If the autoblocker actually adds additional time to a block just because someone attempts to edit a page before the block is up, then that is a completely bullshit configuration for the block script.
It does, and I agree. It blocks you for 24 hours, even if the block is less then 24 hours. I have no idea who thought this was a good idea...
3RR was intended to be a protective measure against destructive revert wars, and instead has been turned into a kind punitive measure which often is only unilaterally applied. Some people have gotten into the habit of simply gaming the system, by getting a buddy to assist in tag-teaming someone else --producing an apparent greater culpability on the part of the one individual over the other group.
If they are tag teaming, then the article can be protected to force them to discuss it. Additionally, gaming the system about 3RR is actually against the 3RR, if you read it closely.
