They have trashed it again in the mean time

I have restored the backup again, and this time the hourly backups will ensure we can roll back properly.

I have also blocked non-UK IP's as a temporary measure, it seems that US ones are a problem and that the spammers are using proxy servers etc...

The measure is not perfect but should keep is safe until a decision is made as to what can be done to protect the site.

Since doing it we have had 8 blocks, all from various places.

Just had a visitor who had this refer

As soon as I restore the site spammers are trying to deface it. Maybe the option will be to just add the IP check to the pages that edit the Wiki?

That way everyone can view it, but only people who list an UK/GB IP can edit it?
