I'm concerned a user is engaged in a significant campaign of potential vandalism

Hello, I'm concerned a user is engaged in a significant campaign of potential vandalism against certain Yucatan Mexico family trees. The user in question is unable to modify this individual's information (https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/family/K848-P3N) and has resumed, after a significant interval, to methodically dismantle information pertaining to the ancestors of said individual without giving rhyme or reason for their dismantling of top graded individual pages. Here's an example which I had to correct: (https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/family/G2R7-MTG) Thanks for offering your attention to this matter.

    @LudovicMarsillach Have you used the option to Report Abuse on the individual profile(s)? While the bar to be considered abuse by FamilySearch staff is quite high, that's the best path.

    I noticed if you click on the image of the person who made the change you might be able to start a conversation with them through chat or find out how they may be related to that person.

    I also have that occuring on my branches. The person merges with no information deleting everything. I am excited to see if stops with the new merge update. If not I will report her. I did notice she is using a dead persons email and its an email that is now being carried by another carrier it is so old the original platform is gone. So with mine it is obviously suspicious. I did make a relative request and fixed the pages to let her know there is someone watching. I am hoping that will be deterrant enough, I also posted on my FB about it because I do notice people do search for me there when they see me on thier branches. I let her know I do know her name and her posted resume of where she works. I do not know about where you are but here you search an email and you can get thier phone number, email and closest relatives. With my situation my family branches she was destroying happened to belong to her ex husband. In all my messages I have kept her name confidential so far but if it continues I will blast her to our cousins. No one just randomely finds a person on a tree with over million names. They know someone to get there. I tell everyone this is not your tree. This tree is paid for from service by people who believe in God. This tree belongs to God. He is sharing his love of his children with us as he wants us to do with each other,

    As mentioned above, if you think they are doing something to cause trouble with the work you have done, you can report abuse. It is located on the right side of the person's page

    When you open it you get a screen where you can report the abuse you believe is happening. Are you sure it is not someone who believes they are correcting the issue?

    If it is possible, these are just errors or differences of opinion, you can contact the person making the change as described above by @jamiehadlock

    @BrookMickellGibsonXZ6714077 Your family History is too valuable to wait and see! It is better to stop it than to wait and have your cousins losing their work!
