Habitual behavior

Vote (X) for Change has a long history with Jc3s5h (talk · contribs). She routinely edit wars with Jc3s5h especially in calendar articles. Aside from edit warring with Jc3s5h and more recently with JoeSperrazza (talk · contribs), she will frequently post nonsensical reports and arguments to ANI or AN. For example, she has frequently used this discussion at Zzuuzz's talk page to claim that the ban on them has been lifted despite being told the way to be unblocked. Example posts include this and this (for both links, see the thread titled "The background"). She will also edit war with multiple users. A more extreme example can be see here and here.

She will routinely post nonsensical reports about anyone who block them or revert her edits. For example, when Clpo13 reverted Vote (X) for Change's edit, Vote (X) for Change then makes this post making statements such as "While he did get blocked by DMacks in 2010" and "HighInBC hit the nail on the head in 2014 when he indeffed him with talk page access revoked". Clpo13's block log or Future Perfect at Sunset's block log indicates no such events occurring.

In particular, she likes to post reports or statements allegedly claiming that X has committed some abuse or violation. Most frequently she makes posts about the following admins: Elockid (talk · contribs), Favonian (talk · contribs), Future Perfect at Sunrise (talk · contribs), NeilN (talk · contribs), SpacemanSpiff (talk · contribs). For example this report claimed that Dweller has just had to revert a post by Elockid to his user talk page. and When politely asked by StuRat to stop he spun him a cock. More examples of trolling can be seen by the fact that StuRat made no such statements and Dweller blanked the discussion per this request. Another example includes this edit summary from here claiming that there was a violation in an Arbcom ruling despite the fact that the policy, specifically the banning policy was being enforced.

For Reference desks, she will reinstate removed comments made by IPs used by her. For example, 188.220.208.229 reinstated their contributions from the other IPs they edited from. The comments from previously used IP addresses, 80.44.165.173 (talk · contribs) and 86.147.209.43 (talk · contribs), were added again by 188.220.208.229 (talk · contribs).

She will request for discussions that took place in which it was established that the IPs she was editing from are really in fact her. See edit summaries here and here. Occasionally, she will edit outside of Greater London or infer that another editor and not her is making those posts.

Do not engage in their discussions. Do not feed the trolls. Simply Revert, block, ignore. Do not unblock even to participate in any discussion. In more active times, semi-protect the affected page(s).
