I thought that the beauty of the 3RR rule was its
"simplicity" in that when a breach is committed
there is no doubt? No sooner had the ink dried on
that policy update that such a breach could lead to
a 24 hour block than some of the more "imaginative"
sysops were proposing to "interpret" the intention
of a specific editor and demanding the power to
block at will based on their personal
interpretation.
There is a need to indeed keep it simple or
severely restrict who may block through their
personal powers for omnipotent interpretation of
what another person is thinking.
I fear admin consensus appears to be against you on
this one, that you
do not in fact have some sort of ironclad right to
four reverts in 24h 1m,
and that admins will in fact apply the "is this
person taking the piss?"
test.
Wikipedia is not primarily an experiment in Internet
democracy. It's a
project to write an encyclopedia.

What on earth are you going on about?
