One thing you can do is turn off editing by anons on this wiki, if spam 
looks bad.

We are requiring people to validate emails to log into the search engine 
side of things.  Eventually we can require people to validate emails to 
log into the wiki as well, and we can make it so that being block from 
the wiki also blocks people from the social network, etc.
