−	:We are right on top of it. If you examine the recent changes, you will notice that we are actively deleting spam soon after it's posted. Spam remains an ongoing concern for us, and we are taking action. The most recent action is to upgrade the wiki to latest version, and install a capcha extension. We are discussing additional steps, like blocking edits from users who use anonymizers like Tor and other means to hide their IP. However, our options are limited. We want an actual wiki that anyone can contribute to, but we also want to block spam. Unfortunately, these two goals get in the way of eachother. But we are open to suggestions.

+'''Create and edit BVH animations using Blender 2.58a'''
-Hey Nixnerd,
+For those of you wishing to use Blender 2.58a to create and edit BVH animations, you'll be pleased to know that the Blender developer Cambell Barton (ideasman42 on Blender IRC) has kindly created a fix to the Blender BVH exporter - to allow BVH animations to be exported in the correct format to then be imported into SL/IW/Opensim.
-Thank you for wanting to keep the wiki clean, but i'm afraid you are not doing it the right way.
+The updated BVH exporter now features a check box to enable "Root Transform Only", along with options to export Euler Native and other arbitrary rotations.
-Clearing the page is fine, but you should replace the spam with the "delete" tag, see [[WikiStructure#Tags]] for a guide on how to do this. This delete tag automatically puts the offending page in the [[:Category:To_Delete|To Delete Category]].
-Also, please do not create new pages to redirect the spam page to. The problem with that is, well, it is yet another empty page, and it does not get rid of the spam page, it just puts it out of view, and makes the spam page harder to find when the sysop wants to go and delete it.
+You WILL need to check the "Root Transform Only" when exporting BVH's - to be able to import them into SL/IW/Opensim correctly.
-So again, thank you for helping to keep the wiki clean :-)
+The updated export_bvh.py and __init__.py files are available from:

+http://projects.blender.org/scm/viewvc.php?view=rev&root=bf-extensions&revision=2247
-:I see that you are now using the tag, however - and this may need to be clarified in [[WikiStructure#Tags]] - the tag should go into the article's body, not in the description field of the change. I will have a look at the [[WikiStructure]] article, and see if i can prevent this kind of misunderstandings for the future.
+My thanks go to Cambell for putting up with me nagging him incessantly to fix the issue, along with badgering him on IRC and via e-mail :)
-:But again, thank you very much for helping :-)

-:: I notice that you still use the tag in the edit summary. This defeats the purpose of the tag. Please use it in the spam page's content.
+Please note however, so far the revised exporter files have only been tested by me, briefly and only using Blender 2.58a
