I considered that a while back, when learning enough about MoinMoin to suck in the old internals manual, but decided against it; we don't have very many spammers to begin with, and the antispam subsystem forestalls most of those, with the net effect that we've had to do only two manual reverts in the past three months. If we were getting multiple spams per day, limiting to registered members would make sense, but right now it doesn't seem necessary. Stan stan@codesourcery.com
