Appreciate the frustration James - the challenge has been fixing that
issue without restricting ability for others to edit.

Anyway, there is a plan - and we would like your and others help!

We're planning a revamp in the very near future to make this easier to
maintain the list and update it going forward.

A crucial aspect though is a good cadre of committed moderators /
admins who can help oversee new submissions and remove any bad ones.
Would you be interested in being one of these administrators (you
already are one on the current system) and helping to beta test the
new instance?

I hope this will soon be a thing of the past!
