Subject: Re: new spam at the wiki

I've seen a couple of wiki's that have Honeypots embedded in them. 
Basically, when you click on the honeypot link you are taken to a page
which says basically "do not click *this* link, it will disable your
access to this wiki for X time".  So, when a bot crawls the whole
page, it will also crawls the honeypot, and the IP gets logged and
banned from the site.

This might be undesirable for search engines, as you might prevent
your wiki from being crawled by say Google, but if you give the
honeypot page a norobots or nofollow metatag, that might prevent that
problem.
