Those edits, on top of being bashing, are also very natter-y. Yes, even the headscratchers one is natter.

There should be a check to see if this is a ban evader or not.

For what it's worth, looking at last ATT thread concerning ~The Castaway Pariah, their wonk seemed focused primarily on the episode "Magic Duel".

Yeah, I'm not sure this is a ban evasion case more than it is just someone with an MLP hate boner, but they're making a mess of things regardless.

To be fair, they do have a bit of a point in regards to the examples they've deleted. The edit reasons are way ruder than necessary, and that piece of natter on the Headscratchers page is borderline vandalism, but these were some awful examples that probably deserved to go anyway. Seriously, Spoiled Rich wants Scootaloo to die? Only geniuses know about the concept of reciprocity? And that was a meta example on the Awesome page, which we don't want (though, the bit about Fluttershy overcoming her shyness and being assertive enough to refuse Rarity's offer could have been kept, it just needed to have its indentation fixed).

Sure, but unilaterally like that? They could've taken it to any of our cleanup threads (the Headscratchers one, the Complaining one, ATT itself, etc).

I removed the Headscratchers examples as Natter and violation of no 1st person. What do we do with the rest?

Has the troper been PM'd over this?

^^^ I really think we need an MLP:FIM short-term cleanup. If nobody else wants to make it, I'll make it myself.

EDIT: And then I did it.

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Not sure if this is important, but the same troper added Jay Jay the Jet Plane to Western Animation.

Jay Jay is a preschool show ffs. Sure, the designs are creepy as hell, but it's nothing something I would consider the worst of the worst and it's bland at worst at the end of the day.

That warrants a suspension. Please clean up their mess.

I've removed all the stuff we've gone over and any other issues I found.

I actually agree with some of their edits. The Genius Bonus they removed does feel like shoehorning.

I’d agree to, but the way they went about it warranted we take a step back until the changes could be discussed. Here are my thoughts:

This got lost in all the cleanup talk, but what about the possibility of them being The Castaway Pariah ban evading as OP brought up?

I'm inclined against, personally, since this seems different than Pariahs' Single-Issue Wonk.

Their I Ps both geolocate to Britain, but not to the exact same location...it's suspicious but I don't think it's enough to be conclusive.

Looks like we're good here then. Requesting a lock.

The wonker in question has been booted out of the door, so this thread shall be locked.
