We have well-known trolls and repeat vandals who have been coming back
to the various wiki communities for many years - in some cases, for
nearly a decade now. Why is it "concerning" to you that the people
responsible for detecting, tracking and defeating these individuals
keep track of these users and their work over time (whilst of course
always being within the Privacy and CheckUser policies)?
