Just because you fail to see how we can stop the spam doesn't mean we
can't stop the spam.

Members of the HantsLUG wiki have spent some considerable effort in
creating patches for the usemod wiki which has *dramatically* reduced
the effect of the spammers. The patch details are available at the
website [1]. You can see for yourself from the recent changes page [2]
the effect of these fixes.

Cheers,
Al.
