All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXX

There’s also a pending edit to The Unfettered that includes a change to the description. Content wise I don’t have a problem with it, but it was suspiciously similar to the TV tropes wording. I’m not sure if that’s just my own paranoia though.

Considering this is a problem child we are dealing with, I say we regard everything with an Eye of Sauron and put the onus on them to prove otherwise.

Agreed. I'm already assuming based on past behaviour that he's a troll. Give this one zero benefit of the doubt.

Interestingly, one of their recent edits was on a piece of (What I hope is) fiction about an online troll bringing people to suicide. That’s not evidence of being a troll in and of itself, I wouldn’t advocate any administrative action solely on media analysis or consumption of something like that within the rules, but it’s something to consider alongside other factors.

You are correct - a single event is not enough to call somebody a troll. I'm basing my opinion on longstanding pattern of behaviour.

However, copying recent changes to TV Tropes is definitely against our rules. Since we told him that "Any further violation of the rules - any rules - will result in a tempban", and I for one do not make empty threats, he's now on a two-week holiday from editing the wiki.
