Dwarf Fortress Wiki talk:Spambot attacks
Revision as of 04:09, 31 January 2011 by Uristocrat (talk | contribs) (If they're not after us, you can make the signup different from every other wiki signup and they'll eventually leave us alone.)
One Possible Solution
The spambots are really getting out of hand. Do we know if they're targeting us specifically? If not, it might help to put something like a nonce on the signup page: just a text box where it forces you to type "magma" to sign up or something else unique to this site to thwart bots. The spammers won't adapt their software to spam us unless it's worth the effort, and if they're just hunting down random wikis to spam, it's probably not worth their effort and they'll go away.
