The page itself is interesting, as is some of the

the talk page. I'm not sure if wiki bans strictly fall within security
theater, but it seems fairly clear that these bans are for show and not
much else. It's the Internet, after all, and anyone can edit. Under the
current scheme, the best we can do is try to revert and prevent bad
behavior alone. Attempting to ban individuals has proved impossible.
There exist people with actual restraining orders against editing; as
I understand it, that's the escalation step after this.
