We've tried attacking the problem, but the only way to do that was by banning each alt this person made, and that only prompted him to make more alts... and we know how that turned out. Like I said, Ken got overzealous, and each time this guy made another alt, he'd just flood the chat again if someone got him going... which didn't take much. And, again, Devil was having a crisis about this whole thing and was about to leave altogether (he even blanked his profile page)...

With the removal of adminships, it took away the ability to ban this guy, which would only provoke him further—getting mad/annoyed and lashing out against him was exactly what he wanted. I questioned the effectiveness/point of removing ALL adminships, but the more time went on, the more I realized that this was the most effective course of action; NO ONE having the power to do anything made it all too apparent the scope of the issue, and the impact that non-action, that not reacting to this guy's trolling, had. And as for the disabling of the chat... the guy was still coming in and spamming the chat. Devil was still getting mad/upset and blaming himself for all this, and nothing productive could get done in chat at all. With this even a possibility at all, disabling the chat was the best stopgap measure to cut off all possible methods of attack for this troll until a permanent solution, be that his giving up or my making a new wiki entirely (for GER) when the game comes out (as I detailed earlier), can be reached.
