:I think that is appropriate. If the user intends to cause damage, a month is usually enough time to persuade them to go away. If the user intends to become a real contributor, then a month is usually enough time for them to 'convert' and they can begin editing after that time, in the knowledge that vandalism won't be tolerated like that. Very rarely would that ever be an accident by a legitimate user. Even if they don't understand the implications of editing a wiki, the chances are they would never consider contributing. So it's fine by me - main page vandalism carries the death sentence where I come from anyway!

== Perspective == | |||
I know that we should try to use third person perspective wherever possible. I have tried to re-write mission pages removing ''you'' for ''the player'', only to realize that at the end, it's still in second person, saying ''Drive to ______ etc.''. I don't know if it's even possible to have a mission page in third person and I have made a mess where I have tried. Is there anything about that, to say that mission pages can be written as walkthroughs? I am ready to go back and re-write the pages again or revert my edits.
