Heh, I never thought about trolling devout Bahai. ;-) I wouldn't use
a filter though. I'm sure smart *categorisation* could have
interesting effects all by itself.

On the other hand, those spammers definitely would have some neat ways to
exploit synergies between the new *category system* and 3rd party
filters. Similar filters already exist, it would only be logical for
them to incorporate high quality curated data.

I can also think of ways to mess with the *category system* that would
help spammers, even in an otherwise unfiltered internet. 

The one thing most of the proposed red vs blue simulations would NOT include
... is an on-wiki filter.

I am  proposing something ...errr... categorically different from
that. ;-)
