Comment Spam at Network-Lawyers wiki collaboration platform

Hi all:

Over 80 pages at the Network-Lawyers wiki collaboration platform
http://network-lawyers.org were spammed with the addition of porn site links
via the page comment feature.  After I reflected a bit and the time it will
take to undo what was done, I guess that it is amazing that the
Network-Lawyers wiki which was open to the world to edit persisted this long
without attracting such an attack sooner.

The spammer was moving pretty fast with their spam comment routine as 80
plus pages were commented in less than 20 minutes.  I will time myself to
see how long the clean up takes.   But in the meantime I have effectively
turned page editing and page commenting off by hiding those features on all
of the pages.

Your are still invited to participate in the collaboration at
http://network-lawyers.org  Just drop me an email [email protected] and I
will send you a User ID and password which will let you in to edit and
create pages.
