So what do you do when you've gone back 15 edits, reverted to a clean version, incorporated all of the "good" changes that have happened since then, and the original perpetrator then comes along and adds his/her "bad" changes again?  How long are you supposed to keep doing that?

I don't know about Mark, but I think that you should do just that.
It's safer than banning people and easier for the ordinary user
(that is, a regular contributor that has not undertaken admin duties)
to revert in the case that you've made a mistake.
