Speaking from my own experience, I started off as a "vandal" got a couple of
test warnings and then I started contributing meaningfully. As long as the
vandalism is not subtle and experimenting users are not labelled as
"vandals" as such, it can be easily managed by bots and users.

Vandalizing Wikipedia may actually get a few started on the project. It's
usually easier to persuade people to do "evil" sounding things on the
internet than real-life - some positive externalities may arise.

The more time you spend trying to shutdown the pages/groups/whatever
