Yeah, I remember them, having been the person who reported them on those past occasions.

Since they're banned for editing with an agenda, and you have good evidence that their edits were problematic, I think you can go ahead and change or remove them.

Yeah, go ahead and cut anything by them. Statistically speaking, they're probably a garbage edit.

To link to edits older than the most recent 15, add "&more=t" before the "#" in the URL. It might be a good idea to do that for recent edits too, in case some reads your post after the edit gets pushed off the most recent 15.

^ Thanks a lot, that makes sense. There's been a bug report before, would be cool if the &more=t could be included by default.

^^ & ^^^ Looks like, besides correcting some spelling mistakes they took a level in natter. I began a clean up. So far I removed the Turkish-German example as well as a long list of other edits.

I also deleted a porn example that seemed to fit the trope but didn't include the title of the work or the creator.

I haven't rewritten the Thatcher example yet but I made some changes to a couple others of their edits.

I don't know how to handle these edits at the moment: [1] [2].

Maybe someone who speaks Japanese can help out with these edits: [3] [4]looked it up in a dictionary and the word can apparently be used both literally and metaphorically which should be added in the first case. As for the second edit, it should probably reworded.

This example is incomprehensible and needs to be rewritten.

There are also so many more edits to screen but I can't take it any more.

FWIW, they claimed on Edit Banned once that their username is actually a reference to a book. That doesn't excuse everything else, but yeah.

^ Well, even then I found a couple other problematic posts that luckily got cleaned up already. Take a look at [1]. While it's ok to criticize the feminist movement, the way they do it is not.

They were bounced a few years ago after flaming out in an ATT query about them. I'm not sure why their troper page wasn't cut, since that's standard for banned tropers.

Edit: Link to query.

Someone still has to remember. I/moderators can't do it with the same tool as creating the ban/bounce, so I/we need reminding. I've processed the request now.
