To the great and powerful Spangle-
Ari has a solution that I believe will keep the drugbotspamcrud out of Shirewiki. I think he can get it to you for Micraswiki.
It's pretty simple, at least from the User side.
Nudge, nudge.

Took me no more than 15 minutes to install. And that's with my wiki in a separate database to my phpBB and everything.
The one issue is that it handles usernames less than ideally (ie because the Gralan wiki already had an "Andreas the Wise" account, it made the forum account a new one as "Andreas the wise" and I couldn't find any way to get the capitilisation back). And you'll need to edit the database to re-give sysop to people's forum accounts. But considering that anyone who edits the wiki has an account here and we don't get drugspambots here ... well worth that slight bother.

The spambots are back in force. I don't have time to deal with them now.
Please not that this is not happening to Shirewiki, Sakat be praised.

Ok, that's installed I think, anyone willing to test it and make sure, please do.
That was pretty speedy really, didn't even take me a month
