= Vandal reports = Something's going to eventually need to be done about. Their edits have always been minimally constructive at best, and they are entirely unresponsive to their talk page or edit summaries. Very often, one of their edits will be undone, only for them to come back a few days later and replace it without explanation. It's becoming increasingly more difficult to view this editor's actions as being committed in good faith, but their inability or unwillingness to communicate in any fashion, combined with a mixed history dotted with genuine attempts at being helpful, makes it difficult to remand them as a vandal outright.

Continual vandalism of history sections. Gearzein (talk) 18:43, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Blocked 1 month.  Equazcion ( talk ) 18:45, 22 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism of the Mushroom Biome page. Gamablaze (talk) 18:00, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Blocked 2 weeks.  Equazcion ( talk ) 18:07, 20 Dec 2014 (UTC)

is probably an alt of that docterwho guy. They make the same kind of edits on the same pages. Also worth noting is the apparently snide comment the good Doctor made to that account before his block was finalized. You may want to consider a more severe variety of blocking. --98.196.175.207 16:37, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree, blocked.  Equazcion ( talk ) 16:42, 5 Nov 2014 (UTC)
 * I've extended their blocks to one year, and added User:JohnnyBoy76 to the mix, who is also either the same person or at least on the same mischief team (checkuser confirmed Johnny and Docter are in the same IP range). The extended duration is due to the subtlety of the edits, as they were trying to make edits that would stick because they could plausibly be true without being confirmable, which is more dangerous than blatant nonsense. Thanks for the report and suggestion.  Equazcion ( talk ) 18:02, 5 Nov 2014 (UTC)

You may have noticed this but is a bit of a repeat offender, having been blocked a few weeks ago. I doubt they're going to become a worthwhile contributor anytime soon, either, so it may be worthwhile to increase the block period in this case.
 * Blocked 3 months. There's a bit of stigma around long-term blocks on IPs, even if they appear to be static, but we'll keep increasing if needed.  Equazcion ( talk ) 23:51, 18 Nov 2014 (UTC)
