I have had issues in the past with certain members starting "flame wars" and being "trolls" but I know one in particular that can be very annoying.
I will reply to this thread with the information that I am going to share because it is a bit lengthy.
Do you find this valuable?

I am staying anonymous as not to offend the person, we are personal aquaintances, but they have been making new accounts and rejoining my wiki. This would not be a problem, but I also have members who are continuously re-premoting this person so that they can write on my site. I was hoping that there is a way to prevent this person from returning over and over, because they are also sabotaging my site in the process. I have banned them multiple times and have not been successful in preventing them from accessing my site. Is there a way that I could....

1. Figure out who is promoting them so I could stop the problem at the source.

or

2. Keep them from re-entering my site under any of their accounts.

They have lately become inactive, but on every occasion, I find that they have attacked another of my pages.
