Folks, if one of you has roll back power on the Icehouse.org
 Wiki, now's the time:

Why don't you do it yourself?

Hmmm... if it's a bot, I wonder if changing the "Main Page"
 base URL would make it "miss" trying to edit the page with
 scripting...?

The site already requires a sign-up and password log-in. If somebody
has gone to the trouble of making a bot that can log in and vandalize
a page, wouldn't they be easily able to update their code to attack a
different page? There is no simple way to reliably block spam.

Cheers!
