Let's not continue subject tags that imply someone is guilty. Most of the time it's a baseless complaint from someone who was banned or blocked for a very good reason.
I have changed the Subject in the e-mail thread as follows:
* Tag-teaming (was: Fvw's abuse of admin powers)
And when you reply to _this_ message, please strip off the part in parentheses, so it looks like this:
* Tag-teaming
Thank you.

If the autoblocker actually adds additional time to a block just because someone attempts to edit a page before the block is up, then that is a completely bullshit configuration for the block script.
It does, and I agree. It blocks you for 24 hours, even if the block is less then 24 hours. I have no idea who thought this was a good idea...
3RR was intended to be a protective measure against
destructive revert
wars, and instead has been turned into a kind punitive
measure which
often is only unilaterally applied. Some people have gotten into the habit of simply gaming the system, by getting a buddy to assist in tag-teaming someone else --producing an apparent greater culpability on the part of the one individual over the other group.
If they are tag teaming, then the article can be protected to force them to discuss it. Additionally, gaming the system about 3RR is actually against the 3RR, if you read it closely. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
