We *can* still validate them against entries in known overlays. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
And even if we *cant* validate everything, we can de-weight and hide |
| 13 |
from *default* reports items that can't be found in known overlays. |

This would move the difficulty goal from "submit a spam record" to: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
- write an overlay |
| 18 |
- get it published somewhere |
| 19 |
- get it included in the database of known overlays |
| 20 |
- then publish a spam record relating to it |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Which sounds like a slow and painful process if the risk of being |
| 23 |
blacklisted burns down that whole stack. |
