Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-2038026-20201025083147

I am absolutely APPALLED by the behavior of some of the forum people here on the General Discussion board. Today, I had a 100% legitimate problem with a Wikia from trolls grafitting a Wikia site I help admin and I came here to the discussion forum tonight to talk about it & to warn other admins of a new "technique" some trolls have come up with to prevent admins from undoing their graffiti edits.

The response came from only 1 person, only a few minutes after I posted my complaint/request for help -- a nasty comment from a completely anonymous user "Parkour2906" (whose profile reads like a snarky letter telling people to eff off) accusing me of "the only purpose of this post is to scare people with exaggerated and one-sided claims." And then less than 5 miutes later, the user "Mendes2" comes along and deletes my thread with the comment that it was "Unconstructive" and somehow shuts down my permissions to upload images here to prevent me from screencapping what they did and showing it to the public forum as proof.

1. Who are these people to shut down a conversation about a LEGITIMATE issue here on Wikia anyway? I don't see ADMIN of Wikia or the forums listed ANYWHERE next to their profile aliases. How did they get the ability to delete forum threads if they aren't admins/sysops of the forums?

2. From the quick reaction both users had to my original post about trollish behavior around this site, I have to conclude that it's possible "Parkour2906" and "Mendes2" ARE part of the troll problem around here. Why else shut down a perfectly legitimate thread discussing a real problem with the site otherwise? There's no logical or rational reason for it. And really, "Parkour2906's" profile on Wikia is a nasty piece of work, which makes it clear he/she are not here for legitimate purposes.

3. Expanding upon #2, I believe the two accounts are the same person -- which would mean they are breaking Wikia's Terms of Service agreement. My suspicion derives from the fact that "Parkour" is a type of Brazillian training exercise, and "Mendes2" is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil according to his profile, AND when you look up the edits in the code, they come from the same localized IP address. Not coincidence.

Conclusion: this site's open source allowance is now being utilized to abuse the forums/community section as well as the Wikia fandom pages to control the narratives on this site. With the trolls monitoring forums/community posts and deleting them at random because they can, they can't be countered, thus they control this place. I'm taking this issue up the chain to Fandom corporate, because I believe the problem on this site has now reached proportions of abuse that are unacceptable and against the company's mandate to create an open environment, by fans and for fans.

Note: I have screencapped my previous post, as well as the actions of "Parkour2906"/"Mendes2" (and the code showing their IP Address), and I have screencapped this post in case of deletion again. All of it will be going into my report to Fandom corporate.
