Discussion

This user has stated his disregard of the warnings given, and their intention to keep vandalising via comments on User talk:172.135.14.114 ("I can and will have access to other IP addresses at any given time. Your efforts may be better spent refining policies within Wikipedia so that God King editors don't scare away new users. But hell, even if you did that, new folks would still have to contend with assholes like me.")

It sounds to me like a user who merely enjoys defacing articles. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 09:25, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

More to the point, that user's taunt is 100% correct. He's editing from AOL, which is notorious for assigning each user a new IP address almost every time the user clicks on something in the browser. So he can sit there at his computer, vandalizing a huge number of articles, but only a few instances will show up on any one IP address. Nothing can be done except block AOL, which isn't gonna happen. -Amatulic 00:29, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

What about abuse@aol.com? Couldn't they do something?

 Only one block has occurred, and no vandalism since the release of that block (October 20, 2007).  Nothing else we can do here. - Rjd0060 06:58, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
