Can we simply take the Wiki down until it's cleaned of all spam and spamming users?
After some searching on the fscking media wiki site... (Searching for "list users" doesn't get you the list users page first, but another one)
There are over 1600 users registered with the Wiki. This is intolerable. The wiki needs to come down.

The names are pretty easy to spot, but wow how many ?!?
I think deleting every username exactly 6 characters long would get rid of nearly all the auto generated accounts, we may lose a few genuine people in the process but all the spam accounts would be gone.
mysql> delete from user where user_email='' ; Query OK, 715 rows affected (0.08 sec) Seems to have gotten most of them :-) Lets see how it goes now... Anyone who doesn't have a wiki account and needs one will have to ask one of the admins on the list. Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
