The general consensus appears to be the quickpolls do not appear to work in the case of violations of the three revert rule. Fair enough. So what do we do now? I would like admins to have the power to 24hour block someone who violates this rule, once they have received a warning. I personally can't see any situation where someone would have a legitimate reason to revert more than three times in a day. Vandalism - protect the page. Um what else? I can't think of anything. What does everyone else think?
That's a sweet thought, but 24.45.99.191 has been going hogwild with (a) spamming large slabs of text across the place (b) altering archives of talk pages yesterday and today. I put it on the Vandalism page, but it doesn't seem to warrant any action. Just what does it take for an anon IP vandal to get blocked?
This is Paul Vogel who is a hairbreath short of a 1 year ban. He has only hours, perhaps minutes to go. See [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Paul Vogel]].
Yes, I know it is. So you're saying it takes four months for an anon IP vandal to get blocked?
