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.
The current spam discussion is on File talk:Breakable equipment.jpg where we restore it every time the spambot messes it up. We also keep a spam count on that page.
