As noted in the other thread on the subject, Matt just replied and agreed that something has to be done from their end as this is just too much of a burden on the docs team due to the quantity involved. They are also looking at turning off open registration on the Codex as registration across .org is all combined. This should help prevent some of the spammers using MediaWiki secret sauce methods of spamming. <br>
<br>We'll get more details soon, but in the meantime, thanks all for trying to do this manually, but let's let the magic of MySQL clean this out behind the scenes and hopefully help to reduce this kind of spamming. <br>
<br>Thanks!!<br><br>Lorelle<br>

I've requested from the "officials" to help us with a mass cleaning of the<br>
spam on the Codex. So let's stop the manual effort for now as that could<br>
interfere with the process. If they can't do it, we'll get back to work on this<br>
manually, but there are more than 600 of these. It takes FOREVER to do<br>
this manually.<br>

OK sure no problem. Hopefully there is a database solution.<br><font color="#888888">
