I do. First of all the spamfilters available have improved dramatically, 
secondly one can limit the number of links a wikipage can contain. If 
the author wants to post more than say two links he need to enter an 
approval password. This password can be posted somewhere on the site. 
Spambots and spammers in general don't seem to bother  to check that the 
links actually work - so this strategy works quite well for many wikis.
Add a edit password (also posted on the site) and the vast majority of 
spamming problems goes away, or so I hope at least...
