All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIV

[GethN7]

It's rare I do this, but I'm going to have to be blunt on something.

I absolutely do not want to punish legitimate users like Rob is proposing here:

https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Topic:V91pddmvgrz9sl1u

There is a good reason: We will just be giving in to terrorism and hurting legit users, but it won't stop them from trying to start trouble, and they will try to recreate pages and harass people if we cut them off.

I refer to this:

https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/User:Valkerone

See the sockpuppet watch list, several of these (Lady Satsuki in particular) have been a blight on multiple wikis, we are just the latest in a long line, and trying to stop them by using the nuclear option just uses a cannon to swat a fly and hurts honest users for no good reason.

I'm of the opinion we should, under a very proscribed and limited basis, restore Doc to their mod position, but with some very strict limitations, if only because they were honestly keeping this problem fairly well contained prior.
