Well, there's one other problem that I spotted on the history page for the YMMV tab: LogicMeister readded a Designated Hero example 24 hours after it was removed by another troper. He reworded it, but it still means the same thing.

I think that's Edit War.

Edit: FYI, he has not edited since early in the morning of the 1st.

Diegoshi does not appear to be a sock of Logic Meister, but I've suspended the latter for edit warring and grammar issues regardless.

Looks like we still have an Edit War going on the YMMV page.

One of the users on the page after the suspension is named Aiden Carter. Might want to double-check to see if that's Logic Meister ban evading just to be safe.

Checked, and there's IP overlap with a user that isn't Logic Meister. Geolocation check may be needed to see if they are indeed different users.

Edit: Geolocation negative, please message Aiden.

Sent a standard PM to Aiden Carter that includes an invite to this thread and telling him he was essentially edit warring.

I think I should message the other user, Mega J. Comments?

Probably a good idea. Get everyone on the same page.

Yo.

I deleted Logic Meister's edits on YMMV after he was suspended, Aiden Carter added them back. After some thought, I just went ahead and added most of them back with edits as they were audience reactions, it was just that they were misrepresenting a scene in order to fit their bias.

I Think Designated Hero is pushing it. Atleast the part of her using MIT tech to build her suit since there are plenty of Heroes who have done something similar.

Designated Hero is definitely pushing it, but decided to err on the side of caution for that one and readded it with edits.

There is a huge contention in the comics world about the so-called SJW-ization of comics and I'm pretty against that anti-SJW view but I suppose it is a valid audience reaction which is why I readied those tropes despite Logic Meister using those sources.

On second look, I'm going to remove Designated Hero, as it falls within Square Peg Round Trope after I reread the issues in question. I won't make a move until i get a response
