- blanker. - false info. Warning, maybe? -- 18:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC) - currently has a ban however is editting his talk to leave offensive messages (including foul language) and reverts any attempt to remove foul language. Personally I recommend a perm ban since he seems not to have learned his lesson and I doubt he will. --Azaz129 18:35, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * To be honest, a permanent ban wouldn't stop him from editing his talk page. The only thing we can do about that is protect the page. -- 18:36, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Never knew that, however I'd hate to think what he could/would do once he's unbanned and throws another tantrum. that will be a long day...--Azaz129 18:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I am so tempted to perm-ban and protect the page. I at least voice my opinion to do just that, given the temper tantrums he has here.  Should we send this one up the food chain to somebody at wikia?  The reason I've suggested he may have sock puppets is due to similarity of comments by this user and some other users... including some IP users I scanned through earlier as well.  For now, just ignore him and perhaps he will go away.  I'll delete this whole entry in awhile, but leave it here for other admins to mull over.  Certainly he has burned what few bridges were left that might have permitted him back on the project.  --Robert Horning 23:16, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not the right course of action. He should be able to edit his talk page and say whatever he wants to so long as it agrees with U.s./Canadian law.  It's certainly much better to give him a page to vent his frustration on, rather than organize raids.  Just tell people to stay away from it.
 * There is no "freedom of speech" here in this case. There is no reason to assume that anybody and everybody can say what they want, however they want.  Still, I'd have to agree that if we completely kick off his only venue of venting his frustration that he would only come back as a stronger vandal.  I'm sure he's relishing the attention that he is getting right now, even.  --Robert Horning 00:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

You do have a point there right now he should simply be confined to his talk page (with a little bit of watching of course) since he currently just seems like an immature kid with too much time on his hands, the last thing we what is another total rune or buck neil, though I still don't think it would be wise allowing him to edit anything other than his talk page.--Azaz129 00:18, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
