Vandialism can be solved by banning the account, if the user makes another account and vandalises on that they can have an IP ban. It could be like a sort of 3 strikes system, providing the amount of text that they remove.

A team of staff (new catagory of staff members.) Could patrol the page history for suspicious activity. When members of the community create a catagory on the page it will display at the side, the member in suspition could be checked to find the origin of the edited article and be proved as a vandal or not. Vandals could have restricted access on their accounts, removing the "edit page" or any related permission. Vandals don't exactly add any content to the wiki anyway. Unless, they are using a main account. Which is quite stupid to be honest.

If that is too complicated, and too man heavy; every edit could be scanned for its authenticity. Similar to how Wikipedia operates. This would let users free edit the page, but only approved if it is not an act of vandialism.

Oh, and I apolagize in advance if the grammar or spelling isn't on point. I do not have an active spell checker in my browser. a long-ass time ago, there was a vandal on the canon wiki, who was an anon. this anon would always get banned upon vandalizing a page. but this anon used proxies, which means they can basically evade every single fucking IP ban tossed their way.

this anon was the reason anons were turned off here before the vandal could arrive, which ultimately benefited this wiki in the long run, i believe. the canon wiki soon followed suit.

assuming whoever vandalizes the mods page is actually one person using proxies and socks to evade IP bans, IP bans prolly arent gonna work.

but of course, i wouldnt know about this issue very much; i dont keep track of who vandalizes the page and to what extent, and i dont feel like checking the page history to find out right now.
