I only know 2 people who can do that: me and an old vandal who got absolutely terminated Woah. Was that vandal the first user/anon who got banned permanently from the wiki? Well since he could do that we don't know if we managed to block him or if he just gave up but I'm pretty sure he's gone for good. Range block is dangerous but it works better than regular ban How severe or critical were his vandals that caused permanent ban/range block to him? He hacked my account, he made a couple of other accounts and trolled everyone, he turned everyone against each other, he tried to destroy this wiki by making it so bad that the staff would have to shut it down and since he changed his ip all the time none of the admins could block him some people wanted to ignore him and others wanted to wreck him of course the staff didn't do crap so we agreed that we had to range block him so he would stop. After we did that we never saw him again so we assumed it work but it might have blocked other innocent people in the process but it had to be done. After that we never had such a critical problem. I never expected that person to do such devastating things in the wiki even to go as far as to hacking your account. Man, I don't even think the word "Vandal" is appropriate in describing him especiallg with the things that you have mentioned
