 * I spend a lot of time trying to figure what to do with contributions from this person, who changes their IP constantly to avoid being blocked, but consistently geolocates to Sky Broadband or Easynet in London or sometimes elsewhere in the UK. Is there any way I could post links to their latest batch in an agreed-upon place for special attention? Yesterday they posted as 176.253.165.197 and 90.194.200.218.

 * Maybe ask for reverse-DNS and/or GeoIP variables in mw:Extension:AbuseFilter at . — Keφr 08:32, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The problem is that anything IP-based would encompass an entire national ISP. It's only when you combine that with the language and/or subject matter that it becomes obvious you're dealing with this individual. Chuck Entz (talk) 16:40, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Then set up a filter which checks both. If you can come up with a clever enough regular expression (of those two checking language seems easier), you are set. — Keφr 18:23, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I have no experience with regular expressions so I'm likely to do it wrong. I can see possibilities, but that would require some extensive string processing- is that really practical? Chuck Entz (talk) 18:58, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Check the IP address first; I think that check is cheaper. Regex syntax seems to be PCRE; you may ask User:CodeCat or User:Ruakh for help, whoever annoys you less. Also, there are tools available to test and debug filters. You may initially make the filter only tag edits, or keep it disabled for a while. There are many possibilities, so do not worry too much about getting it wrong. — Keφr 19:46, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a rather gratuitous swipe. Is there something specific you'd like to complain about, or are you just being generally irritable? —Ruakh TALK 01:45, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The latter. I was rather snarking at the amount of strife in this community. Though probably writing something that could be interpreted as adding to it is not very helpful. Apologies. Myself, I do not tend to be annoyed too often by either of you. — Keφr 06:13, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, O.K., understood. No worries. :-)  —Ruakh TALK 16:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
