If they do, they can be blocked again, or their IP blocked. I don't see the need for an auto-blocker. Also, it needlessly antagonises a user to block them yet longer when they are often unaware they have been blocked, or assume the block is over with. Frankly, I am confused as to what the upside in all this is.If a user sneakilly logs in anonymously and makes acceptable edits, who cares? And if they resume where they left off or otherwise make trouble, that will be pretty obvious, won't it? They can simply be blocked then, and their IP blocked if there appears a need.

It prevents vandles logginf out and going after a completely different set of articels. However for blocks on the 3RR and the like it makes no sense.
