Just because 50 chars might easily be a small rewording, especially someplace where html entities are present, since a single one of those is 4 charcters... For en it might be ok, but I don't know if it would work for the foreign wikis Lightning

Some others are registered, but have browsers that tend to log them out regularly. It's happened to me that I found myself logged out without realizing it, but I can just login again. However, if it happens every session, I can very well imagine that one does not take the difficulty. It will indeed stop people from removing large chunks of text at random, but it will not stop them from writing "this sucks" or "and he was a gay pervert" into articles, which are much more common and less likely to be caught. Fair enough. You set the record, you break it. So now if I am an anonymous user and I happen to know something about (fill in a subject), I am not allowed to write it, because what I write might also have been a few lines of nonsense or some obscenities? Not to mention what it does for interlanguage links... I think that the ratio of stopped trolls to stopped decent users is too low to even _consider_ this as an option. Andre Engels
