Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it. Even if you are telling the truth, the admins may not believe you. There are lots of bad users out there who make the same claims you do but only so they can sneak their way back in and vandalize the wiki. Without knowing someone personally, it is hard for admins to tell the difference so many are hesitant to unblock users. Although I don't think it makes sense for them to post your IP, it makes sense why they would want to keep track of it. Many repeat offenders attempt to circumvent blocks by creating new accounts or using the site anonymously. The only way for admins to prevent this is to block all traffic from the IP. In extreme cases, some wikis have had to as Fandom to block entire IP ranges.

I know it stinks that this has happened but this is a case of a few bad apples spoiling it for everyone. On the bright side, you can is for only 3 months. Some wikis block a user indefinitely on the first offense.
