[Mediawiki-l] Re: boards2go spam attack

I prefer not to disable <div>

So far, by adding

 $wgSpamRegex="/overflow:auto/";
 $wgSpamRegex="/overflow: auto/";
 $wgSpamRegex="/overflow:\s*auto/";

in my LocalSettings.php, the spam attacks have not persisted, at least not 
this particular brand.

or did you mean:

$wgSpamRegex="/<div([^>]|[^\\]\\>)*overflow:[ \t\n]*auto)/";
