<p><b>New page</b></p><div>=== Wiki spammers ===<br />
<br />
Hi, after a quick look through the user list on this wiki, I see a lot of entries that look like typical spambots, f.i.:<br />
<br />
# [[User:Liuhecai001]], [[User:Liuhecai002]] etc.<br />
# [[User:Bgb818]], [[User:Bgb88]] etc.<br />
# [[User:Www.ab666.cn]]<br />
<br />
In fact, almost half of the users look like spam accounts, probably registered in advance to spam later. <br />
<br />
I think it would be a good idea to:<br />
<br />
* block/delete these user accounts<br />
* upgrade the wiki software to the latest version<br />
* install some Spamblock/Captcha/ConfirmEdit extensions<br />
<br />
Here is a (probably incomplete list):<br />

If you need help with that, just drop me a message :)<br />

All the best,<br />
