Sounds egocentric to me.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

So what should I do? Should I remove his entry?

(I feel like if I do that, though, I run the risk of getting into a feud with the kid.)

Creators are not allowed to add YMMV items, including Funny Moments, to their own works. I do believe this expands to adding them to pages like this one, so I'd say removing it is in order.

Okay, I deleted the entry. If the kid raises a stink I'll let you guys know.

I sent him a message about fixing up his grammar then tried to fix up his creator page. Is it honestly worth keeping around?

I don't think so. If it's some random person who wants to use this site to advertise their works, cutlist that page.

Pretty sure this sort of thing is permaban-worthy (the Auto Erotic Troping alone is probably enough without the Entry Pimping on top of it.)

Banned the user, cut all the garbage they made. Theatre_Maven_3695, stop backseat modding.
