For ip addresses, anonymous contributions, we should continue our policy of banning them for simple vandalism at the slightest provocation.
At the slightest provocation? Note that according to [[en:Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress]], an isolated instance of text deletion, for instance, is not vandalism. So the slightest provocation that qualifies as vandalism, but not the slightest provocation that might be so interpreted if the interpretation as vandalism is incorrect by our policy.
A single simple deletion can often be a newbie that's trying to figure out how to do it, and accidentally spilled his seed outside the hole. :-)
