In any case, I think that we should be very careful about implementing this new tool -- powerful though it may be, for it threatens to weaken wild-westiness™ (as Steven said) of the web while only mildly imposing upon the spammers.
Or on the user admin page we could add a new feature: 'Delete all posts from this user' which lets you mass-delete nodes/comments from a spammer.
This could be implemented as a simple checkbox on the 'Delete user?' confirmation page.
We could also leverage the new flood protection mechanism (see contact.module) in both the node and comment modules.
If you or anybody else decides to do that, please do it in a way that can be bypassed. We once had such a feature and it was most annoying for use with mailhandler or similar automatic posting. Cheers, Gerhard
