That's why there's a rollback button. It really isn't rocket science and certainly not a reason for a new class of user to be introduced.

  1. There is no special class of user being introduced.
  2. Rollback doesn't work very well against dedicated edit warrers.
  3. I think the choice came down to banning certain users, or doing this. Someone else (not me) decided this would be preferable to banning them.

Yes there is, or call it a rights level or something if you will, but it has been implemented without discussion or approval by the community. Banning them was never on the table and you know it. In addition, it was only you being targeted, which means one must ask the question why and why only one user is being protected.

Unilateral locking of pages is not the way to go, and I don't care how much it inconveniences you. Then we might as well become Conservapedia and shut down editing and registration and lock all the pages, so only a chosen few can edit.

Nobody deserves special treatment on this wiki. End of story. If you had any care for the community you'd remove the code from your page, until the community decides if it stays or goes.

Fuck it, do this for everyone then. No one really has any business editing any user page but their own. I don't see any reason to oppose this beyond "we don't do this because this is not what we do."
