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.
I don't think that fully answers the question. Yes, they're gaming the system, but apparently fully within the rules as being proposed by some editors here. And some editors are smart enough to do these things without violating other rules. Can they be blocked for doing this alone? And finally, I must point out that many admins have been viewing any 4 identical edits in a 24 hour period as being violations of th 3RR; rightfully, in my view.
We've encountered this situation before, & there is ample precedent: the matter would go before the ArbCom for resolution. Take a look at Wik's entry at [[RfRA]].
