Suggest permban this time. --Bishop (rap|con) 13:01, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * IP is probably shared, 1 month at least KittySoft 13:04, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Yep its from a school district--Draygo Korvan 13:06, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Doesn't matter too much, it usually doesn't pose any problems to block schools (experience from the danish wikipedia shows they're the worst source of trash and not productive at all). If banned users from the school can still view pages. --Bishop (rap|con) 13:17, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * In addition we can attempt to contact the school itself and file an abuse report. Many schools do have policies on this matter, and can result in the termination of the users internet privleges. --Draygo Korvan 13:20, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * The School Board has a website, if you think it will help, I'll be glad to fire an email off to them. --Chrono traveller 13:24, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I think it would be best for a guildwiki mod to do so, as to not spam the school board with messages.--Draygo Korvan 13:25, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Thats fine. Thats why I posted before I emailed just to make sure 10 people didn't send emails.  It is probably better that a mod do it. --Chrono traveller 13:28, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

I think it will soon become clear (if it hasn't already) to our new friend that he can't win against an army of dedicated wiki watchers. I oppose permanent IP-based blocks in general and for this IP in particular because it is obviously shared. A cooldown of a few days or weeks wouldn't be bad, though. Involving the school board on this is too much trouble, I think, though if he continues his rampage, it might be the best option. &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 13:29, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Like I mentioned, I have some experience from the danish wikipedia that shows leniency with school IP's only comes back to bite you in the hiney. However, it is certainly no big deal; banning is simply a tool to keep the wiki clean, not a means of punishment (meaning that if the vandalism stops, there's no need for a ban). I agree that contacting the school board is too much trouble (it will lead to nothing most places anyway, because as you mentioned, the IP is shared and the culprit not tracable). --Bishop (rap|con) 13:38, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
