I have been following. Their arguments on both discussion and the RWBY thread have not helped their image at all, especially since they several times made personal remarks towards others.

I would like to add that the tropes he is trying to add are Anti-Villain and Well-Intentioned Extremist for Cinder Fall, both of which, to my knowledge are not allowed to be added via site policy since Cinder has been voted as a Complete Monster. On the RWBY forum it is pretty much unanimous that the trope doesn't apply but he is not listening.

Agenda-based editing, perhaps?

The policy has also been explained to Soarel, who has said in the forums that they won't listen because Wiki policy is "nonsense" and consensus doesn't matter when compared to "objective fact" (their poorly-supported interpretation).

Does anyone actually read these?

Soarel's actions are in pretty obvious violation of policy regarding the CM Trope. I've been part of the Clean-Up for years and have tried explaining to him/her that CM is mutually exclusive with Antivillain and Well-Intentioned Extremist. They've insisted they don't have to follow site policy and that "the majority" cannot tell them what to do.

Between the vow to keep edit warring and the various insults directed at other tropers, it seems Soarel isn't interested in following site policy or playing well with others. A glance at their edit history shows a lot of it seems to be about RWBY in general and Cinder in particular, so we've got a fan trying to enforce their vision of the series onto the rest of us—and projecting to boot, given their insistence we must all be fans of other characters to dislike Cinder so much.
