[Open-bio-l] Open Bio Wiki spamming

[Andy Jenkinson]

The biodas wiki has tons, but not all visible - mostly user pages. I gave up doing anything about it unless I spot it on a page. You can do:

I'm not sure if the registrations are automated or not, but I suspect so. A better captcha would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Andy
