Forum:Adding "edit spamming" to the policy

I would like to add "edit spamming" to the policy. Edit spamming is when a user makes an unnecessary amount of edits to get a badge. It can either be several unnecessary edits at once, or a single unnecessary edit each day.

The reason I'm doing this is to prevent future people from edit spamming, and also to prevent Port1967 from making consistent unnecessary edits to his user page. I'm mainly adding this to prevent against unnecessary edits each day, as another user also did this.

Unnecessary edits at once should be pretty easy to notice, however, it's because of unnecessary edits each day that I started this forum topic. What Port is doing is adding an option to each of his polls each day. Previously, he added a new poll each day, and that was okay. However, it became unnecessary when he began to add a poll then an option every day. This is impractical, as adding an option resets the poll.

I think that if a user continues to edit a page daily unnecessarily, the page should be protected (if it is one of their pages in their userspace).

Discuss.
