I recently blocked a user from the Tropes Mirror Wiki for not only violating our wiki policy on plagiarism (especially of CC BY NC SA content to a CC BY SA wiki), but due to serious concern they would not be willing to abide by the rules at a later date, especially since they have a confirmed history of having inciting mischief at another, non Wikia wiki. (TV Tropes)

The thread with the relevant information is here.

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:604330

However, it seems the same user has set up another wiki that will apparently be based on mine, which I don't have a problem with, but they have mentioned on their front page their willingness to circumvent copyright law, and in the interest of preventing a copyright problem (they do not seem to understand the reasons for why we cannot use TV Tropes current day content (as explained on our front page's "Copyright" section)

http://tropes.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

The spinoff wiki is here:

http://tropes2.wikia.com/wiki/The_Other_Tropes_Wiki

I hope I am not causing this user any problems (this is nothing personal), but they do not seem to comprehend Creative Commons copyright and why I (and Wikia) take it seriously, and I request that you (or another staff member) explain to them why they should not violate the copyright of another website, if only to spare all parties concerned unnecessary trouble.

P.S. - Why I am usually loathe to take Encyclopedia Dramatica seriously, if you look at the ED page for "Nate Spidgewood", you'll will get a very good idea why I am so concerned about this user, and my own investigation of the information presented on the ED page has confirmed most of its contents to be accurate, and it is more reason why I feel it is urgent this user be told by Wikia staff what is permissible on Wikia.

Also, on an unrelated note, I am very pleased with the layout changes on Wikia. I also run a non Wikia version of the Tropes Mirror Wiki (also mentioned in the copyright section of the TMW front page), but I have no intention of abandoning it and have made sure that content between the two CC BY SA wikis remains as compatible as possible with Wikia, though any further advice you have in that area, if need be, would be appreciated.

Also, I wanted to wish you some very happy holidays. :)
