Yes. Adam had to shut down most access to the wiki because of all the
spam. And my very brief reading of the MoinMoin documentation suggests
that the system wasn't designed to be secure: it's open to either
everyone or no-one (except for 'superusers'). If I'm wrong about that,
please let me know.

Meanwhile I've started work on a WordPress version of the HantsLUG site
at hants.lug.org.uk/wp. I can set up accounts for people who want to
contribute to that. More details later...

cheers

Chris
