Trying to game the system to push a point is
disruptive. I believe
most communities pretty much accept the standard of "disruption
leads to blocking." Yes, they are subverting, but what difference
would a Foundation resolution make? It's not as though it would
make lobbyists suddenly admit themselves and say "Ah, you caught
me."
Well, yeah. The thing I've seen most rein in PR company blog advice on
how to get on Wikipedia is not "the Wikipedia community will be upset
at you" but - in the wake of WikiScanner's media moment - "the public
will lynch you and send your client's brand into the toilet."
Mission posters are of course much more Terminator-like in their
persistence. But with that sort of persistence comes stupidity.
