Comment:

 (Not sure you're referring to with ''“you”'', but for the record I
 didn't post the above comment.)

 But I do agree with the commenter. I don't think we should add spam
 protection measures that we ''know'' aren't helpful in the long run. You
 know how hard it is to remove features once they've been added, right? ;-)

 What we ''should'' do, IMHO, is to add extension points that allows
 plugins to veto wiki and ticket changes. That would allow us (or someone
 else) to develop a spam-blocker plugin. That plugin could use a simple
 blacklist, or it could be more extensive (and useful). See also #2176.

 Anyway, let's take this to #1145.
