The second edit you linked is bad in itself; the entry was decently written and the edit just adds complaining.

I found this edit reason as well. Given their attitude, it's hard to tell whether "Kirby sucks" is meant to be a Stealth Pun of the series or straight-up bashing.

I think that one was a pun, but they did still remove context from an example.

You know, your plight reminds me of a similar case:

There was a user called Reven Helix, and they were way ruder than the other troper.

They first added a Designated Hero entry about Marinette-Dupain Cheng in the YMMV section of Miraculous Ladybug. So troper Wiry Ailuropodine took it down to discuss it.

A few days later, what did we find? The same entry but with THIS edit reason:

"Do not dare take this down, asswads."

That's right, an insult, a threat and rude behavior all rolled into one. No wonder Round Robin took it down later.

I can't believe we didn't report them for it.

^ I think you're going off topic even if this sounds similar to another troper.

In order to rerail this, I'll say that yeah, I agree that the Kirby thing might be a pun but still came off as rude and that other people won't be able to understand that it could be a pun and take it as pure bashing.

^^ The appropriate course of action would just be reporting them separately instead of starting a story in a query because "it's a similar thing".

^^^ That troper was bounced months ago for ban evasion. Please separate make a separate query if you want report a different troper instead of piggybacking on a different ATT query.

Anyways, I'll look through When Y0u R 34 L edit reasons and PM box

^^^ Actually, they were reported (and subsequently suspended). If you're suggesting that they are a ban evader, only mods can look into that.

Ok, I looked into the edit reasons When Y0u R 34 L and I didn't find anything rude enough to warrant a suspension besides the edit linked to the OP (which earned When Y0u R 34 L a rudeness notifier). I think it's fine to wait until they earn another rudeness notifier to take further action.

Seconded. BTW, sorry for the unnecessary post I added. I wanted to refer to a similar case partly to see if it matched with what was going on.

They did it again, changing a colon to a period with the edit reason of "Prolongation: robo-speech: Colon Cancer: Electric Boogaloo".

There was only one colon in the example.

If that's the case, then that sounds like rudeness to me.

I found another one too on his most recent edit.

^ To be fair, that last one is quoting the linked policy page.
