So not only did you break the 3-revert guideline without any repercussions,
you were actually *encouraged* to do so by another admin.  In my opinion
that only raises more questions.

I was basing my statement on [[Wikipedia:Administrators]] which says that
the revert button "expedites the reversion of edits by anonymous vandals."
I'm not sure where there's an actual guideline as to how it should be used,
though.
