Wait until they breach 3RR and then block them for a couple of hours to cool off.
If they're successful in changing policy, then they won't be able to be blocked. ;-)
Sneaky POV-pushers that we are, we revert their edits and *then* block them. Hah!
Hah! That is what I have seen others do often to get people blocked and change an article to their consensus! Wait... how did you know how to do that?
I'm surprised it was even called an edit-war. Perhaps, everybody who joined in actually became a part of that edit-war, and everybody should be blocked. Hah!
I don't try to game the system to not get blocked. However, I'm against any block on any users. Understand the difference. It's open content, but it is also a work in progress for an encyclopedia.
I fear that consensus on what is appropriate knowledge is easily influenced by policies like this. The 3RR needs attention to avoid such, as the likely-hood of a thwarted consensus is even implied in the laughter above.
I'm just a wiki-peon that finds it hard to find those that want to help create a neutral point of view. Instead, I find those that want to compete for views.
