Ok, I have been fed up with the spam on Metacafe for a looong time now. Specifically the Blogspot spam. I just fixed a video and I wanted to get the OK on what I did.

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/975625/short...eo_of_a_sunset/

If you look at the history page, you can see that the title, the description, and the Related link were identical, all indicating this Blogspot entry. I changed all of these items to reflect the actual content of the video (a 5 second video of a sunset picture). I also changed the related title and link to Metacafe and www.metacafe.com.

Does anyone have an issue with me "fixing" all of these spammy blogspot entries this way?

Please let me know now before I unleash the beast on these spammers...

By all means, please continue. That is the entire point of having a wiki ... it allows people to fix little problems that annoy them, and all these little changes begin to add up and make for a better experience for everyone.
