Hi Chris,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! Generally, the best (and, really, only) thing you can do in this situation is


 * ask an admin to block the user any time they show up,
 * make sure the admin checks the "block IP address" option when they do so,
 * delete/revert what the user writes, and
 * most importantly: ignore the user. conversations with them and negative reactions will continue to provide them with a motivation to keep trolling. You need to demonstrate that they can't bother you in order for them to get bored and go away.

If you suspect that the IP addresses are similar, please have an admin send us a message at Special:Contact/general with a list of usernames you believe this person has used on your wiki. We can look up the IP addresses and see if there's enough of a pattern to use a rangeblock to help slow them down.

But other than that, if they're changing usernames and IPs, then they're effectively acting like different people as far as technology can tell. You'll just need to stay on top of it: block, revert, ignore.

best of luck!
