In the last several days I have come across at least 2 edits that were attempting to vandalize a post. I don't mean attempting to edit there own problem into the question or answer, these were absolute spam vandalisms.

Here it the most recent example:

While 2 or 3 in the last several days hardly constitute an epidemic, it caught my attention because I don't recall seeing these before, so I have to assume that previously there have not been too many of them in the past.

Do we need(or is it impossible) to take pre-emptive action to avoid being flooded with these type of edits?

One possible issue that comes to mind it that I have come across suggested edits by anonymous users that are obviously the OP trying to edit that somehow ended up needed to be reviewed as a suggested edit(not sure why that happens??), so preventing anonymous user could prevent the OP from editing their own question in that case....
