It sometimes happens that true vandals login. I give as an example Annetit on the [[Woman]] article. If this person was posting from an ip number, instead of a username, they would have been promptly and justly banned immediately.
It would be nice if sysops could just as easily obtain and ban the ip number for a username.
This is would I named the "Ip search tool".
The decission it´s "political", to say that way..
