There's no IP overlap between Bornof Self and dognation83. I've done a mod revert on the band's page and the Nu Metal page; if the edits get reverted again, further action will be taken.
Might need another look at their edits on music genres. They seem to be removing examples as "non-notable" when There Is No Such Thing as Notability:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Main.PunkRap
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Main.RapMetal
^ I've reverted those edits as well, although some more recent edits were lost in the process.
So now they're edit warring. Wonderful.
I know there is no IP overlap but dognation83 aggressive edit style is eeriely similar to Bornof Self.
Well, as of right now, there's no correlation, as per Willbyr. All we can do for now is wait for the mods to come.
Mudvayne has some influences from prog metal, math rock, and/or what is now called "djent" that you can hear in their music, but their overall sound hews much closer to nu-metal than any of the above. Using weird time changes and rhythm patterns isn't enough to break completely free of that genre.
The idea of "progressive nu-metal" is pretty hilarious, though, for someone whose formative experiences with nu-metal was fuckin' Limp Bizkit. :P
They're suspended and their last edit is reverted.
Permission to revert their Nu Metal edit?

Go for it.
For the last five years or so, on and off there has been an ongoing issue with NuMetal being part of the Mudvayne page. It has been removed a couple of times usually by the same troper BornnofSelf ban evading. They have used various handles to do this, and when they have been found out usually tropers simply revert the changes, generally it has been accepted that Mudvayne are Numetal. Established via various sources including

https://www.revolvermag.com/music/11-most-iconic-looks-nu-metal-stars
The general consensus has been that the band is Numetal. ' Once again Numetal has been removed from the band page this time by relatively new troper https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/dognation83
. On both the Mudvayne page and the Numetal page with the reasoning Mudvayne is clearly prog-metal with no links to estabilsh this. I am seeking consensus to revert as this has been an ongoing argument I thought resolved with them being established as Numetal.
