Hello,

Yesterday and may be this is still running, the LDP wiki was hit by a 
great number of spam subscriptions. Lot of new users with no other 
goal than dropping a link or spam messages.

Sergius and I did the most to remove these links.

I added this message to the main wiki page:

"warning The LDP suffers of many spam attacks, by creation of dummy 
wiki accounts only to hold a site link or receive advertisements. If 
you create a valid ldp account, please subscribe the discuss list and 
announce your intention there, if not you are at risk of beeing 
removed as spam. Sorry for the inconvenience. "

so if one account of yours whas delete when being real, please forgive 
us, say so here and create a new one after giving us your login.

thanks
jdd
