RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXII
So, are we wanting to preserve our edit histories?

Where's the evidence? Flow doesn't allow undeletes (at least, not in any way I know about).

And the breakneck speed between somebody who has no edit history on the wiki asking somebody else be banned, and the banning itself, is reminiscent of Fast Eddie.

I can't force GethN7 to follow the rules that we've agreed upon, but I can do something about the other part of this. I am now calling for a vote:
In that it now is actively getting in the way of our administrative procedures, stop using Flow immediately.

You can calm down Rob.

And you can stop trying to deflect the issue, Geth.

I'm not going to discuss Flow, or any other software that Miraheze is planning on removing. There's no point.

Given their past history, I decided to act promptly, which included deleting their spam in order to deprive them of any attention, a stance we have taken before.

Finally, the edits were all the same nonsensical vandalism by the aforementioned problem child, whom we had to ban multiple times for malicious vandalism. I acted quickly to deny them the benefit of their actions and to avoid clogging up the wiki with their childish spam.

If you hadn't undeleted the posts, we would only have had your word for that.

Tempbanning the user was acceptable. Removing the evidence was not.

Did you not start All The Tropes because you didn't like the way that Fast Eddie did things? Yet here you are, doing things the way that Fast Eddie did things -- from all that we can see from the outside.

We do make a point of doing that, in order to remain compliant with how somebody read the CC licence we use.

Rob, the last time this guy showed up and tried his crap, I did exactly the same thing -- I banned him and blanked his nonsense. No one objected then.
