Yes, it's possible, although I'm not sure I'd bother writing phrase rules for a site. You're going to get lots of false positives (which will have a large effect given that you plan on assigning a high score) unless it's a really well-tested rule on multiple large corpuses. People aren't so good at setting the right score which is why we use a genetic algorithm to set scores. At that point, I think you might as well just submit the rule to the SA Bugzilla for evaluation and testing. Anyway, for any site-wide rule you write, put it in local.cf along with a score of 0.0. If users want to use it, then they can assign a higher score in their user_prefs file, activating the rule. Rules with a score of zero are not run.
