There's no cleanup, no.

My only guess is that maybe they do consider them misuse; the description is pretty narrowly focused.

Since I got no replies, I tried checking Lelec's edit history, and I discovered two things:

  1. Their last edit was made three days ago, so they might have not replied because of inactivity, and...
  2. It's not just The Brute, apparently. A lot of their recent edits are essentially a big mass deletion of entries. I tried checking Blob Monster and Hostile Animatronic, and here, the deleted entries seemed to have less context than desired, but even then, that's strictly against the site's rules (hiding zces so that the right person can expand them).

Oo oo ah ah

At least from looking at The Brute and Hostile Animatronics, these were all examples Lelec themselves added in the past.

They're still on a mass deletion spree, so suspending them.

They did the same thing on Dragons Are Demonic, but I already reverted those.

Should the other deletions be reverted as well? As in, they weren't misuse or anything?

Oo oo ah ah
