Re: RubyGarden Wiki.

At yahoo list, you can setup the system as this:

New accounts can't make updates without moderator approving
it.

Moderator after a couple of updates changes the new account
to a trusted one, so it no longer needs supervision.

How about a system like that? Spammers most likely won't
make the effort to play nice to be accepted.

Yes, we've already got this - that's why I wrote:

the tide a bit.

and it isn't enough.
