Well, it doesn't *solve* the problem, but I don't think there really 
*is* a solution which doesn't cause undue inconvenience to genuine users 
or to one administrator user. What it does do is distribute the task of 
removing such postings among the whole group because anyone can edit the 
site. I'm of the opinion that opening things up is a better direction 
than locking them down. Although having said that, we might want to 
require users to sign up for a username and password in order to edit 
the wiki. *realises he's almost gone full circle on himself*

No idea, never done it. I'd quite like to try though.
