Good idea.
 it would certainly mean we no longer feel we're drowning in vandal edits.

I think an alert to a user that appears above all their edit boxes could 
be useful -- there could be a flag that says "you have been identified 
by user X as making vandal edits / breaching copyright / etc. Please use 
the Sandbox to test wiki markup."
-- something to let them know a) we're onto them and b) where they can 
respond if there has been a misunderstanding
