For the record, User:Enforcer has now been banned. I blocked the original
account and several other users blocked reincarnations.
Aside from the fact that he made several completely false claims
(something which we know 142.177 AKA Craig Hubley is quite fond of), he
solicited support for his crusade from three known trolls (JRR Trollkien,
Pooya and Plato).
Whether he is talking to himself or trying to build some kind of troll
network I don't know or care, I do know that he's a returning troll whose
only intent is to disrupt the community and that was justification enough
to block him. He made no actual contributions to Wikipedia.
FWIW, I also think JRR Trollkien should be banned, but that case should at
least go through arbitration as JRR has made some article edits (mostly to
trolling-related articles, of which we have alarmingly many). I don't know
how much good blocking him will do, really, as he'll probably just keep
coming back under different names.
I've suggested some kind of special quickpoll where we would force a
suspected troll to only make meaningful edits to serious encyclopedia
articles under penalty of a hardban. I don't know if this would be a way
to reform trolls, or a recipe for disaster, but it might be worth trying.
Most trolls seems to concentrate on the Wikipedia: namespace, talk pages,
trolling articles, and their user pages.
Sigh. Why do people have to be such jackasses? Maybe we really *do* need
wikicops in all world regions.
