Let's talk about why the violations of some users are ignored, such as Blankfaze during the exact same edit war that got me banned.
For the record, during that edit war, I reverted exactly 4 times. Orginally, only 3, but [[User:Danny]] told me to revert a 4th time and he would protect the page. Ask him... I was rather hesistant to break the 3 revert rule.
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.
It's meant for vandalism of any kind, anonymous or no. And yes, I agree that according to our policies, this situation should not be handled with the rollback button, which is why I brought up the point in the first place.
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.
