Recent Wiki spam attacks

Two Wiki spammers have been trying for over a week to sneak links into the Roller Wiki. I subscribe to the Wiki's Recent Changes newsfeed, so I am able to catch them everytime, but I am getting a little tired of doing this. One Wiki spammer has the IP address 222.64.23.78 and is advertising the site http://www.newline.sh.cn. The other Wiki spammer has the IP address 61.149.181.4 and is advertising http://www.99986.com. I would hate to have to set usernames and passwords for the Wiki again, but these dirtbags may force me to do it.

Yeah, I've had the same guys rampage over jspwiki.org. Could be that someone is preparing bots to target specific WikiEngines.
