Age also factors into this, the age you need to be to have an account is 13, there's probably been younger than that edit here without an account, but everyone will have gotten older since they were blocked and with that comes maturity and perspective.

On the subject of trolls and vandals, wikis are always going to have them, it's just part of the internet. That is not a reason to not do this. We have admins and policies in place to take action if they turn up. But not everyone who's been blocked in the past is a troll or an (intentional) vandal. What do you mean probably? That's probably the one of the main reasons people don't get accounts. I'm turning 12 on the 27th (28th British time), so I didn't get an account. Also, a lot of people lie. Just check the studies they did on Facebook users. I vote, again, yes. I'm 108 using a different computer.
