[WikiEN-l] Warning shot - will it work ?

Wed Jan 21 14:12:57 UTC 2004

How will we know when a limited edit user has gone anon ? Even if we
suspect that IP such and such is user so and so we couldn't prove it was
them. IPs  identify the machine not the user.

I just had this idea (not necessarily related to MNH):
As a "warning shot" from one of out countless committees, a 
"problematic" user could be limited to a fixed number of edits per day.

That way, he can
* either waste these edits on stuff that gets reverted anyway,
* or use them more wisely,
* or leave if he doesn't think he can limit himself to "decent" edits

As example, I'd say 10 edits per day, for one week. Just to have some 
figures.

Circumventing these measures by creating an alternate user name or going

anon will result in immediate banning.
