Requester comments
A person has been persistently vandalizing and spamming many users' talk pages with "Scruffy" or a similar word and will not quit. The person has admitted that he is a college student in a school in the D.C. area. The WHOIS reports below denote the ranges this person operates from, which is rather expansive.

Discussion
I don't know whether or not Howard University (the school that he attends as he said here) can be contacted since only the ISP knows where he lives. Moreover, I don't know if they have a policy that sanctions and disciplines their students for off-campus misconduct. That may also need to be looked at. –MuZemike 04:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
