Take away automod, definitely. In fact, I was thinking of suggesting that for now. A copyright violation, especially by someone we've trusted for several years, is a big thing, and we're going to want to keep an eye on them. Especially since it was a whole freaking page and not just a paragraph inserted somewhere.

I’m a bit late to respond, but that sounds like a reasonable step to protect the Wiki. I am interested in seeing what he has to say, but I can’t imagine much that would excuse this, short of definitive proof that he was the author, and even then he should have been more forthcoming regarding that he was importing something he wrote.

Wikis are effectively down. Including Phorge, so I can't file a trouble ticket about repeated 503s.

A half-hour later, it looks like the wikis are back.

Blakegripling ph has replied and says that the entire page on TVT is his work, and links to its revision history. Geth, if you could please do the honors to confirm, as TVT still locks up its page histories behind a membership wall? Thanks.

Very good. I'll restore the page and apologize to him. Thank you.
