I'm currently running an anti-spam bot that has a few shortcomings:
- It's running on my own PC, which is not always on.
- It does not evaluate the recent changes, so reverts can only be done for given page names and to given revision numbers. This also means that only static pages like the "honeypots" can be processed. (With static I mean pages which won't be changed other than spam and its removal.)
- It does not have sysop access (a bot shouldn't have anyway), so the bot can't block spammers from editing.
- It's currently running on my own wiki account. (I leave this to figure out yourself why this is bad.)
