D’Arcy Norman Dot Nethttp://www.darcynorman.net [ D’Arcy Norman Dot Net] The U of C Wiki was just hit by a moron who took 20 minutes to make 114 edits. It took me about 20 minutes to undo all of this clown’s links to whatever it was he’s trying to link to (using CSS to hide the links).

Luckily, it seems like Captcha-type systems are a pretty good solution...for now.
