Developers,
I've been using ewiki for a few months and recently got flooded with more than a 1000 spam pages. Using phpmyadmin, I can see that all these page have no content (stupid spammers can't even get the POST right).
My question: Can I just delete these page's records directly from the database? Or will that corrupt the database? I'd like to query for content='' then delete the matching records.
Thanks,
Craig

Since this is really about ewiki, not Geeklog, you'd better ask on their homepage.
Some general information about Wiki spam can be found here.
