Then how about breaking the cycle?  How about calling a halt to the
foolisness and focusing instead on actually fix the source of the problem,
the feed and it's creation tool?  I'm sick and tired of developers whining
about the /possibilitly/ of users raising complaint as an excuse.  It seems
far more energies are getting wasted on working around the bad data than it
would ever take to just deal with the sources and solve the problem
outright.
