Their edit on My Hero, Zero is natter.

Revert the image on Stupid Crooks. Discussions and IP threads are mandatory for image changes.

Unilateral changes to descriptions are usually frowned upon since, this being a wiki, no one person should be making such important changes. For Copy Protection at least, Nutgunner seems to have added to the description because an example they wanted to add didn't quite qualify for the other "methods."

These changes should be reverted and taken to discussion. If this user continues, a tap might be necessary.

That's Foxtrope ban evading. Bounced both accounts. Please revert their changes.

Is i4wpuw6sh8 the same person? Making weird description changes and that gibberish username makes me certain it is someone evading.

Not unless they live a dual life on both sides of the U.S. But that account is already suspended from TLP and may be a sock of another account.

Noting that unilateral changes to trope descriptions, including to make an example fit, are frowned on. Best case scenario is they cause confusion, and worst is the trope becomes meaningless. There's a Trope Description Improvement thread for lower-level changes and TRS for big ones.

Lock, or keep open in case of future ban evasion by Nut/Fox?

Would an IP check be in order? Not for comparing Nutgunner, but comparing i4wpuw6sh8 to any other banned accounts.

Matches IP with 10-13-2, who was banned for misplaced examples. Never responded to us in EB.

10-13-2 had several IP matches with 2 other accounts, as well. We may have a sock situation if behaviors match.

This will need further investigation.

There was a troper named 10-13-2?
