I am a bureaucrat on Crappy Games Wiki and I am being flooded with spam. I want to restrict messaging to autoconfirmed/confirmed users. Will a messaging restriction be programmed in?

@MarioMario456: Spambots using the UserBoard to send spam? That's...new.
There currently isn't a way to pre-emptively prevent that; blocking a user via the regular Special:Block interface prevents them from sending out UserBoard messages, among other things.
The $wgUserProfileThresholds variable can be used to restrict access to the Special:UpdateProfile page, which allows a user to update their social profile page; you could, for example, require users to have 10 edits or three friends or even both before they can do that. This configuration variable was introduced way back as a direct response to spambots who'd sign up and post their spammy links on their social profile page without making any "real" edits or other "regular" actions.
That said, while I don't think I can give you a definitive ETA, I'd certainly like to hear more about the situation in order to better understand it.
Looking at the comments log of that wiki I don't see any spammy comments. That log displays created comments and deleted comments, but created comments displays the contents. This means a spammy message will still be visible in the log, even if deleted, right?
@Ciencia Al Poder I mean the UserBoard, not comments!
