If it could be shown to the satisfaction of the ArbComm that it was an organized campaign, I would be in favor of a month-long block on the entire address space of the organizers, ''pour encourager les autres''. We are not a blank billboard, and their graffiti is not welcome.
The latest case being the BBC, it would be well above AC level ;-)
I knew that we were talking about the Beeb as I wrote my original. If we had proof that the BBC was deliberately and as a matter of corporate strategy introducing falsehoods into Wikipedia (and fiction presented as fact is falsehood), then I would be eager to block them and shout it from the rooftops.
We don't put up with vandalism. We should put up with corporate-planned and -sponsored vandalism even less.
But unlike some, I'll wait for proof before going to war. ;->
