Has this been discussed before? I didn't know it
was a possible
side-effect of SUL. We should think long and hard before doing this,
as it will generate a huge amount of discussion in the media etc.
Yes. This is the first I've heard of this being a consequence, let
alone a desirable one.
Are there not more avenues for reducing/repairing
vandalism that could
be pursued first? Our vandalism detection is still fairly rudimentary.
Yep. Unless you want to give every vandalhunter checkuser, 'cos if you
get every IP registering they'll need it, much more than they do now.
