AntiWikiSpamPlugin

lightweight wiki spam prevention

Stop your wiki getting spammed

This plugin attempts to reduce the instance of Wiki Spam by using the MoinMoin AntiSpamGlobalSolution regex's. Anytime it detects that a saved page contains a string in the regex list, it only refuses to save it.

Major premise is not to create any unnecessary load on the server and not to use excess server resources by holding connections open.

All its processing is only done on save, or on attach. (Foswiki:Extensions/BlackListPlugin does alot of processing on every topic operation, including view)

It uses a timeout on save to check if the list has changed, so if there are no saves, there is no un-needed network traffic.
