 thank you for taking care of this abuse. sad to see this is needed. but
 best choice atm.
 ''(excuse me, don't get tricked by my account name, I'm kind user. i
 created this because my comments was edited)''

 looks like cleaned offensive content cleared.
 still there are a lot of changes of comments and trac wiki pages in past
 over weeks with interval increasing.

 as the account now got disabled, i cannot log into it and revert this.
 where or how to report? there is something around 100 comments affected 5
 pages.

 shall i list them in a new ticket or here? would someone revert this
 things? wiki page hard to revert because trac detect spam (limit exceeded)
 if try to do so. comment only can revert by account of commenter and since
 account disabled, this not possible.

 i have spotted at least those following:

 comments in tickets search for "edited by cypherpunks":
 #18361
 #23840
 #24351
 #33010
 #34159
 #34173
