    Report active, obvious, and persistent vandals and spammers here. Shortcut

    Before reporting, read the spam and vandalism pages, as well as the AIV guide. To submit, edit this page and follow the instructions at the top of the "User-reported" section. For other issues, file a request for administrator attention.

    Important!
    1. The edits of the user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
    2. Except for egregious cases, the user must have been given enough warning(s).
    3. The warning(s) must have been given recently and there must be reasonable grounds to believe the user(s) will further disrupt the site in the immediate future.
    4. If you decide that a report should be filed, place the following template at the bottom of the User-reported section:
      • * {{Vandal|Example user or IP}} Your concise reason (e.g. vandalised past 4th warning). ~~~~
    5. Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should be made at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
    6. Reports of sockpuppetry should be made at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations unless the connection between the accounts is obvious and disruption is recent and ongoing.
    This noticeboard can grow and become backlogged. Stale reports are automatically cleared by MDanielsBot after 4–8 hours with no action.

    User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. Alexf 21:06, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
    Warned user. Alexf 21:06, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
    @Pillowfluffyhead: This is confusing to me. I believe you reverted the vandal IP using your acknowledged IP address with an edit summary that they were evading a block. Each of the subsequent reverts by Anonymous44 has the edit summary, "I am neither blocked nor evading a block." Does that mean Anonymous44 is also editing under an IP? So ... we have your IP reverting his IP, while both of you have non-IP user pages. Is that correct? — Maile (talk) 01:06, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
    Yes, that is correct. It's pretty obvious that the original IP was the BFK LTA because their edits tripped the custom abuse filter that was set up to catch them. I find it absurd that this Anonymous44 user who has been editing highly infrequently for over a decade will suddenly start reinstating the edits and questioning me on my talk page. Pillowfluffyhead (talk) 01:15, 2 September 2017 (UTC) (I got alerted right when I was getting out of the shower because of this ping - I will be asleep within 15 minutes and therefore won't reply further.)
    OK, well, I'm going to leave this to another admin who knows more about dual accounts than I do. User accounts that sometimes edit under an IP because of one circumstance or another, is maybe understandable. But I don't understand this enough to grasp why two user accounts regularly edit under their IP accounts instead, while still logged in under their user names. Or why it's allowed. — Maile (talk) 01:26, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
    That's not BKFIP. The filter will occasionally throw false positives. I've never seen him use an account before. Kuru (talk) 03:09, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
