Today we are having another kind of attack (frequent requests for
big files).  I added fail2ban rules to reduce that problem.

Interesting, and how many links did you change ?
With current configuration you got 1 karma point for being
authenticated, -5 for the too-many-links BlogSpam (14/10)
and -7 for maximum number of external links per post,
totalling -11.

The default karma point for authenticated was 20, but no spam
was ever cought. How did you change the GRASS one ?

We'll have to find a balance. Rember that last week authenticated
users were simply not given the possibility to edit pages.

The monitor shows me you were blocked twice, with the score -11
but does not give me a way to look at the changes (could have been
interesting).

I don't know if reporting your changes as "ham" would be a good
training or a bad one as I don't know if the bayes filter would
be fed with the whole content or just the diff. Surely WikiStart
isn't a good example of a normal page, with all those links... :(
