I guess I don't see what the problem with solving them all in the same
way is. A person who engages in a protracted revert war on a single
article will get a single 24-hour ban, which is not really the end of
the world. A person who repeatedly does this across a broad range of
articles will be repeatedly banned for 24-hour periods, resulting in
effectively a permanent ban until they decide to stop engaging in
revert-wars.
OK! But if we're going to do that, it has to apply to both parties in
an edit war, even when the dispute involves an acknowledged idiot versus
a respected sysop. :-) Every edit war has at least two participants.
