I was only offering a pointer, the tone of your comment puzzles me.

This seems like a very strange thing to conclude.

The World's largest MediaWiki installation, Wikipedia, doesn't seem to have an
overwhelming problem with spam, and neither does the FSF run wiki. Similarly,
MoinMoin is in widespread use at the ASF and there are no spam problems that I
am aware of. Perhaps it's not a big a problem as you're imagining?

Perhaps we can ask the FSF admins what anti-spam techniques they are using?
