The problem, as I understand it, is that wikipedia has: A single
hellbent user needs 10 minutes to cause trouble that takes an
hour to fix. And unfortunately, that user won't go away but
instead appear newly anonymous, and can continue to consume
a factor of five to one in maintainer's manpower. The question
is whether a) they can afford that at all and b) whether the
potential loss of input outweighs the binding of maintainer's
man power (in a way that won't keep them as maintainers for long).

Problem is, this kind of shits keeps happening if you don't
want to block the shitters.
