    The three-revert rule is implemented by design. See also exemptions.

  • Prevent affective behaviour and force to think twice. LewaLoa (talk) 09:12, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
  • 1RR minimal delay is an amazingly simple idea, and amazingly difficult to implement. What is a post, and what is a revert. Does they happen on the same page? Assume that one editor adds a statement about some subject, then another revert that statement. Then the first editor adds a nearly similar statement on another page. Is that a violation of the 1RR? What if a third editor post a nearly similar statement, is that a violation? How can we detect the second and third post as an violation?
    It is possible to detect this but it is a lot harder than you might think. Se Grants:IdeaLab/Similarity measure for AbuseFilter for a description. — Jeblad 09:29, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
