no reference for 2 years. can't find a page from google about this exploit. i think that search engines are smart enough to ignore invisible elements. one more point is that if html isn't converted, why doesn't the user just post javascript? Fiveship 09:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete no credible evidence that this is encyclopaedic. Guy (Help!) 11:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This is not a vulnerability/attack. What's next? The img "exploit" that allows websites to display goatse to its visitors? :) --- RockMFR 14:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This isn't an exploit per-se. It's a technique that was once widely used as part of some exploits and by SEO companies/link spammers (just like using text-indent et al. to have content rendered but not displayed). The fact that the article doesn't make this obvious is quite telling, in my humble opinion. Anyway, it's pretty much a non-issue and I feel the technique in itself isn't notable enough, not to mention that fact that the article is completely unsourced.

- Delete; no sources, so the article fails WP:V and WP:RS. *** Crotalus *** 00:25, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, it's not an 'exploit' but rather a method of keyword stuffing, and that page already mentions the use of CSS to hide keywords. -- Mithent 14:10, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No sources, not verifiable, no content, no context and inaccurate (not an exploit). In what way was this article encyclopedia-worthy again? --Tinctorius 22:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom, yet another good find. RFerreira 07:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
