Personally I would prefer not to ban them until we have a better process for dealing with vandalism and stopping malicious contributors- if we ban them they will probably register with a new user-name. I am watching Liam123 at present, but am not watching all new users in the South East! I would like to have an ability to take an RSS feed for contributions in an area listing contributors with then ability to hide information from users who I have classed as 'trusted'. This would require me to be able to set a user's status to 'trusted' when I am happy that their edits are constructive. I may continue to monitor newbies who might need help and also potential trouble-makers.
