offline) and  the Wiki had out of date software.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.  [[Vandal]]s were a regular problem in Old Liberapedia and are less easily detered.
