Hi Sannse. I want to talk to you about a user called Movielover1994. He seems to have a problem with understanding highlighted threads. To get rid of them, he removes the thread rather than unfollowing it or marking it as read. Every time, he gives "Nope!" as a reason.

He's had a history with it on the DC wiki, doing it at least 5 times. He first did it way back in 2012; again in December 2013, twice in February 2014. We've blocked him several times. However, 4 days ago, he did it on Community Central too, twice. The name and message rang a bell, so I dropped him a line. Like our posts on DC, no reply. Since he resurfaced again on DC today, I decided to ask you for advice.

I'm guessing he's a lurker and reader, not an editor. He's only had article comments and top 10 lists on w:c:movies. Googling his username with site:wikia.com gave me one result showing he did the same thing on Disney Wiki. Removing a thread isn't counted as (or logged) in the contributions, so there's no telling if he's been doing this on other wikis as well.

As visible, blocking him is no use. For one, as he's not an editor, he isn't affected by it, and second, he doesn't learn from it. Is there any way you can reach out to him and explain to him how threads and message walls work, and ask him to stop removing them?
