So Fandom does actually care about things like this. They can also globally block IPs so that vandals can't use them in the future. Frankly, I think Fandom should just auto-block known commercial VPNs but if they don't want to do that, then they can be the ones playing whack-a-mole. And yes, they only care when it affects the money flow. Take all that drama with the walking dead wiki for example. They allowed the admins there to use horrible racial slurs on a fanfiction wiki back in 2013, when the world was less PC, but as soon as all the racial shit started to heat up between 2013 - 2020 Fandom all of a sudden decided that yes, racial slurs are wrong and we should punish them ( that they did not even end up doing becuse the walking dead wiki was a big money maker for them and they did not want to upset their cash cow )

so yeah, they only care about money and only care about the community wyhen money is at stake.
