I just spent parts of the last hour or so trying to clean up spam on
the wiki.

While I was doing so, more spam was added.

The webserver now denies write (POST) access to /openmcl-wiki.  That
kind of defeats the purpose of having a wiki, and hopefully the spam
filter or some other strategy will provide a better long-term
solution.
