Viewing abuse filter 7: edit throttle

Filter parameters

Filter ID:	7
Description: (publicly viewable)
Conditions:	user_editcount < 5 &((edit_delta > +100) \|( edit_delta < -100) ) &( !( 'user' in user_groups ) ) user_editcount < 5 &((edit_delta > +100) \|( edit_delta < -100) ) &( !( 'user' in user_groups ) )
Notes:	this is a hacky option Limit 100 char changes for anon users with few edits AnotherConsumerRightsPerson - 'user' means non-anon acc, so I've removed the unnecessary code here. I really want to disable this but I'm not sure if it is the best option.
