1 I am getting continuous spam like this:
3 discussion 85.25.146.11 web 11:02:19 05/17/13 2rand[0,1,1]
4 discussion 85.25.146.11 web 11:02:13 05/17/13 2rand[0,1,1]
6 The bot uses an IP address as the username and puts '2rand[0,1,1]' as comment text.
8 I do not have a page 'discussion' in use, so I have redirected this page with an apache2
9 Alias to a static page, just in case anyone stumbles on it. This means it cannot really
10 be edited via the web. However the bots that post
11 this spam are evidently not opening the page to edit it, but merely sending a cgi request
12 as if they had edited the page. The result is that no damage is done on the site and no
13 benefit is achieved for the spammer since google cannot see the result. However, the
14 logs are stuffed with spurious entries and a page is constantly recompiled, which wastes
17 Is there some way to reject edits that do not arise from an established session?
