I'm gradually getting back to having the Wiki and Forum under control,
even though I'm still checking the new setup - but I can now access the
VM and run commands as admin (sudo) there.
As for the Wiki, I don't know how widespread it is, but indeed it seems
like some old accounts are being hijacked for massive spam posts.
Unfortunately deleting them is not easy, or at least we would need to
add a plugin like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke which is
meant for mass deletion.
I believe we can add a CAPTCHA for creation of new pages at least, in
order to slow down activity; it looks like these accounts are used to
create 1000-2000 new pages in ~24 hours and then stop.
As for blocking users who have been inactive for N years and simply
asking them to mail sysadmin@ to reinstate their accounts, this could
work as the two hijacked account (Bell6557 and Albryan@comcast.net) were
both active long ago (10+ years). For the moment, I simply ensured both
accounts are block indefinitely, but there might be more.
Regards,
Andrea.

That would also be my proposal. But I have no idea what is possible.
Andrea might know more?

What do you propose?
That user account is very active :(
Do we have a way to clean those up?
Is there any way to throttle the amount of pages created or anything
like that?
I would also be for disabling inactive accounts and letting people
request it to sysadmin@ or something like that if that would help.
Best regards,
Carl

Hi all,
Can we disable users that were not active for long?
Our Wiki is full of SPAM now due to "hacked" accounts...

User blocked. As for posts, I'll delete them later today or tomorrow,
just the time to check recent and old activity in detail.
