I'm guessing this is the same user, as each source is listed as "watched it" and that source only.
This user adds maturity ratings to new anime without any source, and says he/she has watched it even though it has not yet debuted. Example: animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/error-report.php?code=AI-2152684604 In addition, the source for his/her plot summaries are also watched it... When in fact, these summaries are exactly (or almost exactly) directly copied from ANN articles (some of these summaries I've written myself for articles). Example: animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/error-report.php?code=AI-1079336863 Can we please do something about this? I'm really sick of putting dozens of error reports all around the site. |

(Sigh)
That user is a pain in the butt. He had pissed me off once in a very personal way; he's already on my "watch list" and will be banned if he causes ONE more trouble. However, the "mild" rating of Haikyu!!, while without an authoritative backing, is probably correct. The rating can be quite subjective, and if someone submits the exact same thing after broadcasting starts then we can hardly argue it. I've taken it down, but as a typical shonen tournament manga adaptation the "mild" rating is likely to be just right. One last thing: How come you'd suspect such behavior came from an editor?

Sorry, I didn't know how to word it. I meant "a user that edits the encyclopedia." Also, the reason I don't think a rating should be given before something airs is because it could completely change as an adaptation, in theory... In theory, Haikyu could suddenly have lots of bloody injuries as a result of an anime adaptation. Anyway. Just a thought. |

Oh, him. I have mentally sighed more than once when his name comes up on a submission.

Does that user speak English as a second language? Unless this is all a big coincidence, I think I probably had an exchange with the same user on an error report. A plot summary on something I was submitting info on was full of grammar errors so I put in an error report and on a subsequent visit I noticed that the summary was changed. I looked at the error reports, saw he had put in a justification something along the lines of "I fixed it, please remove your error." So I did, but I couldn't help but notice that he had ripped it verbatim from an ANN article that announced the title, but at least he used the article as a source. Anyway, it was better than before so I just let it go.
tl;dr: I think I may have been an ancillary character in his origin story. |
