Beyond the vandalism problem, I have dealt with complaints on OTRS
relating to weight, such as emphasis on stories about paedophiles on
school articles. However it is hard to imagine how a filter would deal
with this and I suspect the majority of our community would not want
to start hiding paragraphs that include difficult words such as
"paedophile", particularly when they are likely to be accurate and
verifiable even for articles likely to be accessed by young readers.

Cheers,
