For reference, the person doing that is called banditpoeyahoocom

EDIT: No edit history visible for that handle. Also, I wonder if we are allowed to delete that sort of obviously-bad stuff.

Seen the mods clean up discussion pages before, so it seemed like a fair thing to report to me.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Yes. I wondered if actually deleting such obviously-bad stuff is a staff-only activity or is permitted to other tropers as well.

I don't believe we have the tools to delete it. Just edit and blank it, which the mods treat in much the same way as page-blanking.

Don't delete it yourself; leave it for mods. Obvious troll is obvious. Banninated.
