"You have rollback powers, use them. If you see an edit that is incorrect or doesn't make sense, revert it."

No no no no no no no. Rollback should only be used in cases of mass vandalism, as one cannot leave an edit summary. Whenever one undoes an edit, it is best to leave a summary explaining why one has done so, so the user who made the bad edit can understand what they did wrong and improve their behaviour for next time. Rollbacking violates the very ideal of "assume good faith" for edits, which means that we should assume all edits were made with the aim of being productive until proven otherwise. The idea that vandalism is everywhere is largely a myth, and the admin team itself is large enough to have somebody around to tackle vandalism if needed at any time. Anyway, most anti-vandalism tools are perfectly available to regular users. These main tools are the undo button and the edit button (especially that found while viewing a diff) and the "leave a message" button on a user's message wall to inform them of what they did wrong. That means that there is no need for a specialised team of rollbackers to look after vandalism. You don't need rollbacker rights to tackle vandalism, and in fact the right itself is practically useless due to the one power it gives being discouraged from use. Therefore, I am.

Also, what kind of spam force uses Special:WikiActivity? I mean seriously, Special:RecentChanges is much more practical as it shows much more content both at a glance and in full, and allows the filtering of edits to focus on those made by IPs, who cause the most vandalism. If I were you, I would be switching my activity list.
