Description Mark Pellegrini 2008-09-05 18:02:13 UTC 
New users should not be able to run scripts. There's been a recent rash of vandalism where vandals register a new account, paste in a monobook script (like twinkle), and use it to vandalize (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/REDyellowGreenBLUE) 

Please limit running scripts to auto-approved users.
Comment 1 Dan Collins 2008-09-09 10:22:55 UTC 
Is there consensus to do this on enwiki? It'd probably be fairly trivial to add a check before loading a user's monobook that they are autoconfirmed, but that doesn't stop them from using it with a tool like greasemonkey.
Comment 2 Aaron Schulz 2008-10-07 00:59:33 UTC 
Needs consensus to implement.
Comment 3 Chad H. 2011-11-29 21:58:02 UTC 
Would be easy enough to do in ResourceLoaderUserModule--add usercss & userjs rights to 'user' so no change in default config.

REOPENING.
Comment 4 Nemo 2013-04-04 21:09:14 UTC 
No consensus found in 15 more months and if not by RateLimits they're surely doing it via AbuseFilter.
