What's the reason for not everyone having rollback? What would happen if everyone who'd had an account for a few days could use it?
because vandals will register with a "normal" nick, wait the few days and then they can easily do revert wars, mass vandalizing (afaik the rollback doesnt have a captcha so you could easily use a bot), etc, etc.
Firstly: they can only revert-war or mass-vandalise until they're blocked. So make sure you block them quickly enough ;-)
Secondly: You've already mentioned Captcha. Why is it not an option to implement a Captcha for every rollback that is requested less than (say) a minute after the previous rollback?
. . . for non-admins, anyway?
