I'd initially say undo the vandalism for a start but it looks like the blanking was done over at least two edits, so maybe a proper mod revert would be better. For now I sent an edit reason notifier, pointed them to this thread, and explained why what they did is a no-no.

^ I undid the vandalism already, but yeah, the fact that this took place over three edits means it was intentional.

The troper has only a handful of edits, all of which have some serious grammar issues as well as this page blanking.

Bumping since they deleted the page again. And for some reason, left a google link that redirects to wattpad?

I don't know what their agenda is, but looks like they have something against the page. And I'm afraid of triggering an edit war if I restore it.

I got a reply to my notifier. Said reply convinces me we're looking at a troll.

Their other edits suggest they may be someone very young, unless the PM given to sgamer82 looks otherwise.

I can't go into detail without breaking the rules. It was nothing obscene, but also nothing of value. I just responded with basically "you can't say you weren't made aware so on your head be it."

Huh. I guess we better leave the matter to the mods to settle this.

Not to pile on, but I also sent them a PM asking about the page blanking, and I can tell you from their response that it's definitely a troll.

Merely leaving this here for the mods to see.

Yeah. Mods can read PMs so they'll see what ~Riaka is doing.

They've been bounced.

For the record, I sent a notifier and received an answer that didn't say much.
