It's really best not to spread out your issue over so many threads. And it's certainly not okay to go to another member of staff if you don't like what the first one said! (which you implied you would do above).

And yes, your post was at about 4:30 am for me, I was definitely not at work then 🙂

You can find out what email address you used to register by going to Special:Preferences. It's in the email tab.

So on to the vandal/troll. I wasn't able to see exactly what they are doing, but I get the general idea.

As Tupka has said, the big mistake that's happening on the wiki is that people are replying to him. That shows they are being bothered by the messages, which is exactly what the troll wants! Conversations like this are a very bad idea. It's better to ignore/revert/ban

That means that you don't give the troll any replies, you just ban them, and remove their comments.

I know it's tedious, but it's the best way to react to incidents like these. It also might mean that you get more vandalism for a while, but most trolls move on in time.

And, of course, where there is vandalism we can globally block. We can also block IPs, but most are only assigned to the same person for a while, so it's not a perfect solution. If the posts are vandalism, like posting porn, then the VSTF can help with that. Just let them know that it's plain vandalism on their report page.

So overall, there are no big solutions out there, just persistence and a bit of help from the experts in the VSTF.
