 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

As each IP is banned, a new one jumps in and begins vandalizing certain userpages. It is an obvious case of multiple IP abuse to avoid a temporary anon block for vandalism. The edits being made are verbatim identical. Pstanton (talk) 23:23, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

 * 64.79.101.173 and 64.79.101.174 are also in on this. I'd strongly recommend protection of the user pages targeted.  Super Mario  Man  23:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The IP series is in a /24 range per the WHOIS info. A range block would be effective and likely would have minimal collateral damage. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 23:40, 6 August 2011 (UTC)


 * And again... 64.79.101.176 (already blocked for three months as an open proxy). Yes, some sort of rangeblock is definitely required.  Super Mario  Man  23:46, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
