I've placed a delete notice on this page and the associated image file (which I suspect to be unattributed or traced), but so far no action seems to have occured yet.
The character's name is also not authentically Japanese at all, but I digress.On a more lighthearted note: as flames are given the literality treatment and used as a weapon in TOS, what if spam (here or wiki) are turned into literal cans of SPAM and used as an item in the PPC-verse?

Just caught some more all by myself! The perp going by Kahran042 was a repeat offender and they've now been blocked indefinitely.
I admit the latest "contribution" (now reverted) made me laugh, though. Who says juvenile insults can't be funny?

Well, I also did a short internet search on this troll—and I managed to find his real name, so... yeah, not gonna share that.
However this gives me an idea—perhaps, on the TV Tropes review page or somewhere we can have a link to the Board for an “ask us more questions, we’ll try to address your concerns” sort of thing? That way maybe some of them, if they actually care to ask us, can and will?

We do have links to the Wiki and the Board from our TVT page. by

They don't stand out much, though. The Board link is labelled "HQ." It might be good to call a bit more attention to both, with additional distinction between discussion of the setting and discussion of the community. Does TVT allow section headers?

Yeah, that would be a good idea. by

I’ll see if I can figure out how to do that.
I also would like to add something to the reviews page, along the lines of “ask us questions here”.
Oh, and the TOS link is old.
—Ls has not used his TV tropes account much yet

Does the reviews page support that, though? by

It looks like the reviews page is for, well, reviews. I don't know if it has a "sticky post" function—and even if it does, I'm not sure posting on the review page to say "this isn't actually a review, it's a link to our community forum," is a good look. We don't want to come off like we're demanding that people talk to us before they're entitled to an opinion, you know?

Well, perhaps I’ll post a review of my own, with a link. by

Do you think it’s a good idea to message the troll from earlier, asking him to not vandalize our wiki? Or would that just cause more drama?

No, don't message the troll. by

I disagree about the 'sus' bit--it's kinda impossible to review the PPC as an outside observer--most people who like it end up joining. Though I should definitely note that in my review.

I've found a couple of good articles – they are about a (thankfully defunct) "watchdog" group that policed Goodreads reviewers through cruel means, but I find them especially applicable to fanfiction readers and reviewers as well. I've even cited a few choice quotes into the third FAQ page on the wiki.

It’s really funny, if we can figure out how exactly it works and where it comes from.
And, uh, wasn’t there a spam-reporting thread a few threads down? Maybe you could’ve put this there?
