Can we stop this before it gets out of hand?
It strikes me that the very idea here is silly. Anyone can login
and change the password *from* yellow to something else. If any of
these accounts does anything bad, that account can be banned for it.
I just don't see what the author of these is thinking.
I have no problem with deleting these as fast as they show up.
We can treat it like any other vandalism.
