User:Meters/marciano spammer

A prolific and persistent problem. Not sure where to take this since the user changes IPs very frequently. I don't even bother warning him now since lately (2014)y he only makes one edit per IP. Late 2015 using named accounts again. At least some of these seem to be Simple Wikipedia accounts (?) and don't appear as registered accounts on English Wikipedia. Maybe these are non-global accounts?

Has been blocked by User:Bishonen as banned user MyWikiBiz 12/15. Not sure about the identification, but result is the same.

Has been reverted by User:Antandrus as a banned user, This would likely be [[User:Alwaysbwear]. Actually goes much further back. Antandrus has a long history of dealing with this editor (one post by the editor in question mentions 10 years). Long-term abuse case was removed (see my talk for more info from Antandrus.

M.O.

 * Dec 2018. Drops his rants on various talk pages, and then links to those diffs using another account (and from another talk page)
 * Another new approach (at least to me): hid the mywikibiz.com link on a page on a personal page he lineke to
 * First time I've seen this one. talk page comment that links to a diff that contains his now deleted post on another talk page. 12/15
 * Spams boxing related pages (and even pages that may be mistaken for being boxing related) with with suggestions to buy an e-book on why Bob Barker should have had a fight with Rocky Marciano (mywikibiz.com/2356 )
 * Often adds POV comments such as there being too many weight classes.
 * Recently has started putting most of his material into the edit summaries rather than the article or talk page content.
 * Almost always on 172.56. or 208.54. ( T-mobile  direct allocation)
 * Not sure what to make of this edit Completely different topic Mustapha Hussein but refers to mywikibiz.com/2356 in edit summary. So, either the same editor, or dumb enough to claim to be. Note that the edits on this article were also done by IPs in the 172.56.0. 208.54.64. and 64.107.219. ranges (same ranges as the boxing vandal) so does appear to be the same editor. Same MO by the various IP in that they make only one edit and then hop.
 * Personal attacks directed at Antandrus and me. Nice to know I'm doing something right.

Admin aware of the issue
Dec 2014 Antandrus was aware of the long term problem on the 172 and 204 ranges and was giving 1 month blocks. Dec 2015 Bishonen thinks some are MyWikiBiz Jan 2016 Antandrus is watching this file and blocking users on sight.
