  I just stumbled across this:

http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/AntiSpamGlobalSolution

  I would suggest that the PySig wiki admins deploy some kind of
counter-measures, such as the ones in the above URL.  I further
suggest shutting down the PySig wiki until such measures are deployed.
 The current wiki is basically wrecked due to the spam, and by not
correcting it, we're letting the spammers benefit, which encourages
such attacks.
