Piermark (also known as House of Yahweh or HoY) first registered an account on it.wiki in 2006 and in more recent years (starting around 2022) has engaged in disruptive and large-scale spamming and POV-pushing, predominantly on articles related to religion, radio stations, and Israel-Palestine relations.

This user's usernames will usually be very lengthy and related to Christianity, television stations, radio stations, or communism in some way. Many of them have also been in all capital letters, for example:

This user also creates sockpuppets mimicking other LTAs (such as

WP:LTA/KAGE), like this

. Lengthy Chinese, Spanish, and Italian usernames making references to cults are common for this LTA as well.

Piermark also sometimes posts

legal threats to the talk pages of users who revert or block him (example

). And also tries to pretend to be you by creating a username similiar to your username or copying parts of your username, this is done in an act of revenge against you.

Cross wiki vandalism is also common, especially on Bulgarian, Hebrew, Italian, Polish, Slovene and Spanish Wikipedia. Socks should be reported to SRG to prevent cross wiki abuse.

Targeted articles

Articles related to House of Yahweh, Christianity, religion, TV and/or radio stations are often frequent targets for this LTA, where they often engage in repeated spamming of external links.

RfC for global ban

In May 2023, a global ban against Piermark was enacted after a discussion on Meta-Wiki.
