You also misunderstand your own flags CCC: patrollers cannot delete articles created by vandals, nor block them and right now, we have very few active sysops who are around often enough, meaning vandals virtually have free reign to vandalise, what would adding more staff do to solve the problem at all? You assume to much. I know what my rights and powers are, I know what I can and cannot do. It is my job to patrol the wiki, fix and maintain what I can, and report any problems I cannot handle on my own to the Admins. I have a huge template on my wall that reminds me of that job and the trust given to me when I earned the right to use it, so telling me I don't know what my job is comes off as insulting.

And yes, adding more trusted admins and patrollers would help maintain vandalism. It will not stop it, but it will keep it in line, as is our job. We will hurt ourselves but restricting rights to Anons. Just because you only see bad Anons, doesn't mean we should block them all.
