+ikiwiki.info is occasionally attacked by persistent spammers who keep
+making changes. Anyone can revert spam changes, and several people do.
+
+If you find a spammer, and revert their spam, please post a link to the
+spam commit here. After review, these can be used to ban spammers by login,
+or for the really persistent ones, by IP (or even IP range).
+
+If you're a trusted member of the ikiwiki community and would like access
+to the setup branch in git to be able to update the ban list, get in touch
+with joey with a ssh public key.
