Don't forget to block the vandals, not just rollback their edits. For cases of blatant vandalism (removing content from pages, inserting gibberish or profanity, or spamming external sites) I use from 3 months to 1 year if it's an anonymous user, and infinite if it's a registered one; and also checking the option of "Prevent this user from posting on their own Message Wall while blocked". I usually pay attention to the block log as well to see if it's a recidivist troll and deserves a longer block.
