Maybe if people stopped unblocking the anons, that would be a start.
I've just checked to block log. No one is unblocking the anons. Well Guanaco unblocked several range blocks, one because it was done incorrectly, the other because you put (idiot) as the reason. If this IP was Wik you should say so. Incidentally for the user who clearly was wik he reblocked with a clearer reason in the summary box.
I mentioned this on your talk page as well. TimStarling seemed unsure why the /48 range block didn't actually block the entire Internet. :) And when you're banning blocks of 65,536 users at a time, it is important for an average random person off the street to be able to know why the range is blocked, rather than just seeing "idiot" or "blocking the idiot again".
Be clear and *verbose* with block reasons.
