 * This just means the edit count is completely useless and why would we have an edit count then? I still would disagree that edit count has no benefits at all. Although the attitude is much more important than edits, edits still bring some insights to the user. At least the edit count shows how active the user is, how much knowledge the user has acquired, and even how well the user can cope with vandalism. If the edit count is removed, how about we promote all the admins from other wikis who have made a few edits here at least three months before? The problem with removing the edit count requirement is that we may have a bunch of admins who has very little experience in this wiki and maybe difficult in removing vandalism since those admins may not know which one is vandalism which one is not. And I also think 4 months is enough to earn 1500 edits.
 * Maybe you should look at the admin participation rate again.
 * The problem with being blocked the second time is that the user has not made an endeavor to improve themselves. You should know before someone is blocked, he should be warned. I'm also worried that having blocked two times means the user has a high chance of recommiting other types of actions that may result in blocking.
 * Your fourth point seems to be more complete than my proposal. Therefore, we can change that.
