# Drizzle.org + MediaWiki = spam?

Not anymore! (Well, basically)

I've changed the default privileges so only registered users can post. It still means that these spammy bots can post if they have an account and/or can still register (I don't think MediaWiki does anything to thwart automated signups) - but this should make it a little bit more managable.

If I run into this again, I guess I'll have to look for third party modules to plug in.
