Read only has to do with dml, has nothing to do with ddl.

Well, of course the process needs to be reconfigured but that's not the point at all. The point is, why are objects in a readonly tablespace vulnerable to being dropped? That's counterintuitive behavior even if it does make sense after thinking about the implementation. I think the original poster was asking if she can make readonly tablespaces act with the expected behavior.
The best idea I've seen has been the trigger option from Juan. I
haven't looked at triggers at the DB level so I'm not sure how much
security it'll provide, but at least it holds promise. For example:
SQL> create trigger boo
before drop
on database
DECLARE
eERROR exception;
begin
raise eerror;
end;
/
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Trigger created.
SQL> create table boojam (a number);
Table created.
SQL> drop table boojam;
drop table boojam
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception ORA-06512: at line 4
Just needs a lot of spiffing up.
