That's certainly the idea, but it isn't
very effective at doing that.
I don't doubt that it does work sometimes, but not nearly as often as
it should.
I've seen a lot of "slam dunk" RFCs that proved to, er, not be. Tony
Sidaway got some great ones. I think Tony Sidaway 3 sets the record
for stupidest RFC I've seen on the wiki.
Your memory clearly does not extend far enough. Maybe it was before
your time, but [[User:Wik]] RFC:d the notorius vandal [[User:Angela]]
some years ago. That is pretty hard to beat.
