He-he. We also haven't cornered the market for trolls and vandals. The first ones they would get would be the ones we got rid of, and who are now looking for a place to carry on their activity. 8-)
This is all getting very hypothetical, but I think that if Google or Microsoft or Yahoo put out a call for editors, those who responded would tend to be constructive people, who would deal with vandalism in a common-sense way.
