Is there any program that can be written to keep track of any new users coming from those IPs and perhaps highlight them to a handful of senior figures on wiki?
But that private eye program should not be generally available. All users should be treated with the presumption of innocence.
Watch out that we don't develop a corps (or cabal?) of "senior figures" that keep tabs on suspected bad guys without others' knowing what's going on. We have [[meta:List of Michael's pseudonyms]] available to all; any list of DW's pseudonyms should similarly be open to inspection. To be sure, such lists should state up front that these are /suspected/. (Michael's now does.)
