[Pmwiki-users] Spamming technique

Hi

I just noticed a technique used by spammers... add your links as white 
text to the bottom of a page...

	%white% engagement, [[http://...marriage-proposals.html marriage 
	proposals]] pop question,  [[http://...wedding-proposal-idea.html 
	proposal ideas]] 

(I've mangled the URIs above if you're wondering about the '...').

In this case it was the WikiSandbox-page that was modified, and since I've
excluded that from the list of pages which send a notification-email I
never even got a notice...

So a tip for the admins is to do a search for '%white%' on your sites...

/Christian
