We’ve got a deranged person who is using proxies, fake emails etc. to bomb our site with the products of his paranoia. He’s clearly getting a lot of gratification out of being deleted for “censorship” and coming back with a new sock-puppet ID within a day or less. And he has escalated to making viol…

Can we bring this back on the topic of how to stop someone who’s actively engaging in this behavior instead of debating whether or not VPNs are worth using?
