Ther The good news is that TWiki's revision control system makes it fairly easy to undo the bogus changes, but it is certainly tedious. I see that [[JosephHVilas]] has been fixing pages recently and others have done so earlier. Others who have tackled the problem should feel free to add their names here and comment on any techniques they've used to help in the process. +- _I had some luck on my last de-spamming pass by searching for **'\\.cn/'** .

It might be pretty easy to write a Perl script that takes a [[WikiName]] and a revision number and just resets the topic to that contents. One prevention strategy is to require more checking at registration time. Though this puts more burden on the admins, the pace of new, legitimate registration on AFSLore is probably pretty low. Maybe a volunteer system to monitor new registrations as [[JeffreyHutzelman]] [suggested](https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2005-March/016813.html) would be a good idea.
