Spam bots on the wiki and the forum?

Hmm. The wiki is under attack by spam bots every now and then.
Lately, I begin to suspect the Forum is as well ...
They all seem to be *hotmail* emails of the last three new "members" ...
And they all never post here.
Am I just too suspicious?

Wiki is in fact under attack.
Forums, however, is not - simply links in spam profiles are removed, so the only way to spam is to post something (which is quickly seen, reported, removed).
I thought of reporting the companies that pay somoneto try to spam us - reporting straight to google, to lower their rating, but i don't have slightest clue how to do it.
Also, I have no idea how to change wiki settings, creating user account is maybe the best step to cease spam securely (account is always created before spam comes). I hope when adding some bizarre step here and there will make spam stop being delivered.

Hmm concerning the wiki: we might have to install some additional anti spam mods to cope with it. I remember that I installed some mods for the Arx Wiki and they seem to have fixed the problem pretty well for them.
