Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

I can somewhat see why they'd regard the Ass Pull example as bashing though that's no reason to completely remove it. Also they just copy-pasted the same edit reason all over even when it doesn't make sense. I can see that some of them were too elaborate but they didn't rewrite them and they just became ZCEs.
Edit: Well, I'm basically restating your point. For Fairy Tail the most edits were removing all mentions of Ass Pulls. However, statements like
He seems to use "pointless bashing" for a shorthand of anything he doesn't personally agree with and not just things that could be constructed as criticism.
For example he considered this entry from EDENS ZERO to be "pointless bashing":
- Characterization Marches On: Pino acts very serious and matter-of-fact when first introduced in the Norma arc, which is a far cry from subsequent arcs where she becomes more cheerful and inquisitive.
I fail to see how that's remotely bashing the character.
Edited by HvedekornNow he's been bounced,
but if time on this site has taught me anything, it's that editors with an agenda don't let go of the bone they are picking just because of one ban. Gonna keep an eye out for any possible sockpuppets.
If there are sockpuppets in the future, there's also the ban evader thread
and its sandbox.
Looking over his comments, how is calling it "Power of Friendship The Manga" bashing?
It seemed like he took any reference to The Power of Friendship and Fanservice as a negative point to the series. I can sort of get this, as these can be used in a negative light depending on its use, but it seemed like all of the mentions he cut were in no way negative.
Reminder not to turn this thread into popcorning. The user's been banned, and if they evade, maybe we can make new threads for that.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

A troper by the name of Zero Hunter
seems to have a Single-Issue Wonk when it comes to the series Fairy Tail. They appear to be going on to random pages and deleting examples that they believe are "bashing" the series.
I'm sure this would be fine, but I feel a problem arrises when their edit reason only consist of the phrase "Getting rid of pointless bashing." and nothing else, leaving no actual reason as to how these examples are bashing the series. Some examples include this edit
for Ms. Fanservice (which also turned two examples into Zero-Context Examples), outright deleting several tropes
from the series' YMMV page (which have since been restored), and editing other tropers
predictions on the series' WMG page (which, as far as I'm aware, isn't against the rules, but is considered extremely rude), among many other edits.
Basically, I feel this troper may be a problem and should probably be discussed.
Edit: After looking through their edit history a bit more, I've also noticed that Zero seems to do the same with EDENS ZERO (a manga by the same author of Fairy Tail), as seen with their edits
to one of the series' character pages.
Also, while I've tried to avoid being rude in this post, after looking through their edits, I feel at this point I should say this: It seems that Zero's definition of "bashing" is actually "anything I perceive as slightly negative to these series" (even when the trope itself isn't negative in nature).
