More spam problems on trac
It seems the new thing for spammers to do is to add spam text wrapped in the <p style=display:none> tag. For example, http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WikiStart?action=diff&version=106 I don't know if anyone else has noticed this. Maybe it's time to require captchas for account creation or something?

I have deleted the offending submissions. We have the spam filter Trac plugin installed, but apparently we don't have the "BadContent" wiki page from which the spam filter gets its regular expressions, so I just added one. Hopefully that should catch some of the spam. Cheers, Simon

Looks like that's not quite enough: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WikiStart?action=diff&version=105&old_version=104 I rv'ed that one -- just a heads-up, since if there's spam now, there will be more spam later.
