I had a choice once for a wiki I ran. A) Leave it to the spam fiends. B) Install captchas. I chose B. The rationale: a wiki with no captchas is better than a wiki with captchas, but a wiki with captchas is better than no wiki at all.
wait. why wouldn't it be better to just have no wiki at all, even in a situation where there wouldn't be any spam and the captcha wouldn't be annoying?
I mean, what is the problem that is solved by the existence of a wiki, and which are the problems that are introduced by the existence of a wiki (not even thinking about spam and captchas), and how do those problems balance ?
