sorry for inconveniences with the spam.

ProWiki logs the IPs and shows them on RecentChanges.

Admins can block IPs or ranges using commands like
    ...wiki.cgi?action=kill&ip=123.12.12.123
    ...wiki.cgi?action=kill&ip=123.12.12

Actually very little spam comes through because blocking is server-wide,
so spammers are usually blocked in one of the other 50+ wiki projects
that reside an this server.
