I think bcvxdvfhvgfhjhbjk and fdjnxdhghjyghkji are the same person as rhfdtgjyfgjgfhju, d40c60f5a3, and DZESYGHYYFJUHYGH , as the page history for Square One TV shows.

bcvxdvfhvgfhjhbjk and fdjnxdhghjyghkji repeatedly made the same edits to the page, changing Real Joke Name to Klutz the Surgeon, and removing the indenting from Talking Is a Free Action. When a moderator had the system revert their edit, they edited again, and started leaving threats in their edit notes (Including calling the people reverting their edits 'bloodthirsty bastards'... while making death threats).

Eventually, they stopped, only for the other three to edit the page and make the exact same changes as the other two.

They have made actual edits to other pages, and many got reverted, resulting in they repeating the process. The threats have also shown up in the notes of other edits.

At least one of their edits appears to have been in good faith, fixing a formatting error on the page for Beyond the Black Rainbow (someone forgot to hit enter between two tropes, so they appear on the same line). They still brought out the insults when it got reverted.

This is a long-term vandal who, occasionally, feels that they are "contributing" by making what otherwise appears to be substantial edits. This makes them no less of a vandal and all of their edits will be reverted and all of their accounts will be bounced.

Just letting you know, I'm going to be redoing the edit they made to Beyond the Black Rainbow, since that was an actual correction that needs to be made. Is that okay?

Please don't mistake me for them.

This is why we need to find a way to keep people like them from making new accounts, even with their usual outs...

I've reverted one of the vandals edits already. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few more done.
