Got this comment on my blog on another easy fix for this.

I had the same problem on http://krass.com/ . I have a captcha on, but 
just with the default settings, so anonymous users can edit texts if it 
doesn't contain links.

I now added $wgSpamRegex = '/FIELD_OTHER/' to the LocalSettings to get 
rid of this annoying vandal.
