--- Comment #2 from Complex <[email protected]> 2010-04-08 10:19:54 UTC --- (In reply to comment #1) > If users are edit warring, block them. It is not considered helpful to block many editors involved in an edit war on dewiki as conflict resolution is not possible for blocked users and no problem solved. There is no such thing as a 3RR on our project so such would be disputed. > If they're edit warring with rollback, > they've already made it clear they're not going to follow policy, so what > makes > you think they wouldn't just start edit warring manually if they didn't have > rollback? They would not start edit warring because the filter wouldn't let them do that in conflicts that cannot be solved by other means. > Regardless of the number of people in it, "editors" is a manually-assigned > privileged group. If users are misusing rights granted by a privileged group, > remove them from that group. Or block them. Been there, done that. To restrain people from doing some specific action is considered less harmful than a block or removal of privileges. > Implementing a rate limit for rollback would achieve little other than making > it frustrating to deal with vandalism. Reverting vandalism is not a problem in these cases. If it would be, some rule like "action == edit | action == rollback" would make it easy to solve that problem locally. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
