+    \item filters, after adding up, make editing slower
+    \item in depth checks should be done by a separate software that users run on their own machines
+    \item no trivial errors should be catched by filters (ala style guidelines)
+    \item there are Titles Blacklist and Link/Spam Blacklist which should be used if the issue at hand has to do with a problematic title or link.
