[aprssig] aprs wiki

[Scott Miller]

Both the APRS wiki and the Argent wiki got hit by spammers a while back. 
  I locked down both to require email verification, and that seems to 
have kept them off the Argent wiki but not info.aprs.net.

I'd be happy to designate a couple more admins to help keep the spammers 
in check.  And it looks like we're going to need a better Captcha or 
something.  If someone can suggest one, I'll go set it up when I get a 
chance.  For now, some help weeding out the spam and the spammer 
accounts would be appreciated.  Non-admins should at least be able to 
rename pages.

If I can figure out how to get IP addresses associated with the spam 
posts, I can start blocking them if they're consistent.
