Fwd: Fwd: WikiGuide destroed by spammers

[Conno Boel]

Hey Guys,

Depending on the speed of the updates... Is there any chance of having a 
review system?
Maybe ICm a trustee-system?
Like, if someone is known to add useful stuff, they don't need to be 
reviewed, but say the first 5 additions of an account get put on hold, 
intil a trustee or smth has reviewed them?

I dunno, I tend to see things sunny side up, but I guess this would have 
been done before if it was that easy...

Greetings,
Cornelis
