Someone else dropped a bunch spam on the front page less than four hours
after your cleanup.  Apparently the initial anti-spam mechanism (putting
the phrase "Please don't pee in the pool" at the bottom of every page)
didn't work.

I've enabled ACLs in the wiki, and made the front page editable only by
"Known" users.  In MoinMoin parlance, these are users who are logged in.
