[WikiEN-l] [wik1234 at fastmail.fm: Quagga's vandalism]

[KNOTT, T]

Am I right in thinking that Wik is currently not banned?  (his 7 days
are up?)If that is the case can the very first thing we do is
permanently ban him for making this threat? Do we need the AC for that?
It's simple vandalism in my book.

But Quagga is a sockpuppet so what would that achieve? 
I'm happy to block any IP that trolls. I'm happy to block Quagga too if
it can be proved that the anons were him, but I'm worried about what
Wik's next move would be. Would he make more demands?

I don't know but his motives are kind of besides the point. Let him try
to harass us all he likes. He has IMO a rather over inflated sense of
his own destructive ability. We can weather any storm he throws at us.

I made the mistake of trusting your word; you gave a supposedly final
warning to Quagga, but didn't follow up on it. Therefore I'll now give
you the final warning: if Quagga isn't banned within 24 hours, I'll
start a script which does everything automatically including changing
proxies as needed, so don't hope that I will tire of it; nor is there
anything else you can do against it. It will run until Quagga is banned.
Too bad you don't understand any other language.
