If you really can then do so. If you really have workable ideas. As for
the limits thing, yes they can put in some limits. This will slow the
script kiddies down slightly. But not significantly. And  it will
introduce a new fallout of denying those useing corperate internet
access. Not to mention those who have an ISP that re-uses ip numbers
quickly.

Instead of calling them idiots provide solutions.
