Forum:On-the-spot blocks for page wipers

Can we make it so that page wipers/page blankers get blocked right on the spot instead of being warned prior to a block? Page wipers are, for the most part, malicious in nature and are almost guaranteed vandals (spare the rare case of a person accidentally erasing a whole page and somehow clicking "save page").

My case and point being the entire fiasco that has happened on my talk page over the last month (look at the huge negative edits to see what I'm talking about):

I'm not pissed off about the fact that they're doing it in the first place, it's that they somehow weren't blocked upon first offence and continued to wipe the page with some one-line jibber-jabber. In fact, the 223 anon didn't get a block or even a warning for that matter. In my opinion, that's flat out unacceptable, it's easy to tell that it was blatant vandalism, and it was brought to my attention when I got a fake VSTF ban from the 71 anon, that was supposed to last until February, got uplifted today. Flat out ridiculous if you ask me.

However, this is the opinion of one man alone, and one that probably shouldn't be taken as seriously as I make it out to be due to recent events. So the whole takeaway from this is: should members get blocked without warning for page blanking? Discuss below. Didikins (talk) 04:50, December 9, 2015 (UTC)

PS: big thank yous go out to Dark Yada, Skewb, and Raining for reverting the vandalized edits when I wasn't paying any attention.
