The fact of the matter is that there are a LOT of people who have seen fit to ignore the vandalism fight. Some because they're simply better at other things and find it a waste of theirs and others time to devote themselves to something they're not as good at, some because they've done it for a while
And speaking for myself, it's like choosing not to join the brigade of people putting out fires with buckets of water until people install smoke detectors and sprinkler systems, and until the brigade is equipped with decent fire engines and hire powered hoses.
Yes, that's a bit snobby. But hopefully I'm helping the project in other ways.
Have you seen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lupin/Anti-vandal_tool ? It offers a filtered list of RC; with the ability to view the diffs all-in-one-page, and convieient revert and rollback buttons... Is that hose high powered enough for you?
Or if you're an IRC man, there are at least 4 different filters running, I think... Take your pick. ;-)
Admittedly, we haven't got sprinkler systems, AFAIK (although blocks might count, I suppose), but the rest is there...
