User blog:Inferno Pendragon/Auto-Protection (AKA - I'm sick of the Category Abuse)

I know I'm not a beuracrat - thus can not enforce an auto-confirm on the wiki but I can't stress enough how I think it would fix a LOT of the category abuse we see here: done almost exclusively by the same IPs that constantly spam pages and cause problems, sure you can argue users do the same but they can be banned easier and without proxies (they can create new accounts but we can block them faster).

Many people say stopping IP participation ruins a wiki, I disagree entirely.. especially since most IPs we come across here are being disruptive and trollish for the sake of it: the wiki is a privilige, not a right.. if people abuse it they should be punished.

Admins can continually clear up after the IPs and ban them, knowing they will simply return via proxies - but is that how we want to run things?

Think on this.. (I'm also aware it may seem like punishing useful contributors but look at what is happening around us, the category abuse is driving many (including myself) away from this wiki)
