Line 21:
::::: Yes, creating the user page (or making an explicit exception for it) should be fine. A problem with existing page spam is that the page title itself -- a part of the url of the page -- is spam. And correcting that takes admin privilege. So giving each user permission to create their user page, or a talk page on an existing page, should be fine -- or at least, that's not what current spammers are doing. And it's easier to clean up spam that fits into an existing url scheme than it is to clean up spam that has spam in the url. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 17:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
:::::: That said... if someone goes to the effort of designing a language which is programmed using spam? And if the spammers cared enough to (a) provide a working (and safe to use) implementation, and (b) posted advertising spam in existing entries? That would almost be legitimate... Not sure how I would feel about that. So far, however, no spammers have been motivated to go to that kind of effort. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 17:56, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
