Ethical wiki spammers
I found a post through Joe’s blog, about an ethical wiki spammer group.
What they mean by that, is that they don’t delete wiki content, but add their own.
More spammer ethics…
The blogger also noted how he’d had to look out for hidden spam. Note to wiki owners: Look at the diffs. That’s the only way to consistently remove invisible spam. I get almost nothing but invisible spam these days.

The diffs won’t do you much good if the spam survives a legitimate edit. After that, the spam is basically burried until someone notices it in the source or does a diff from the spam or an older revision. That is why CSS Hidden Spam is such a big problem.
