Thread:Project:Support desk/$wgGroupPermissions not preventing spammers creating new pages

http://www.svrwiki.com/ Version 1.24.1

I have put the following code in Local Settings .PHP $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['writeapi'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['createtalk'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['Trustworthy'] = $wgGroupPermissions['user']; $wgGroupPermissions['Trustworthy']['createpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Trustworthy']['createtalk'] = true;

I have manually added all the known genuine contributors to the "Trustworthy" group. I have created a dummy non-admin account for myself to test it and it works. As a non-trustworthy, non-admin, I can't create new pages. We are still getting spammers creating new pages though. How are they getting through and how do we stop them please?
