Rails - Jul 2005 - wiki spam attack: 100's of wiki pages rolled back

as of right now, there''s an ongoing spam attack against the wiki. A  
few humans are clicking away trying to keep ahead of a bot. Can  
someone ban some IP''s from the wiki or something? I''m getting
sick of
rolling back pages.

there has got be a better way to deal with this (that hopefully  
doesn''t involve locking down the wiki). automatically rolling back  
all entries from a specified IP address?

If this is a bot, we can insert a capcha into the wiki edit page and
that should do the trick. I''ve been looking at a nice GPL capcha used
in phpBB that I could port over to Ruby (I think) if someone would
integrate it with Instiki.

If this is a few humans spamming, then I think some registration might
be in order. I liked the way coWiki (http://www.develnet.org/) works
with UNIX like permissions.
