Occasionally someone vandalizes something once and then stops after a few edits, like it happens on every wiki. The vandals there are now are different then the vandals there were a few months ago, and the new vandals most likely aren't IP switchers since that post is from a long, long time ago. The reason there are more than usual at the moment is because of the same reason there are more regular users than usual at the moment (StevenBomb).

I'm not trying to say vandals shouldn't be banned, just that they shouldn't be banned infinite. They're just trying to be funny and just one stupid joke is by far not enough for an infinite ban. Two weeks or one month is more appropriate. Most of them only do one edit and then stop immediately afterwards. Is that really enough for an infinite ban?

Also even if there are still multiple IP-abusing vandals, your logic is flawed there. You want to ban them infinitely so that you "don't have to worry about anymore attacks coming from that IP address", while they are "abusing multiple IPs". I don't think that's gonna work, because you know, they're using multiple IPs. The bad vandals are exactly the persons you don't hurt by banning infinite, while you are giving the vandals that are just joking a too big punishment. Why did you get demoted from Support Admin? Not the time nor place. This thread is for reporting vandals only. Oh sorry my bad.
