I don't know how difficult it would be to implement technically, but I think it would be a good move to prevent people from vandalising other people's User pages, as some are doing.
To call those edits "vandalism" is to use far too strong a word, especially from an admitted newbie who isn't familiar with the full history of Lir's actions here.
You, too are a newbie. And "vandalism" is far too strong a word in 95% of its usage at Wikipedia. Oliver's use is consistent with the Wikipedia norm.
In other words, you sounded a bit high-handed in your response to Oliver. I hope that wasn't your intention.
