This is best submitted through Special:Contact. Try asking about restricting ALL Anons from the wiki; if I'm not mistaken, MySims may be a candidate for COPPA compliancy.

Merry may have some Staffy-advice when she reads this, but in the meantime, if you don't mind…

First, stop the excited replies in the summaries. You are giving him exactly the sort of satisfaction and validation the troll desires. You are feeding the trolls instead of Do Not Feed the Trolls.

Best Response is to block him each and everytime he pops up without a word other than the default responses. Brush him off like he is lint on your shoulder; without thought or mind. Here is the thing, determined trolls will always find a way to circumvent blocks. They'll refresh their IPs, use proxies, go to a friend's house, and even get *others* to meatpuppet for them.

Range blocks may provide some relief, and Special:Contact will be able to review if it will be of benefit in your case. Of course Ranges also run the risk of including innocents and again, will barely slow determined vandals.

Easiest and fastest is to "whack-a-troll" them with blocks each time. Quietly and providing no over-the-top reactions which makes it fun for them. Eventually they'll go away.
