==Spam problem==
+
==Added new spamblocking solution==
I just framed out a [[Battling spam]] article, and will be working on that issue this week. I have a bunch of resources on this that I just need to review, and then implement some new tactics. I think we might go with captchas for unregistered users, as you had recommended. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 21:19, 7 July 2009 (MDT)

I added a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha CAPTCHA] solution to the wiki today, which will require users to solve a very simple math problem before adding a url to a page. Hopefully this will cut down on the recent spambot attacks, but, if not, I can always tweak it further.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 12:55, 3 October 2011 (MDT)
:Made some headway here; I implemented a script called [http://www.umasswiki.com/wiki/UMassWiki:Bad_Behavior_2_Extended Bad Behavior], that monitors activity for signs of bots. Looks like it's working quite well. If that doesn't do it, next step is to use CATPCHAs, which I think we should do for unregistered users only, as you had suggested. Also, the [[Battling spam]] article is pretty comprehensive now. Anyway, thanks for your help on catching the spam, hopefully the process will be more automated from now on. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 13:26, 9 July 2009 (MDT)

::The bot-monitoring script looks like it's working quite well. I've not noticed any spamming since it was implemented, although I imagine we will be tweaking our approach somewhat in the future. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 20:19, 18 July 2009 (MDT)

==Categorized all articles, got rid of junk==
+
Just finished combing through 500 or so articles. Tossed out the bad ones, and categorized every one. See the [[Crankshaft Coalition Wiki|wiki home page]] for a list of categories. I also put almost 200 articles into the [[:Category:Undeveloped articles|Undeveloped articles category]], so they're separated out from the good articles. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 22:18, 22 August 2009 (MDT)

==New user registrations on "recent changes" page==
+
Yes, this is a new feature. It will also help keep an eye on spam registrations. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 11:54, 12 December 2009 (MST)
