Hi Yishay,

My XWiki has recently been hit by spam. I found a

However, since my XWiki is on the farm, I don't have programming
rights.
Luckily, the spam was localized to specific pages, so I edited
those, added
the code below, ran in and deleted to code:
#set($comments = $doc.getComments())
#foreach($comment in $comments)
$doc.removeObject($comment)
#end
$doc.save()
But I was thinking, would it be worth adding some generic spam
control? Or
at least bulk comment control?
e.g.:
* integrate
http://sourceforge.net/projects/akismet-java/
* support captcha for user registration / anonymous comments
* provide an interface in the admin area for selecting multiple
comments &
deleting them with one button
Yes I have been thinking about this too.
Several solutions:
* Integrate typepad antispam rather than Akismet:
http://antispam.typepad.com/
(it has a more friendly license)
* Use the system I've used on my blog at
http://massol.net to allow
guest users to enter comments
* Implement a captcha (we have it but make it work)
Is someone interested in working on this? The typepad antispam sounds
the most promising to me.
Thanks
