Well, I didn't make my point very clear, so please let me explain. |

Right now the project is in experimental phase. If we do major changes |

If spamming happens one year from now, two years from now... we'd have |
| 21 |
many users submitting data. Suddenly, we would have to invent something |
| 22 |
new, and it will probably be impossible within the framework used right |
| 23 |
now. This would most likely mean we'd have to literally kick all users |
| 24 |
from the system and start over. |
