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

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.

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.
