I think the solution is to create a trusted characteristic for selected
registered users. Herb watches for suspicious activity from
non-registered users and users without the trust parameter set. Now the
trick is how to set the trust parameter, preferably automatically.
Someone else suggested that this might be set by a number of successful
edits. I think that's reasonable, perhaps augmented manually for
specific cases. Maybe trust (however determined) could be implemented
via group membership, to use an existing mechanism. The mechanism for
identifying when to grant trust and to whom could evolve over time -
just having the method available to bypass Herb under certain conditions
would be a good move, IMHO.
