The amount of time to develop a feature makes no difference if the client didn’t want to pay for the time it would take to develop it.

It's all in how you present it. If you say "hey, I just thought of X, do you want to do it?" It's much less likely to get approval.

If you say, "hey, for the cost of a gift card or two we can prevent a single person from disrupting our campaign" it's much more likely to get approval.

And agree, this should be extremely trivial to implement and if the project was quoted prior to development should be included in the initial scope.

We can't prevent all malicious behavior but we can prevent the easy stuff.

Ask the question: How many gift cards should go to the same email address?
