Preventing Wiki-Spammers and Trolls
Describe your challenge:
How can non-profit & volunteer-run organizations that are using wikis and similar technologies prevent or control abuse of their sites by wiki-spammers and trolls?
Ideas and solutions:
Here are a few ideas to start:
--Empower trusted users as site editors who can regularly patrol content.
--Require creation of user ID's for content creators & block input from problematic users.
--Engage trolls and spammers in discussion of the issues that concern them. Sometimes people considered trolls or spammers are just trying desperately to have their opinions and beliefs recognized and discussed.
