Optionally use an external text file instead of/additionally to BadContents wiki page

[izzysoft@…]

It would be nice to use some external text file instead of/additionally to the wiki page, which had several advantages:

• the admin only needs to maintain one list even for multiple trac environments
• spammers could not simply investigate the page to see what terms to avoid
• there could even be a central maintained file provided on the net to be updated regularly by e.g. a cron job (and optionally merged with another file holding local terms)

Note that with fine-grained permissions you can easily prevent spammers from seeing your BadContent. Of course, that's not the default situation. I think that the other points are valid.

Perhaps someone could contribute a script to sync environments with Trac's BadContent.

The bayes filter is much more effective than the BadContents? page is and the BadContents? page is changed seldom. Is this really required?

Not "high priority" maybe, but still: I'd vote for "yes". I run a multi-project installation here with 10+ projects - havint those definitions in an external file would make things easier for people like me. True, this page rarely changes - but sometimes it does. Plus, having it not in the wiki the spammers cannot check against it.
