As a Miraheze wiki, the Rolling Lounge Wiki had the various spam protection mechanisms from Miraheze. On a self-hosted instance, this is not the case, and this had already resulted in a massive spam attack towards this wiki. To combat this, several extensions have been installed and configured:
==== StopForumSpam ====
Every day, the wiki fetches the latest IP blocklist from StopForumSpam.com.
==== Cloudflare Turnstile ====
As a better alternative for hCaptcha, the used captcha service is now Cloudflare Turnstile. According to MediaWiki, the effectiveness of Turnstile is very high.<ref>https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit</ref>

==== Autoconfirmation requirements ====
The new requirements to be autoconfirmed on the wiki is now having an account that is at least 4 days old AND has 10 edits. Only then is it possible to bypass the captcha.
