That's the whole idea of the 3 revert rule. If multiple people are reverting you, and no one is coming to help, then you're probably in the wrong.
Or you need a bigger posse... :-) It's only a matter of time before some POV warrior thinks of hiring those ad-clickers in India to help with the insta-reverting---oops sorry for suggesting the idea! :-)

I suggest that there will most likely be problems with rigidly enforcing the 3RR, but I'm sure we can find solutions to those too, and I think the new problems (if there indeed are any) will be better than the current situation of some looney getting away with insanely repeatedly reverting.
