Hi there!

I have a problem with automatic Wiki spammers, and have been thinking
about how to defend about this in awkiawki.

Two ideas pop into my mind easily...

 1) Guard from adding a lot of hrefs at once. (This means, first you
have to count the hrefs in the old file, second in the edited version
in the file, and aborting if more than five URL:s at a time are added
- or something)
 2) Log and block offending spammers.

I guess the second way would be better. Anyone have any ideas how to
do this using awk? Or anyone got any other ideas?

Regards,
Johan
