Generally, it's not POINTy to ask "Well if this happened...?", it's POINTy to go -make- it happen to view the results. That aside, any regex filtering would be ineffective. Hell, even a court verdict couldn't stop publication of the DeCSS code, it ended up getting put in everything from images to T-shirts to a ROT13'd version that was floating around for a while. Now, I'm not saying we should allow spam, or just post this thing at random all over the place. But we ought not be afraid to have it at all, when it's part of a highly-notable incident.

So, if I start spamming "George Bush" all over the wiki that string will get blocked by the regex filter too?
You know, sometimes I think [[WP:POINT]] *should* have been written about you.
It wasn't?
