This has been a problem for a while, since September so it is becoming prolonged - thought this was the best place to go as not enough recent vandalism to justify AIV. This set of IP's have constantly invaded Soap opera articles and put in their own point of view. It is a extremely unique editing pattern in which each edit consists of "This character should have been arrested and put in prison for it" to many soap articles. The IP 88.111.30.9 is the currently active one, previously blocked, returned to day and resumed their disruptive editing. This user would have been blocked for a long period of time considering the amount of warning they have racked up across these IP's - however through IP hopping they have gone undetected. Can someone check if they have any related accounts/sleepers or any other active IP's... as there are many soap opera articles and too hard for me to track down alone. To be on the safe side, they are obviously good at evading IP blocks as it stands.  Rain the One  BAM 20:26, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that sucks. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do here. With edits this infrequent we can't really justify a longterm rangeblock, and all the articles they edit are different enough that we can't protect a bunch of articles. It's possible this could be solved with an edit filter, but I'm not fully convinced of that (it'd be easily circumvented, I think). You can keep reporting it here if you'd like, or AIV just as well. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:22, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
