Bug Description

Anand - need you to come up with something creative to shut down this ring tone spammer. As far as I can tell, they started re-editing on edition/work combination, but are now editing more records.

E.g. http://openlibrary.org/books/OL2918979M/free_cingular_lg_ringtone

Some suggestions:
- add stop words to Around the Library/Recent activity to "mute" the spam
- add stop words to the Title field. If a stop word is hit, make the person prove they are human somehow
