Hey PirateIzzy, thanks very much for reverting the vandalismm and blocking the offending IPs. One thing to note (and don't worry, everybody makes this mistake at first) is that we try not to block IP addresses indefinitely. You never know if that IP address will be assigned to someone else who might make good edits. We do indefinitely block users who sign up solely for the purpose of spamming or vandalizing the site, so if the offender actually bothered to create an account, by all means, block them forever. For IPs, just choose some period of time that you think is fitting. By the time the block goes away, they usually stop bothering to try.
