Which doesn't work well during rapid moves. Again, the proposal is to throttle pages moves to one per minute. Not hard, the move is already logged per user, and gives time to respond in the cases of abuse.
I wouldn't be keen if this applied to *all* users. I've done around 50 page moves in maybe 5 minutes - and I'm not a vandal. Sometimes you want to standardise the naming for a category. In my case, I was renaming all the French rivers from like "Garonne" to "Garonne River".
You are asserting that you moved each page, checked for and fixed all double redirects, and changed the bold page title; personally reviewing and verifying 3 or more actions for 50 pages, all in under 5 minutes (300 seconds, a rate of 2 seconds or less per edit). Two responses:
1) There really isn't such a rush, this isn't a competition.
2) I don't believe you.
Good detection and blocking tools, definitely. Imposing a random limit on everyone because of one or two very new users carrying out vandalism? Let's avoid it...
It's not random. It brings all response times back to human scale.
