We implemented admin delete to deal with this, but it does seem to be the same spam over and over again, so guide admins are having to delete it over and over again. Luckily we have a tool to deal with automating repetitive tasks.
I would like this to be optional, extensible and configurable.
[And then I mentioned Config::Tiny and YAML.]
Config::Tiny is really just not going to be powerful enough. I'm going to go with YAML unless someone can come up with a better suggestion. Whatever you suggest will need to be able to cope with this case:
In particular, this syntax doesn't let us say things like 'Disallow edits if EITHER the locale is "foo" OR (the locale is "Hammersmith" AND the username is "Anonymous")'.
and there must be an existing CPAN module to parse the config file format into a Perl data structure.
