Josh, if your interested in delegating this out to me, or want assistance in blocking these spammers let me know.

     #wmMessage .hmmessage P  { margin:0px; padding:0px }   #wmMessage body.hmmessage  { font-size: 10pt; font-family:Verdana }      Easy to do with the administrative access, which is for all apparent purpose lost, since Josh Jones who initially set up the wiki won't come forward to help fix the site or provide the access codes so someone else can fix it.

It would be pretty easy to block them. Install a reCaptcha module to prevent new bots from signing up, and then whack the spammer accounts.

I could do it, but I don't have the access.

Hey Guys!

We have several certifiable computer geniuses in the Groop, including
Groo.com & Groopedia creator Josh Jones. I would think someone could
figure out a way to stop these jerks. (Personally, I wish there was a
way to "Groo" their computers!)

Can anything be done about the Groopedia spammers C4tbaStaal &
Vic4tLiboc?

I have cleaned up the site a couple of times just for it to get spammed
again by these two.
