I'm using SQL words matching to find spammers for blocking and
cleaning. Maybe I could try using table constraints to completely
forbid creating such pages. Not sure how trac code would react
to such constraint determined failures. If you want to test
ping me in #telascience and we can play with that idea.

Also, consider filing a trac ticket as there are so many things going
on that's easy to loose track of something.
