The site has been seemingly defaced yet again, by another account called RedArcher9, who joined around 9 hours ago as of the time of this post. The banner’s image of the user has been provided in the post. This is the first thing I read when I was made aware of their urgent promotion of the “new edits to the site’s history”: “ProleWiki often serves as a ‘gateway’ for Communists to be indoctrinated into chauvinistic and revisionary ideology, with the site actively promoting ‘Patriotic Socialist’ and other social-chauvinist points of view and allowing users of those persuasions into the project.”
I didn’t read the rest of their horseshit because I have other things I would rather occupy my time with than the same trend of erasing and re-writing history which the US already does at scale.
I don’t know the current policies for allowing people to become editors, but this game of cat and mouse with Wisconcom has become very tiresome. I propose a freeze on the creation or promotion of accounts to have edit permissions, and restrict such promotion to only those who have been around (for a good while) and earned the trust of the Lemmygrad netizens. This will make it a lot more expensive for them to pull this crap. In order to have an account that can edit the wiki, I also suggest that person open a People’s Court case and have everyone (minus accounts that are obviously fake accounts or suspicious based on how new they are and what they’ve been up to) come to a consensus based on the user’s credibility and history of contribution to Lemmygrad. If anyone has any thoughts to offer in good faith, I encourage you to leave feedback. I think it’s time to put a stop to this bullshit.
I’ve seen this go on for longer than I care to remember, and today happened to be the final straw. Those of you who are good faith editors work hard on the development of this critical resource, and it’s absolutely unfair and criminal for some narcissistic persistent threat (or advanced persistent threat, depending on their source of income and level of state support) to just waltz on in and start pissing on everything. You all deserve better than having to clean up the messes this type of scum makes. They’ve done nothing but cause trouble, and be a public nuisance. Naturally, an interest in taking away their toys has emerged.
