Using SPI is useless because by the time the investigations are completed the vandal's adress has changed.

Notifying editors

...that I have created this LTA page for the Thai gun hoaxster. Please watchlist and add IP addresses and ranges to this page and feel free to adjust descriptions accordingly.

AIV or SPI

@KillerChihuahua: This vandal keeps his IP adress for 1 to 5 days and then switch to another. Using SPI is useless because by the time the investigations are completed the vandal's adress has changed. However, he has a very strong signature: he is adding long lists of users with no sources to various firearms articles (and his IPs always come from Thailand). Therefore, we are always sure this is him when reporting to AIV.--Le Petit Chat (talk) 13:42, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
