[SAC] Proposals for reducing spam on wiki.osgeo

[Leo Harris]

Hello list,
 
I have been talking with Markus Neteler about how to reduce spam on the osgeo wiki.
 
I think a combination of these would be useful:
- Have more people able to delete pages and users
- Make it easier for those people to delete pages and users quickly (maybe it is easy now, I do not know)
- Make it easier for "regular" wiki users to report pages or users to be deleted
- Make it impossible for a user to add external links to a page if they have not enough edits already (I do not know if this is possible)
- Make it impossible to add external links if the links are on a blacklist (I guess this is already true).  And update this list as necessary.
- Make it easy to search users (like all users over 1 year old with no edits, all users under 1 month old with 1 or 2 edits)
 
I think the spam situation is now not so bad as it was, but it is continuous.  I would like any comments to my suggestions above.
 
Thank you
Leo
