Could we have more sophisticated auto-detect vandalism and blocks,
that pick up on likely kiddie vandalism, and automatically issue short
term blocks? Something like 30 minutes, and if they do it again, then
we can (manually) intervene and escalate. The amount of manual work
required to combat basic "o rly i can edit??" type vandalism is
excessive - and as you point out, tiring.
