Notify administrators at the vandalism noticeboard of editors who continue to vandalize after multiple warnings, and administrators should intervene to preserve content and prevent further disruption by blocking such editors. Users whose main or sole purpose is clearly vandalism may be blocked indefinitely without warning." +% TODO maybe keep this part, not exactly clear where One of the strategies to spot vandalism is "Watching for edits tagged by the abuse filter.
