In one wiki vandelization situation I believe that is what the owner of
the system did. I don't think it's all that viable a solution if the
creep is even moderately persistent.

I find it sad that all the solutions (including any I can think
of) involve either locking this perons out, or hoping that the worse
parts of human nature prevail (laziness, bordem, etc.). <sigh/> There are
so many horrifically worse things going on right now, but somewhow, it's
extra depressing that such a simple and happy thing has to be spoilt.
