User:Otis1017 was indef-blocked for disruptive editing on December 18. This user would repeatedly insert inappropriate external links to youtube videos (presumably made by the user himself: ), then revert any removals of this content, sometimes accompanied by personal attacks (e.g. 1, 2).

On December 22, the second IP listed (which had been previously used for reversions: 1 2 3) posted a comment to my talk page threatening to 'continue his reversions'.

On December 29, the first IP listed opened up again with the addition/reversion process (1 2 3).

Based on the evidence, these IPs are clearly used for block evasion by User:Otis1017. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 23:44, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Similar NY location to other IP-socks of this user, similar unsourced-information-pushing on Garry's Mod. Compare this with this. Quack, quack. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 02:16, 20 March 2012 (UTC) Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 02:16, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Looking at the page history, it seems that the previously-used IP was back in action in early January. The similarly-located and currently-blocked IP also made a characteristic edit to the page around that time. IMO, an indefinite semi-protection for the page would be the best long-term solution for this persistent disruption. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 06:47, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
