That's good for vandals, but what about problem users.
For things like strange edits (eg Nuuk/Godthab), and users that have made
POV changes, as well as other things.
I like the idea of mediation by a select group of users, as well as
empowering these users, if the user-in-question does not change their
behavior, to orchestrate bans.

Fuzheado's system:
0. NORMAL
1. WARNING
2. AUTO-REVERT (auto revert certain pages for the user)
3. TEMPORARY BAN (time expires automatically)
4. LONG TERM BAN (banned until talks to Jimbo)
...sounds good to me. I think 24 hours for temporary ban is reasonable...
and I'm not against there being a mechanism in code that auto-unbans after
that time, perhaps even by default.
On a side note... I think a lot of issues are conected to there being no
official level of authority between J. Random User and Jimbo. Though
there's
certainly unofficial ones... *shrug* it's
definitely something to work
out.
