What a minute!

When *I* voted on that poll some week ago, the poll was about whether
there should be a *guideline* that reads "do not do more than three
reverts" or not. Nowhere on that page did it say that the poll really
was about whether to allow admins to block a user that reverts three
times or not. 

Many of the 51+ persons that has voted probably did not either
understand that the vote was about bannings. If that is what the vote
is about and not just a guideline.
