Whenever we have an anonymous bot spamming us we ban the IP address from posting for 6 months, but do not prevent that address from creating an account
The Chronicle of KoLmafia's spam problem.
Our spam problem was originally confined to a page titled Talk:(ASHRM) String Handling Routines. That page was deleted since it is no longer relevant to our wiki. However the spambot kept re-recreating it. Endlessly. Finally the page was protected to see what would happen.
Discussion about this problem was conducted on User talk:Heeheehee
After that a spambot created spam on File talk:Breakable equipment.jpg.
Finally we restricted anonymous IPs from editing out wiki in an attempt to stop the problem. We await the outcome of this experiment.
