"Hi,

I'm afraid there isn't any quick fix here. Vandals and trolls can make a new account quite easily, and they can easily switch IP to get around any IP block.

But the good news is that there is a longer fix. And it's exactly what you are doing. We call the method revert/block/ignore. All you need to do is revert or delete as needed to remove the problem text or images, block the user, and otherwise ignore them completely

The idea is that trolls like this are looking for a reaction. So if you don't give it to them, there is a greater chance of them moving on.

If the trolling becomes a bigger problem, there are things we can do to help.

One option is to change the settings to allow logged-in users only. Of course the troll can make accounts, but it gives an extra step to slow him down. You can do this yourself via Special:WikiFeatures

We can also ask the VSTF to watch the wiki for a while, although they tend to look at cases with very large-scale vandalism

We can also look at other tools, although none are completely effective. So for now I suggest keeping on with revert/block/ignore. You may have to do this regularly for quite a while, but if you think of it as one of your daily admin chores, cleaning up after him, then it soon becomes routine and quick. And that will keep the balance of power in your hands!
