Forum:What is an example of wiki spam?

I'm creating a vandalism and spam policy in my wiki (Computer Security Wiki) and I need a real example of wiki spam. I also need some advice in writing the policy. Thanks!

 * Please, no actual examples! Wiki spam is usually an attempt to advertise something, with a URL. The URL might be genuine (it does attempt to sell you what was promised), or it might attempt to lure you into downloading and installing some malware. Often, potential spammers practice by just posting garbage (random characters, or a couple of paragraphs copied from Wikipedia or whatever).
 * A wiki has to protect itself by regarding any off-topic content as spam, and deleting it. Failure to do that means you will encourage more egregious cases. Of course some common sense needs to be applied, and if a regular poster goes somewhat off-topic it's not a big deal. But if a new poster puts up unhelpful stuff, it's either misguided or spam (we don't care which). --JohnBeckett 23:16, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
