Folllowup:

I gave some thought to what you said:

I checked with ComSup, as deleting threads are typically not something we do once a conversation is over. They tell me they would like for me to leave old conversation threads in place, as it gives them a full and complete picture when it comes to community issues.

That is not completely accurate, off the top of my head I can think of three reason why a thread or a part of a thread can be removed.

1) Imminent Threat

2) Intimidating and Harassing Behavior

3) Use of Racist, Sexist or Homophobic Remarks.

The user has threaten a former staff member and myself :

Please note, he files under the IP user heading 190.83.176.205, 190.213.48.59. or 190.213.37.138. Moreover, that IP address changes on demand at the whim of the ISP (Columbus Communications Trinidad Limited), and he is the only contributor from that part of the world, who has expressed views about being anonymous and takes exception to government surveillance.

Anyway, with respect to this  prior bad act, he was prompted to register by Sennea he said:

http://the-strain.wikia.com/wiki/Ozryel:

"Some wish to remain anonymous, even though they may know their identity would change when their DNS address changes and they lose continuity of IP identity...."

or

"Look, being anonymous has nothing to do with safety, else I wouldn't be mentioning having an IP identity. But while we're on the topic, it takes little to end up on an NSA list from a simple combination of the wrong wording .. just like this one. I'm not naive, but I choose to be anonymous because I don't really associate with fan wikis.

@Senna, knock it off and do not pressure me."

and in response she said:

"@ A Wikia Contributor - I said it didn't apply to you if you don't edit regularly, so knock off the defensive BS like my comments about this revolve around you personally and learn the difference between pressure and curiosity."

She eventually left as seen in this thread: http://the-strain.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:4131. Also note, she did not feel comfortable to ban him, because she felt it was an "abuse of power". As much as I hate to cast aspersions on another user, because he was not banned "the problem was dropped on my lap"

He did the same thing to me: http://the-strain.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:Nemo2012/@comment-190.213.37.138-20151004200937/@comment-190.213.37.138-20151006160239?oldid=8712

He has acted in an contemptuous and abusive manner: http://the-strain.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:5794

and he even had the nerve to use profanities as seen in this thread: http://the-strain.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:4737

"...and stop invoking irrelevant bullshit about UK vs US, unless it pertains to spelling alone..."

and he told me, a staff member, not to post on his wall ( which would hamper the effective operation of the site)

When I asked him to stop such behavior, he made it about me and my alleged "abuse of power" (http://the-strain.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:4739)

This is the reason he had to be banned, because he was creating a hostile work environment which was not conducive to the safety and welfare of myself and other users. And by allowing this thread to stand, you are perpetuated this bad behavior on another forum. It is essentially a moral hazard. Also note, he was not banned out of the blue, these incidents have occurred over a span of three years. Fandom can not be a fun place, if this sort of behavior goes unchecked.

To sum up, I believe that he has engaged in a pattern and practice of bad conduct, if not escalation based on the remarks aforementioned. So either remove the thread or kick it up to Community Support and see what they say. Besides his concerns were addressed in another thread.
