I don't think that fully answers the question.  Yes, they're gaming the 
system, but apparently fully within the rules as being proposed by some 
editors here.  And some editors are smart enough to do these things without 
violating other rules.  Can they be blocked for doing this alone?   And 
finally, I must point out that many admins have been viewing any 4 identical 
edits in a 24 hour period as being violations of th 3RR; rightfully, in my 
view.
