Maybe a better course of action would be to lock pages so that only registered users can edit them; we have been receiving quite a bit of vandalism of late. Banning IPs is of little use since a dedicated vandal can easily circumvent this by simply changing connections, though we haven't seen such zealotry yet.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that locking pages like that might send out the message that we're overbearing. But if we're looking at a cost-gain sort of scenario here, how many vandals will go through the trouble of making an account?
