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?
