Can we have at least 5 consonants? There are enough people with names such
as "Srbský" in eastern European.... In fact, the Czechs can make use of as
many as 9 consonants in a row! http://ld.johanesville.net/perlicky/03-

On a side note, image based CAPACHA's can cause problems for blind people.

I am willing to do administrator tasks.
4. ReCAPTCHA enabled for 'edits adding new, unrecognized external links' - which is all of the spam.
This is already enabled.
The HaskellWiki is still flooded with spam; we should take some measure to reduce the stream severely. Most spam seems to be created (semi-)automated; the pages do not contain links, the usernames end with two digits, most of the time. Some cures I have thought up: - Verify new wiki accounts, before granting them rights, based on e-mails in the Haskell mailing lists (or subscription of a Haskell mailing list) - Let new users only change pages, not create new pages - Block creation of usernames o ending with two or more digits o with more than one x or q o starting with "buy" o longer than 20 characters o with more than 4 consonants in a row - Block creation of pages with words in a certain list (Coach, Vuitton, Chanel, handbags, purses, outlet, luggage, "Nike Air Jordan") Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://Van.Tuyl.eu/(http://Van.Tuyl.eu/) http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html (http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html) Haskell programming -- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe (http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe)"
