Well you can't fix stupid. You can't do a work around each time someone does something stupid. Remember a while back a person wanted DM to lock out new users from posting by default in the bbs software because there were a few spammers?

The best thing to do is warn the person, tell them to use a testing area only, and if they won't abide, block them.
