User talk:InterestingPerson

Based on the pattern and content of edits made by User:InterestingPerson and the particular fetishistic bent of his writing, it is believed by at least one average Troper, at least one Moderator, and at least one Miraheze Steward that the edits made by User:InterestingPerson either are or might be evidence of ban evasion on the part of User:Xandermartin98.

As such, I am placing an indefinite block on the account of User:InterestingPerson, as per All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here.

The user is free to appeal this decision to any other moderator (although I would not suggest appealing the decision to the moderator who brought this issue to my attention).

This user has admitted to being Xandermartin98. This has been referred to the Miraheze Stewards to determine whether the user is in violation of Miraheze's global user accounts policy.

EDIT: As for your statement that we did not listen to you, I refer you to the thread "Welcome to ATT and thank you for your contributions!" on this very page, where we invited you to speak to us. You failed to do so. When someone refuses to say anything to us, what is there for us to listen to?

As the user who sussed you out from your additions, I will voluntarily out myself to add the the following:

No, you are not what this site needs, because you are a self-important and self-promoting nuisance who refuses to accept that they are not wanted around here for well-established reasons.

The mere fact that you blame us for the actively-made choice of ban evasion, and then make the claim of having done nothing wrong while in blatant violation of a policy that is made clear on even the most basic of wikis and farms, shows alone that you have not learned anything or changed in the slightest.

That you insist upon yourself by using this form of roundabout-self-flagellation as spotlight-seeking only affirms that I was right to suspect you, and that your presence here will not be missed.

I love how his delusional justification boils down to "Well, if you would just leave your doors open so I could come in and vandalize your house at my leisure, I wouldn't need to smash in the windows. It's your own damn fault for protecting your property from me."

However, there were a few issues with your first few edits that you should be aware of.

First, and most importantly is a small matter of copyright violation. In the midst of all your new video game entries on Nausea Fuel there was one -- for Mother 3 -- which was a word-for-word copy from TV Tropes' Video Games/Nausea Fuel page. It has been deleted to protect the wiki from legal liability. As an apparently new user you should be aware that ATT and TVT have two different and incompatible Creative Commons licenses, and thus content cannot be shared between them legally. We strongly recommend that you read our Copyrights policy, specifically section 4. Please be aware that repeated copyright violations are grounds for a temporary ban, if not a permanent ban.

Now on to lesser issues:

For some reason several of your contributions were liberally strewn with "nowiki" markup -- on Nausea Fuel there was the Cowboy Bebop example and the "Buttville" subexample for Earthworm Jim, your Crash Bandicoot example on Narcissist, and the trope you added to the TV Tropes page. I'm not sure why you had such an excessive amount of such a rare markup, but I've cleaned them up, and I suggest you keep an eye out on what you're doing; the only way to accidentally insert these is hit one of the boilerplate buttons, and if that's what happened you've got a problem with carelessness.

Next, I've deleted the trope you added to the TV Tropes page on the grounds that it is borderline libelous, once again to protect the wiki from legal repercussions. It is one thing to describe the actions of TVT's admins and allow the reader to come to their own conclusion whether they are Jerkasses or not (and quite legal to do so); it is another to defame them in print.

That's all for right now. If you plan on continuing to edit as you have, we suggest you read the following pages, which you may find helpful and informative:

• New User Introduction
• So You're a TV Tropes Refugee
• Style Guide

Finally we strongly recommend that you read How We Do Bans Around Here. This isn't a threat -- this is the wiki policy strictly controlling how and when user bans can be applied by an Admin. We want you to be aware that unlike TVT, we do not ban users on whims or because we're cranky -- and that you know what we do ban people for, and what it takes, so you can avoid future problems.

If you could please reply to this message so we know we've reached you. Thanks.

-- Looney Toons, admin
