Optimiseing is good but it hits problems:
You can only go so far.
If you sart ignoreing too many edits because you think they are safe
vandles will start to exploit that.
Yep, a lot of the vandalism is from anons. I personally would never
whitelist anons, as that just isn't reliable. But with a whitelist
you cut out all the users who do make good edits, meaning you don't
have to check them. All the sharing does beyond what already exists
is optimises it for use by many people.
Of course, not everyone should use this system. Any universally-used
system has loop-holes. Having numerous systems means the loopholes
disappear, or at least become insignificant.
I'm sure there *are* loopholes, but I haven't seen them yet. Care to expand?
