Wiki vandalism

Has anyone noticed that there has been a TON of spam on the wiki? This much spam hasn’t been seen for as long as I can remember. How effective are the tools we have available for blocking these vandals?

I can strongly recommend recaptcha if 75th Trombone wants to install it - it’s got its own Mediawiki plugin, and is very easy to get up and running. I think most wiki spam is automated - I’m running a few MediaWiki installs, and haven’t noticed any spam problems since I installed this captcha.

Is it worth doling out some wiki admin privileges so that people can help clear this up?

I can volunteer for that. Please give me sysop privileges, so I can delete vandalized pages.

You two (as well as a couple of others) are now admins.

What is BlogNomic?

BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.

The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."
