Greetings,

The one suspect, Timothy McGuire, age 20, of McKinleyville, CA born June 20, 1996 continues his vandalism troll spree, including things like this:

User:Robert will probably pass away June 20

So far, nothing we do seems to be able to stop this ONE troll ruining the Gerontology Wiki for everyone else. NO ONE wants to read his harassment, which includes implied death threats, bullying, anti-gay slurs, references to porn, etc.

I am not a Wikia expert and no one at the Gerontology Wiki has the technical skill or ability to police the site 24 hours a day.

We would like it if:

1. Someone from Wikia could permanently block this user across the WIkia (it's been done once for his land line but now he's using his smartphone) and all associated IP's that match the vandalism, which is happening nearly every single day for the past two years

2. Some members of the VSTF investing a little time to be on guard in shifts, so that there is someone always on guard

3. What would really work is banning all edits from new accounts until those accounts have been approved by a Bureaucrat, Admin, or at least a moderator. The current system, as set up, "assumes good faith"...but what if someone has ill intentions? There's no way, currently, to block someone until "after the fact", which is not cool. Should we have to protect every page, then the level of protection is so high that regular users won't have access.

Please help.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
