r/guitarcirclejerk brigading[edit]

Heads up, this page is being brigaded by the subreddit r/guitarcirclejerk, which is why the page is being vandalized with stuff like "Bonermaster" and "TOAN&FEEL" (both common memes on the sub). Supernintendo64 (talk) 15:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bobbysue097[edit]

@Bobbysue097, you currently seem to be engaged in a edit war about material that is improbably sourced. I recombed you self-revert, as your over The three-revert rule, and then discuss why you think it should be retained. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 19:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bobbysue ignored his warning and added it back anyway. Then when someone else took it down another person put it back up. I took it down again. The edit was posted on r/guitarcirclejerk and the tone of the information was sarcastic so I feel the edit was made in bad faith. Supernintendo64 (talk) 20:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a quick note, Both accounts have now been blocked for sockpuppetry, so we're unlikely to here anything more from them. However, if anybody else feels compelled to re-add please discuss it here first. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 20:25, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
