I was discussing possible measures against this guy on
the IRC channel. 
I came to the conclusion that the best feature to
implement would be a 
method for quickly rolling back page creation.
Possibly, sysops could 
have a column of checkboxes on RC. They would then be
able to tick all 
the Papotages-related edits, and roll them back in one
request.

Perhaps this could be submitted to Sourceforge feature
requests.

that would be an idea.

The problem with the current rollback is that it just
revert to the previous edit. We would rather to revert
to the previous edit before the user.

I did not block him as it is easier to track a user
name than various ips.

However, one disagreement with loggued in people is
that they can move pages. While anyone can revert
edits made by a vandal, only sysops can fix a move
back. That would be the only superior reason to block
a user than I can see.



thanks tim
