Mattisse Returns Options

[Ottava]

Mattisse returned as MathewTownsend. This user was teaming up with Jack Merridew's and Rlevse's socks to push for all sorts of weird changes at FAC, attack FAC regulars, etc.

I find this interesting - these were three users who attempted to use the FA process and content to get ahead. They were also corrupt users who relied on socks, plagiarized, and committed other problems. After they were eventually disposed of for abuse, they came back on new names to try and destroy the original system they tried to game.

The other site doesn't ever focus on such issues - they don't care about these fundamental problems and how the mentality of these users is quite prevalent.

Eric Barbour said: "No, Jeff, we prefer not to discuss this kind of socking, because we are trying to focus on Wikipedia's real, deeply-ingrained, systemic problems."

I find that laughable. WR and the rest got their start primarily focusing on the socking and faking of credentials, and the falsification of identity is the most fundamental problem that affects Wikipedia.

Mattisse was not a good person, and put forth many false claims in multiple pages merely to disrupt. She also trashed a lot of medical articles merely to spite SandyGeorgia. She is a prominent vandal when she wants to cause as much harm to someone, and she loves to use a lot of socks to accomplish that feat.

Her article contributions are rather poor, and her GA reviews were quite shoddy. She did very little to check sources, and passed on people who were obviously plagiarizing. That other site cannot ever contain legitimate critiques of Wikipedia because they obviously don't care about any issues besides making fun of Fae's sexuality or mocking Jimbo's children.

Jack Merridew and Rlevse both operated socks for the same intent to destroy as much as possible, put forth vandalism, attack people who attempt to fix problems and attack any systems that would seek to address these problems. They are the worst kind of vandal. Perhaps Eric just wants to hasten the day.
