I suppose someone could always add the words "Lee Dennison" to one of the Anti-Vandal bots, or make that name a "badword" (or whatever they call it on WP)... A bit late for that in Livingston's case, of course.
I suspect that Brad may be talking about an edit filter which would prevent anyone from adding the particular text strings (such as "Lee Dennison") to any article. Anti-vandal bots would work, too, but after the fact. It is apparently much better to provide vandals with immediate feedback so that they can change their approach more quickly. Look for a new character to appear soon in this fictional world, unless the perpetrator has been scared off by the publicity.
