That's good for vandals, but what about problem users. For things like strange edits (eg Nuuk/Godthab), and users that have made POV changes, as well as other things.
I like the idea of mediation by a select group of users, as well as empowering these users, if the user-in-question does not change their behavior, to orchestrate bans.

Fuzheado's system:
- NORMAL
- WARNING
- AUTO-REVERT (auto revert certain pages for the user)
- TEMPORARY BAN (time expires automatically)
- LONG TERM BAN (banned until talks to Jimbo)
...sounds good to me. I think 24 hours for temporary ban is reasonable... and I'm not against there being a mechanism in code that auto-unbans after that time, perhaps even by default. On a side note... I think a lot of issues are conected to there being no official level of authority between J. Random User and Jimbo. Though
there's
certainly unofficial ones... *shrug* it's definitely something to work
out.
