If they only made those 20 edits, then I'd agree, but many are making 10x that many edits complaining about their toys being taken away.
Again, why not encourage them to be more productive instead of lambasting them?
With so many of them, the last thing you'd want is for them to become more productive, because they're terrible editors. Carbonite is right: increasing numbers of people see this as a social club, many of whom seem to have difficulty getting along with people, or else enjoy causing trouble and drama; and from time to time, just to keep their hand in encyclopedia-wise, they'll engage in a quick bit of POV pushing, a flurry of reverts, and some name-calling, with a few spelling mistakes thrown in for good measure. Otherwise, it's back to editing the user page and trying to change policy.

Don't worry we have plenty for terrible editors to do. RC patrol for a start.
