I'm running an anti-spam bot that has a few shortcomings:
- It's running on my own PC, which is not always on.
- 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 running on my own wiki account. (I leave this to figure out yourself why this is bad.)
Here's the source code if interested: /bot source code
