I'm with jwz on this - I had that exact experience.
Some autistic german guy (self described in his profile) rolled back an edit I'd made related to a local band known for its satirically serious take on things, quoting 'lack of citation'.
I had zero clue as to how some guy in Germany knew, let alone understood the band given their lack of context. It was then I noticed that wikipedia had gamified moderation because part of his profile showed off his 'moderation badges' or whatever they were.
Despite all that I still use it often enough that I overall like it, it just has its flaws like most things do.
I also found it funny that my attempt to be funny/clever on the internet was thwarted by someone who clearly had no idea what they were doing (other than gaming the system as part of their own self-identity), which kind of fits with the bands whole schtick.
