Because this concentrates on a particular symptom of vandalism -as opposed to the actual cause- I'm expecting new pages patrol

become more difficult as the easy telltales are now hidden.
Well at least so far, it seems that there have been two effects:
- fewer crappy pages created
- the ones that are create are as easy to identify as ever, since
some of the anons are converting into 'anonymous redshirts' (i.e. users with no userpage).
It will be interesting to try and gather some statistics about all this, so we can proceed with actual data.
There's a guy standing over my shoulder, from 40 feet from my cube, who walked over, and saw the "Page creation limited" when clicking on "MPX" from the "PowerPC G4" .
He came to me "frustrated" and feeling "postal" (bang!) and complained to me.
Now, I'm not saying one way or the other on the issue. I just think the wording could be a little less forbidding.
