What plugin do you have in mind? If it is your URI shortener plugin I

No - I wouldn't dream of putting the full short URI decoder into the
mass-checks in it's current form; but I would put a version that simply
reported when short URIs were detected (BTW - the rules that do this in
your sandbox need to backslash escape the dots) as it's more efficient
to do this in a plug-in with easily expandable list than with a URI rule
and massive regexps IMO. We should have these sorts of 'instrumentation'
rules in the corpus that tell us when a particular abuse vector is being
more heavily exploited and allows them to be used in meta rules.
Anyway - I was talking in more general terms; I have some ideas for a
few other plugins.

Steve.
Go ahead and delete my crappy huge shortener rule after you have
something better to replace it.

Here is my open policy. I invite other sandboxers to have their own.
