Tim, have you checked UB1's address to see if he comes from a previousbly banned address range?

Wikipedia:Administrators - As of September 2003, it is now possible for sysops to block usernames. It is important to note that sysops are not authorised to decide whether a particular case of vandalism warrants banning by username. The ability to ban by username has been made available for the purposes of enforcing a ban already approved by Jimbo. It may be used to block obvious reincarnations of hard-banned users.
Special:Ipblocklist - 05:10, 26 Jan 2004, Angela blocked UnbannableOne (contribs) (Unacceptable user name. Please log in with something different. Unacceptable behaviour. Please quit it.)
UT1 was basically attempting to bait people into banning him, by choosing the username "UnbannableOne", and by getting into an edit war with five different sysops over awarding himself a "barnstar". Angela was more than happy to take that bait, and so predictably enough, UT1 made a complaint.
If Angela didn't block the user, I'm sure someone else would have, in short order.
