Here's the problem: the vandal or troll simply has to wait out the timer. By being "indefinite", they don't know when a page will be ripe to vandalism again. That's my idea around using "indefinite" protection, since it will eventually be unprotected; you just don't know when.

I guess I could keep an eye on the protection logs more, but again, just namedrop pages on my message wall and I'll consider them.
