Recently, some spammers took it upon themselves to spam the hell out of my wiki project. It’s my fault for not looking into security measures before opening the wiki to the public. It’s a lesson learned and after reading up on how to secure a wiki, I now have the following currently in affect:

• Page editing temporarily disabled for anonymous users and registered users.
• Page creation temporarily disabled for anonymous users and registered users.
• Installed Bad Behavior – a set of PHP scripts which prevents spambots from accessing the site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and comparing them to profiles from known spambots.
• Only users with accounts four days old or older can create pages (subject to change).

Once I’m confident about the way things are going, I’ll re-enable permissions for registered users.
