 What about a read-only BlackList page, where we could
 list the annoying people/bots?

 e.g.
 {{{
  == BlackList ==

  This is a list of known spammers, users/IP numbers:

 {{{ users
 webd
 }}} #users

 {{{ ip
 }}} #ip

 }}}

 That list would be monitored similarly the same way as
 the InterMapTxt page in InterWiki, and we would check
 that list before proceeding to any write operation.

 In the case of Trac sites running without the wiki enabled,
 the content of the BlackList page would be read from a
 configuration section in trac.ini:
 {{{
 [blacklist]
 users = webd
 ip =
 }}}

 The advantage of a BlackList page is obviously that any "WIKI_ADMIN"
 can blacklist a spammer, without the need of server restart.
