Here's one I just bumped into: http://lotrminecraftmod.wikia.com/wiki/Hibiscus#comm-208274

What to do with pointless spam in wiki page comment sections? Delete it to show we want contributors to not just shout out at anything? Or would defining a clear distinction between what is pointless and what isn't just be too troublesome and the downside of not acting on them not severe enough to bother about them? I'm ambivalent on this. I tend to delete such posts and would define them as 'no question asked, no experience or potentially other valuable information shared = spam'. A post with just 'First!' in it would be spam according to that definition. Your views?

Feel free to both remove and rebuke the author of those damn "first!" posts.
