Statement of the dispute

Description
User has a history of useless and/or irrelevant edits to talk pages (particularly on WikiProject Tropical cyclones), in violation of WP:NOT (a chat room).

This editor also has a history of ignoring warnings, as shown below in the evidence section.

Other users who endorse this summary

 * 1) I've known Alastor Moody for the whole time he's been at Wikipedia (including back when he was known as User:Mr. Parks), and I can attest this summary is correct. The majority of Alastor's edits were reverted, ignored, or responded unfavorably. Of his 13 uploaded images, only one links to an actual article, and that one doesn't even have proper copyright status. In addition, he considered comments from another user as hate mail, and generally makes inappropriate and juvenile comments on talk pages, and these are only in the last 11 days.
