Spammers regularly targetted Old [[Liberapedia]] and the Wiki has out of date software.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 has better software and should be less vulnerable. If humans guard their Wiki systematically this helps even with bad software. | Spammers regularly targetted Old [[Liberapedia]] and the Wiki has out of date software.
