When Wankers came along to do vandalism they had to show up in person, exposing their persons to arrest and subsequent rape in Juvenile Hall, being shot with shotguns loaded with rock salt, pellet guns, wrist rockets, having steel toed shoes and boots, 2x4s and brass knuckles used on them, receiving testicle kicks, breast punches, rebar upside the head, having their car or home set on fire, having their tires slashed, gas tank punctured, radiator punctured, windshield smashed, the car being stolen and shoved into the river and many other calamities.
In my time the vandal at least experienced raw terror as they fled the scene, hearing the outraged cries of the aggrieved and knowing that pain, indignity and sometimes violation would surely come if they didn't run just a bit faster. That is not necessarily the case any longer, and I think we've lost something in the bargain.
Today a vandal can show up and ruin literally week's worth of work and get away scot free. Especially if the Moderators do not do quarterly backups...
