How exactly would you suggest this is implemented, bearing in mind the
fact that you can never tell when a user has finished drawing.  Their
web client may have crashed, or they may have just changed pages and
not exited correctly ?   Whatever I come up with ends up breaking the
system in some way, i.e. locking everyone out for x hours etc :)
