It's alright... Whispered
So Wikimon's been absolutely flooded with spambots... so lately I've spent more time deleting advertisements and banhammering accounts en masse, which led to me wishing I REALLY had a ban hammer. One that shot bullets.

You doesn't seem to have much in the way of protection. Consider these extensions?
*SimpleAntiSpam - trivial, often works well
*ForcePreview - good luck saving if they don't know to preview first
*SpamBlacklist - set it up to use Wikimedia's lists and you catch a lot
*AntiBot - an extensible framework, comes with one useful thing. Make sure you copy the plugin into the active directory else it won't do anything. Our modification of the genericFormEncoding.php:
$wgHooks['EditFilterMerged'][] = 'AntiBot_GenericFormEncoding::onEditFilterMerged';
class AntiBot_GenericFormEncoding {
        function onEditFilterMerged( $editPage, $text, &$hookError ) {
                if ( !function_exists( 'apache_request_headers' ) ) {
                        return true;
                }
                $headers = apache_request_headers();
                if ( isset( $headers['Content-Type'] )
                        && $headers['Content-Type'] == 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' )
                {
                        global $wgUser;
                        if ( !$wgUser->isAllowed( 'noratelimit' ) && !$wgUser->isAllowed( 'bot' )) {
                                if ( AntiBot::trigger(__CLASS__) == 'fail' ) {
                                        return false;
                                }
                        }
                }
                return true;
        }
}

*AbuseFilter - configurable blocks against particular behaviours. A couple of filters we use on WikiFur (use import on Special:AbuseFilter to apply):
{"row":{"af_id":"1","af_pattern":"!(\"autoconfirmed\" in user_groups) &\r\nset_var('lc_added_lines',lcase(added_lines)) &\r\nset_var('lc_removed_lines',lcase(removed_lines)) &\r\n(\r\n  count(\"http:\/\/\", lc_added_lines) > count(\"http:\/\/\", lc_removed_lines) + 7 &\r\n  !count(\"<ref\", lc_added_lines) > count(\"<ref\", lc_removed_lines)\r\n)","af_user":"149","af_user_text":"GreenReaper","af_timestamp":"20091020073009","af_enabled":"1","af_comments":"Warn non-autoconfirmed users adding more than seven external links to an article at once. Those adding references are exempted from the number of external links restriction.","af_public_comments":"Link spamming by anonymous or recently-registered users","af_hidden":"0","af_hit_count":"5792","af_throttled":"0","af_deleted":"0","af_actions":"warn,tag","af_global":"0"},"actions":{"tag":{"action":"tag","parameters":["linkspam"]},"warn":{"action":"warn","parameters":["abusefilter-warning"]}}}

{"row":{"af_id":"2","af_pattern":"set_var('lc_added_lines',lcase(added_lines)) &\r\nset_var('lc_removed_lines',lcase(removed_lines)) & (\r\ncount(\"[link=\", lc_added_lines) > count(\"[link=\", lc_removed_lines) |\r\ncount(\"[url=\", lc_added_lines) > count(\"[url=\", lc_removed_lines) |\r\ncount(\"[img\", lc_added_lines) > count(\"[img\", lc_removed_lines) |\r\ncount(\"<a href=\", lc_added_lines) > count(\"<a href=\", lc_removed_lines) |\r\ncount(\"<img\", lc_added_lines) > count(\"<img\", lc_removed_lines) )","af_user":"149","af_user_text":"GreenReaper","af_timestamp":"20091020072936","af_enabled":"1","af_comments":"Prevents link, url, img and href misuse (and spamming).","af_public_comments":"Invalid linking or image syntax","af_hidden":"0","af_hit_count":"8062","af_throttled":"0","af_deleted":"0","af_actions":"warn,tag","af_global":"0"},"actions":{"tag":{"action":"tag","parameters":["wronglinksyntax"]},"warn":{"action":"warn","parameters":["abusefilter-wronglinksyntax"]}}}

We use them all on WikiFur. While some spam still gets through, it's rarely a problem. Defense in depth!

Oooh, thanks so much! I'll show these to our other Admin, he does all the behind-the-scenes tweaking!

So far we mostly just use having to have a valid e-mail address as far as I know... but it's gotten crazy this week!
