See Reimar's post for correct URL of the BadContent master copy.

Just as an additional note: BadContent lives from the moin community
updating it. I.E. if you see spam on your wiki, don't simply
delete/revert it, but generate patterns from it and put it onto the
master BadContent page.

Until about a year ago, I personally was very active doing this and
entered all spam I found on our wiki sites. But, since running moin
1.6.0 (also applies for 1.7 and 1.8 now), we get about zero spam due to
the use of textchas.

Therefore, I have nothing to update the master BadContent, so all users
still using some old moin version (or a new moin without textchas
enabled) need to do this themselves and update the BadContent master
copy.
