If it helps you can get a link directly to their edits through the time stamp.

^ That's what I tried to do with the last link, but it didn't work for some reason :/ Most of their edits though are very new and easy to find, so I didn't think it'd be as big a deal. In any case, I'll try to provide links in future reports.

Could it be because the last edit is so old it's not on the immediate history?

Anyway, thanks for providing links to everything else.

Going to revert the edits on LOL, 69 and Framing Device.

I should mention that there's some discussion starting on the Quote thread about LOL, 69. The new quote may actually be put back up (with consensus).

I shall put the stinger back on LOL, 69, then I shall revert some of the edits that the troper this thread's about made.

Little bump: I don't want this to fall behind without resolution.

The LoadingReadyLive edit is valid, at least. "The Crapshoot" was a show that LoadingReadyRun used to stream on their Twitch channel, but it ended a while ago, so it shouldn't be listed on their current lineup.

Then it should be in a "Discontinued Shows" folder, not entirely deleted. It existed, it can be troped, even if it's no longer ongoing.

^ Alright, I added it back in a folder, and also put the current shows in their own folder.

^ My main issue with that specific deletion was the lack of an edit reason. I thought this may have been the case, but they didn't exactly make it obvious.

Bump? Can something be done about this? I sent the notifier for edit reasons (and while their most recent edit still lacks a reason I can hold out faith other ones might), but isn't the arbitrary deletion and changing of things dating back to 2016 something they should be tapped about?

Notifiers are handy before we actually formally suspend, as it creates a record. It also serves a purpose of intervention, to see if the behavior in question will be self-corrected.

Yes, sometimes we do suspend without notifiers, but not as a rule. Personally, I prefer seeing if a notifier or PM does the trick before swinging away.

This is fair, but will a notifier about edit reasons really help the issue of arbitrary deletions?
