I'm still (slowly) working on adding SpamBayes to Roundup. I've exchanged
one or two messages with Richard Jones.
In the meantime (thinking out loud here), would it be possible to keep
search engines from seeing a submission or an edit until a trusted person
has had a chance to approve it? It should also be possible for trusted
users to mark other users as trusted. Trusted users' submissions and edits
should not require approval. In a rather short period of time I think you'd
settle on a fairly static group of trusted users who are responsible for
most changes. Only new submissions from previously unknown users would
require approval.
