What, tech support doesn't? :) Has this happened for every "Removing
Spam" entry in the diffs or is this a bigger defacement? I'm assuming
the previous ones didn't do so much?

Delay updates to certain pages until they been given the once over?
Password protect particular pages -- frontpage, for example. That's SOP
on most wikis.
Looks like it came from Singapore? Can we ask the server admins to
block IPs from known spammer-friendly countries that have no real reason
to read LLUG? (Yes, just makes it slightly more difficult to deface, I
know).
