"Maybe we could block edits with style=display:none?"

- On a related track, does it help to report spam in the table? or it just adds workload? I would erase the spam, but I think that a revert is a better (cleaner) solution.--Xavi 08:30, 5 January 2007 (EST)
- Spam patrol is a positive step. I check Recentchanges regularly, but this is an easy way for others to also alert me to problems. Thanks. --Walter 10:02, 5 January 2007 (EST)
