[Pier] Had anybody Spamming Problems yet?

Hi,

a couple of days ago we had Spam at our Gsug-Pier. The spammer created a
page which linked directly to a page where pills and this stuff is
selled. Had anybody made similar Experiences. Any suggestions how to
prevent this?

Greetings,
Thomas

I've had this problem on my wikis.  One solution is to put passwords
on them.  When I have a wiki for a class, I usually make one password
for the whole class, and it is usually something like "password" or
the name of the class.  For other wikis, we have a spam filter.  We
have a database of banned domains, and if you try to write a page that
contains a URL for a banned domain, the wiki pretends to accept the
write but actually throws it away.  This, coupled with the ability to
go back to a previous version of a page, keeps the spam to a minimum.

I've done this for WikiWorks and swiki, but not for Pier.
