Richard,
but you can't post to the documentation from without Rev. So to spam the
documentation notes, you should be a revolution user. since the post carries
RevOnline login with it, it would be trivial to quarantine abusive users.
And less hours would be spent approving comments... :D
Licenses for the trial version are free and can be sent to any email
address, including disposable ones.
You can only quarantine someone after a disease has been identified.
If it were my product I would continue to err on the side of caution,
approving messages quickly but still requiring that approval.

I'm normally quick to agree with you, but on this one I think your good
nature may have you underestimating the potential for problems.
There was a time on the forums when spam was a real problem. It seems to
be under control lately, but for a while in addition to offers on stolen
"discount" cell phones there were also a couple posts involving porn.
Open systems invite sickos. Since RevOnline is an integrated part of the
product experience, I believe it's in their interest to require approval for
posts in the Dictionary.
Such a decision requires a commitment of resources, however, since for
folks to remain motivated to use the feature posts should be approved
quickly.
But requiring approval is something that I would do myself for content that
appears in my product. I would never want to get an angry email from a
parent letting me know my product exposed their child to pornography, and
unfortunately in the world we live in that's a risk.
