[...] With the present scheme, effective spam fighting requires ongoing manual operations by you / tromey / whoever. Plus, the present scheme enables any spammer to create a moinmoin userid, create a junk page, then leave. The problem is that every such junk user bogs the wiki software down more and more: there are some 4000 now, with 10+/day new ones coming. (Over at gcc/glibc, before a cleanup, we had almost a hundred thousand (!), which was enough to cause cgi/http timeouts to valid users.) Cleaning *those* up is difficult without a whitelist such as the EditorGroup. - FChE
