AndyL has just blocked me (Silverback), alleging that I violated the 3 revert rule on the page "communism". He abused the administrator priviledges for two reasons:
1) I was making substantantive changes in response to his fabricated objections, not merely reverting, he was being obtuse and failing to see obvious points.
2) If these were somehow, technically reverts on my part, he was the one instigating them, it is abusive for him to be the one to block me in such a situation, he should have to call in another administrator, rather than judge an "edit war" he was a participant in.
-- thanx for your attention, Silverback

Speaking of which, a general requests for admin action page may be useful in such cases. It would work the same as (and perhaps replace) the requests for page protection page. Or we could have separate pages for different actions (page history move, quick deletions, page protections and blocks such as the one you mention).

Mav:
Actually, such a place already exists and is functioning in such a manner: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard.
In fact, Andy requested a block for a 3rr violation earlier today.

Mav,
I made one called [[WP:AN]] that's been in use for some time now. I think some admin still don't know about it...
