How about valuing email verification before editing:

wiki/forum/mailing list/toaster b. (I mean wiki, not necessarily
mediawiki)

various services.
* To make it possible to warn/ban an /email address/ from using the
wiki (vs graffiti, spam, etc)
Interesting concept, but wouldn't this fail as long as it was as easy
to create a new, non-black-listed e-mail account as to create a new,
non-black-listed wiki/forum/whatever account? Which, unless you had a
very restrictive e-mail domain blacklist/whitelist system, would
undoubtedly be the case.
