Hi,
We got a new load of spam related hammering on
xwiki.com. It is more and
more horrible and creates more and more unuseful load on
xwiki.com. Spam
robots have included creation of XWiki accounts and use of these
accounts to publish spam data in the wiki pages.
I've had to deactivate statistics since each spam-related request that
cannot be catched by mod_security creates load on the database for these
statistics.
The only way to get statistics back will be to use Javascripts which
triggers a statistics storage request in the database (which would be
ignored by spam robots and search engines), or to wait until we can read
Google Analytics or another external statistics engine and redisplay it
on
xwiki.com.
In the future we will propose a tutorial to activate Google Analytics on
your wikis. If you know how to do it you should include this on your
wiki pages to get statistics for your wiki.
I'm getting more and more worried about these spam robots and would
welcome any help and ideas on how to handle this to make
xwiki.com a
viable platform for hosted public wikis.
Ludovic
