Of course not, Weegee is public property. Would we get attacked by spammers? Maybe, but who cares? Fighting spammers is fun. Would it kill the Weegee Fad? Of course not. Recolors were part of the original fad, and how many new users get blocked for making them? I do not make recolors and have never made a recolor, so don't call me a "recolorist" just because I don't blindly hate them. With about 99% recolors like 2013 or whatever, we had a bunch of crap articles and a few gems. Even long articles were sometimes horribly written, and many articles had redlinks that were never made. Basically, it's like randomly writing in a book and expecting something great out of it. Why not just implement quality control? Whether an article is a recolor or not, it should be of a certain length and quality or it will get deleted.
