You probably already noticed, but ... they're at it again.
ARGH!
I was looking at a cached copy of the page :S
So they break the captcha in seconds. I'm more and more thinking andres' idea that it's actually farmed out to people and not just bots...
I've shut the wiki down for the moment, pending that somebody who actually knows anything about mediawiki shows up..
My suggestion is we make all edits on the wiki moderated, if that's at all possible. It's AFAIK the only service where we allow people to post things with no moderation on the content today, and clearly that's not working. People will still be signing up accounts, but they can't do any damage with them...
