@Oot42 Yes, surprisingly none of these are new accounts. They're all over 3 years old, which is quite odd to me.

@Fraudulent Businessman Could you explain how an abuse filter works? I didn't know that was a feature on Fandom.

I appreciate everybody's good-faith attempts to help me here. This is the first major problem the wiki has had since I adopted it in October last year. I just sent in a report ticket to Fandom as well explaining the problem.

@Fried Shrimp Lomein How do I do that? When I indefinitely block each sockpuppet account, the only options related to IP addresses are "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from, for a period of 1 day," or "Apply block to logged-in users from this IP address."

Of course, neither of these has stopped them from repeating the behavior on a new account. Is there another moderation tool I'm not aware of?

HELP - Vandal Keeps Coming Back

I'm not entirely sure whether this is the place to ask for help, but... I'm the sole moderator of an extremely small, niche wiki, and I've had a vandal show up 4-5 days in a row now. I indefinitely block them every time, but they apparently have multiple accounts from 2020-2021 and after the 24 hour IP block, they're right back at it.

You know, replacing main article images with inappropriate things, moving pages to new titles, saying stupid things in the discussion feed, etc.

I'm not sure what to do. The writing on the wall is they're gonna keep doing it for who knows how long, and I don't want to repeat the same actions over and over and expect different results.

Any help would be appreciated! I protected a handful of important articles and images, but I obviously don't want to shut down an entire wiki because of 1 person.
