>>According to an M.I.T. study, an obscenity randomly inserted on Wikipedia is removed in 1.7 min., on average. Vandals might as well be spray-painting walls with disappearing ink."
The thing is, you have your everyday idiot who gets his kicks on swooping in and swearing/writing obscenities, which they can identify immediately.
It is the person that comes up with a plausible explanation and inserts it on their site that they don't seem to be competent in catching.
Look at how easy it is to come up with bogus explanations. Our Hogwash games are proof of that.
It is that lack of accuracy that makes me stay away. How will you know what's true, from what isn't.
