What if someone does 3 reverts, waits a full 24
hours, then does his "edit"
again, and reverts to it 3 times - has he violated the 3RR or not? Does
the clock always start ticking *after* the first edit?
If it's 24h 5 min and they do it consistently, they're pretty obviously
gaming the system. I don't see how they could stay on a reverting quest
like this without violating other policies along the way.

Hey :) I've blocked Alberuni for just this reason. If a user is
reverting in this way I cannot assume good faith and they risk getting
blocked. As an admin, I'll be checking the talk page to see how much
they've discussed this with the other party first, however. If the user
has made an attempt to discuss the issue with another difficult party
I'd be much less inclined to block the user.
