Since this isn't the first time he's been tempbanned, I propose that he remain On Notice once the tempban ends, and that he be clearly made aware of that fact that another violation of any of the wiki's core policies will result in a permanent ban.
No more chances. No more letting him game the system. (Whether he knows that's what hes doing or not, it is what he's doing.) He's had two strikes already -- three strikes and he's out.
As much as I hate to toss out someone who can be productive, I am forced to agree. There are many works we cover I despise, many of which I have deeply partisan opinions on. Regardless, the rules we commonly agreed to require me to stick to facts only when disparaging their flaws, and for the common benefit of fostering harmony in the community, I am also required to be civil in registering my distaste. Ad hominem and naked seething spite for the real people behind the works in question is not useful or conducive to this goal. And even if the repugnance of the IRL artists is directly responsible for the poor quality, that is no excuse to stoop to their alleged level in order to criticize their work.
We have given this user more chances than TV Tropes would to moderate their tone in line with the same level of courtesy and keeping their feelings in check, and I agree the time has come to let them know they are on their very last chance.
