[sudo-discuss] wiki spam

[Anon195714]

YES to all of the above.  Email verification, and block known spammer IP
ranges.  Also, how'bout a delay before a new user can create a new page
or even post to an existing page?  Real members won't have a problem
with having to wait a couple of days before they can post, if it means
less spam. 

Too much "open" = like having no immune system.  Selectivity builds
strong communities, and makes membership mean something.
