>>It is perfectly possible to do exactly what you suggest and it will post and change the contents of the page. However, there are a number of volunteeer housekeepers that will most likely catch the garbage and return the page to what is was before the ignorant posting. The volunteer house keepers have an intrface that shows them the full history of the page and they can restore any version of the page in history. I know this beacuse I have often changed pages that were hijacked for spam back to their original content.

There is a page on the wiki to sign up as a volunteer (I don't remember the URL but if you search for volunteer housekeeper you should find it).

No, the system is not perfect and not every piece of garbage gets fixed. As a volunteer when you visit a page there is a link for the history of that page where you can view different versions besides each other and you can set one of those to be the current version. No page is ever removed from the database so there is no way for any one to blow away a page.
