Is there any way you could do this? Often, a user who had a change reverted by the bot also performed many other vandalizations. If the bot could check through the user's edits, it would help clear out vandalism even faster.

==Re: LOL==

Well, I did unblock myself, which I guess is ok in this situation. It is pretty funny, and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does that either. Strange things can happen while trying to keep up with all the vandalism. Am I the only one who feels like there is more vandalism than usual today? And I am reverting only the edits of the users that AntiVandalBot catches. ] 22:43, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

==How to get a regular vandal blocked==
I am writing about user 82.94.28.98 who has had repeated warnings about vandalism. Recently (s)he has been very busy vandalizing the article on "coolies". I don't know how to contact an administrator to deal with this person. Would you please help me with this problem? Many thanks, ] 22:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

==Monitor pages==
Hey Tawker, remember how on your RfA you responded to my comments almost instantly, then told me you have a bot monitoring that page? Do you still happen to have a copy of that bot? Cheers. +] <sup>(])</sup> 04:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
