A related issue is [[sysop vigilantiism]] which is not necessarily vandalism, but does subvert [[due process]] and degrade trust in the [[power structure]]. However, [[social exclusion]] of some [[faction]] can just cause it to go somewhere else:  as with [[Wikipedia factions]], many of whom left early to do something else.  [[Sysop vandalism]] is much worse, because it prevents the actual [[GFDL corpus]] from being corrected, and may not even be noticed for a long time. So controls on [[sysop vandalism]] are highest priority, as with all other [[vandalism]] (the only reason to need any kind of [[sysop]]).
