Board Thread:The Seven Seas Court/@comment-3112181-20160512184008

For the record, I'm not exactly certain whether this should go in SSC, General Discussion, Off Topic, or 1ASA. So my apologies if I picked wrongly from the 72,000 sub-forums here.

In essence, she was banned by G-man for – what he believes to be – edits not made in good faith. Perusaling through the recent activity for the day, it looks like she's been going through old random articles and correcting them for grammar/misspellings. To this, the return argument is that there are still misspellings and grammar issues on the pages she corrected, so – following our president's train of logic – clearly there's an ulterior motive. And not just trying to improve the wiki. (Because who wants to do that anymore?)

Vic herself has rejected the claim that she's making the edits simply to vote in G's demotion blog, or to gain voting rights at all. From the sounds of it, her intentions were genuine and honest, and I'm amazed that our president would jump to such conclusions without letting the perpetrator in question defend herself. In any case, the fact that she was banned for fixing grammatical mistakes is absolutely mind-blowing and testament to how low we've stooped as a site on the past few days.

Albeit, the ban was only for one day: not too drastic. But regardless, the notion is shocking and I'm interested to see how this will be defended. I'd also like to point out that a certain "senior rollback" spends 97% of his time on this site doing exactly that – scanning and correcting grammar in old articles. Just because she did not correct everything (English is not her first language) does not mean she's up to no good. I think we all need to take a deep breath here and think carefully before jumping to such radical conclusions.

Cheers
