Does anyone know if these accounts are being managed or is there the possibility as you say for a siege at a later date?
The siege began. Two bots, registered on 2 and 4th June respectively, just posted their spam messages. Furthermore, the messages hack the wiki markup. It may be a while for all the bots to run out, and new ones continue registering as we speak. You should really install that captcha.
ETA: 5 triggered bots so far.
Spam became a rather serious issue now. Just look at the block log: today I had to block 16 spam bot accounts, and delete their spam. I don't even have tools for easily doing that, so each account takes a number of clicks with a delay. Good thing they are only spamming on their own user pages...
I don't know, it was more of a joke. From what I googled, adding a captcha seems to be just a matter of installing an extension.
