Spam
From MessengerDiscovery Wiki
Quoted from Wikipedia: "Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages.".
[edit] Description
Everyone has seen it at least once; spam.
No-one wants it, no-one likes it and it only fills space.
[edit] Solution
Spam on this Wiki is also a problem. Automatic spambots add unwanted text to a page or even delete existing text. Unregistered users also find it funny to vandalize pages.
So to put a stop to this, we've added an extension which requires unregistered users to complete a captcha before they can save a page. This solution is there only when you're not signed in. This way we fix a lot of spam/vandalism on pages and unregistered page edits.
[edit] Removal
Still, some spam will continue, so if you see spam on a page, delete it or notify an admin/sysop. Spam removal requests you can make on the discussion of this page. Just add a new item and one of the admins will look, fix the spam and delete your post. This option is preferred, because only admins are able to delete pages. If they don't react fast, you can still delete the spam yourself.
Thanks in advance.
