WikiSpam is Making me Grrrrrrrrr

Attention everyone in IP 221.*.*.* and 60.*.*.* - you have been banned from our Ocotillo wikis. Sorry if you are accidently in that group, but place the blame on 221.198.73.159, 60.25.119.199, 221.196.57.131 and who has been repeatedly inserting into our wikis a mangle of URLs to strange Asian URLs, and a handful of other IPs hidden behind anonymizer blankets.

I am tired, so until convinced otherwise, I am applying broadly unfair IP bans.

I very much suspect wikis are doomed- they are even easier than blogs to spam. It is easy to spot now, since there is light legit activity on these new wikis as they have yet to be revealed. Maybe the wiki communities that may form may cleanse the crap themselves.

Anyone with some detective skills knows where this wiki spamming cockroach lives?
