There has been a lot of spam on HaskellWiki. Since anonymous edits have been switched off, a spammer tactic has been to create hundreds of accounts to evade individual account blocks.
To combat this, I have 1. deleted all user accounts that have made no edits; 2. switched off account creation; 3. blocked at least some of the remaining spam accounts.
This is obviously not ideal, as there is now no way for new users to edit the wiki. I will investigate appropriate ways to allow account creation.

Darn, As someone who only maintained a Wiki account to customize the Look and feel of the wiki, I did wonder where my account had gone. It would be nice if there was a comment to this effect on the Login / <strike>Registration</strike> page of the Wiki. Also another possible solution (if it's possible) would be to allow general creation of read-only accounts and then have a manual / moderated process for upgrading accounts to read-write.
