| Oct 26, 2014 at 21:55 | comment | added | user9072 | On your side question: new users cannot vote at all (needs 15 points), and for downvoting one need 125 points even see mathoverflow.net/help/privileges Furthermore, unregistered users cannot vote either (not sure they were unregistered but it is not rarely the case for such type of users). | |

| Oct 26, 2014 at 21:17 | comment | added | martin | @JoonasIlmavirta Yes, I will certainly think twice about tagging a question "Riemann Zeta Function" in future! | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 21:10 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta | If a crank wants to continue "contributing" to MO, they will probably find their way back. And if they don't, a colleague will. Although there will be a more or less constant flux of cranks, there is a good chance that they will no longer find your question when it gets old enough. If they don't, the question can be protected. I strongly believe that the junk is not targeted at you but at questions related to a famous open problem. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 20:11 | comment | added | martin | @StefanKohl OK thanks. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 20:10 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | I think this would be something to decide for the moderators or the SE staff. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 20:09 | comment | added | martin | @StefanKohl OK thanks - I wondered if something could be done on the IP front. What would you say is best to do in the meantime - just leave it if (when!) it happens again? | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 20:08 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | Presumably the same person has posted also a lot of other junk, so it doesn't seem this is targeted at you. I think this would be a case for blocking the offender's IP number(s). By the way, downvoting requires 125 points -- see mathoverflow.net/help/privileges. | |
