Looking at several recent edits, there's two others that are about MLP that might be shoehorned in.

  • This one states that the creator of Hazbin Hotel had to have gotten inspiration from MLP for a song. Just being a song doesn't make it a ref or inspiration; a lot of animated shows have songs.
  • This one refers to Emily Blunt playing a unicorn before in MLP. I haven't seen either movie, but it doesn't seem intentional (or it wasn't expanded to say how being a unicorn in If is a reference to the MLP role as one).

I focus on obscure 1990s or graphic Middle Grade Literature novels and dolls. (She or zie, not they.)

Last I saw, she was already suspended after the IP thread for Food Fight was closed.

ETA: Voting to revert the Hazbin Hotel and the IF edits. Both definitely seem like a stretch.

If she continues with that, she will get another suspension or worse

She doesn't appear to be suspended, as posts were made here was after that thread closure.

Erm, so is this train of misuse just going to be discussed further on the ^ ATT thread?

They're still at it, 6th low effort MLP Image Pickin' thread, 5th in 24 hours. This is after they posted the image on that ATT thread reporting them and being told it still wasn't good, continuing to actively ignore feedback.

They've done a few unilateral changes to Littlest Pet Shop ones too:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Main.EverybodyCries&page=8#edit38565049

Also they changed a page quote to an MLP one here:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Main.AttackOfTheTownFestival&page=7#edit40234072

Then deleted it altogether here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Main.AttackOfTheTownFestival&page=7#edit40234115

I have actually wondered if they might be quite young because some of the wording they've used when they've made unilateral caption changes have been a bit awkward too.

What should we do then ?

Nothing really, await until mods see this report, holler forum posts if necessary

It seems to be a problematic issue for the user in question but it is better to wait what the mod say.

Their suspension's been adjusted; they should now be unable to start IP threads.

ETA: added in a query suspension to stop them using ATT as a backdoor to IP.

Should the shoehorned edits be removed?

I already removed some myself. If I missed any, go ahead and take care of them. You can cite this thread if needed.
