I'm actually pretty sure most of his unrelated comments are attempts to lay the ground for complaining about that character being listed.

From what I've seen yes. However we've had several discussions about the ones he disagrees with and agreed on topics only for him to keep arguing after the fact. It's happening more or less every few pages.

How exactly are we handling whether or not a character counts as a Scrappy? Seems like all someone has to do is claim "most fans hate this character". I think that's what Snakey-Man has been trying to say, although his grammar is pretty bad. I'd suggest sending him to the Getting Help with English thread.

The issue is that we'ver already discussed the character with him before and he refuses to stop hounding us about it. He's not presenting evidence and he's being a pain more then a asset.

I hollered the topic itself. But yeah, this is infuriating.

Yeah, whether the thread could use clearer guidelines or not (personally I'd love to lose The Scrappy entirely) is beside the point in this case. This is textbook Single-Issue Wonk behavior.

His behavior had been addressed and he does seem to have a fixation on this topic in particular. Personally I don't have an issue with having a fixation on a particular topic if it's good (man that bit in Game of Thrones was awesome, I need to add it, oh several already have, let's expand on it and cross wick it and put it up here and there) but even were it a positive thing he needs more guidance on how to do it than has been given.

His behavior had hardly been addressed. We're clearly not getting through to him, which is why we're asking for Mod intervention now. The whole grammar thing isn't really an issue we're having. It's a Single-Issue Wonk, extremely pointless arguments, and constant multi-posting for no reason(he clearly knows how to edit his posts). He's acting inappropriately in the topic.
