Both issues could be addresses by a cron-generated purge on saved previews older than a given time limit, like 1 hour. That way, neither abandoned previews nor spam would create "permanent" junk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dries Buytaert" <dries.buytaert@gmail.com> To: <development@drupal.org> Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2007 11:48 PM Subject: Re: [development] Use revisions to replace previews
[...] I don't finish everything that I start writing so every once in a while, I abandon the post in which case the previews and the node ID would still be in the database? That said, I'm not opposed to an auto-save feature or a 'Save as draft' feature. Except that it should somehow align better with my mental model.
Something else to consider -- spammers will often try to submit spam to your site. Even if they don't make it through, they might insert permanent junk in your database.
