@Dr. Angryslacks:

I don't think that's a very good policy for the Halo Wiki administrators, blocking users just for submitting a bunch of little edits. We don't want to model after them here, I believe that if a user is doing something like vandalism or trolling, you should at least warn them a few times, and if they persist even after the warnings, THEN you can block them. But I don't think blocking users just for making excessive edits is right.

But I agree that it would be nice for users to make better quality edits. Also, many edits are for adding pages to useless categories, which is another lame attempt to earn the category badges. I don't like the fact that many edits are driven by the badges, not the spirit to actually help out the Wiki.
