the problem isn't so much dealing with spam but the MASSIVE clean up required from years of inacivity.. we're talking in excess of 1,000 pages in certain categories and it takes a long time to remove them as wikia doesn't have a means to simply erase the category from all pages in one swipe.. so you have to manually remove it from every single page (in excess of 1,000 pages).
