Hi, I'm quite pleased to see the problems being caused by Liam123 being mediated in a sensible way.
I just feel that if they are mindless edits, and he has two email accounts (one personal, one for signing up to stuff) then he may not be getting the messages we send him. Is it possible to publish the IP addresses he is making the edits from? Then we may have a chance of tracking him down. This sounds incredibly intrusive, but we may have people on the ground who may be able to contact him personally, somehow?!?, and make sure our message gets across. Even possibly banning his known IP address for a period of time? This does seem heavy handed but may save us endless work reverting his edits. I suggest if he continues to become even more bothersome, could we add in some kind of message prompt to Potlatch? As that is what he is using to edit, and is perhaps a more direct way of contacting him? This poses the question, for serious offenders rather than contact via messaging, putting a flag on their account that brings up a different page on login. Rather than preseting him with his user account or Potlatch just have a static message "You've done bad. Contact the Admins", but a bit more verbose.
