LA Times Wikitorial experiment attracts Trolls

How many blog owners can feel the LA Times' pain?

The LA times last Friday stated an experiment called Wikitorial based
on one of our favorite online encyclopedia. Now anyone that's been
online for a least a day knows what happened next. Yes the editors of
Slashdot.com published a story about it on their site and the trolling
began. By Sunday the LA Times had to shut it down because the editors
couldn't keep up with all the porn and trolling that was being
uploaded to it.
