Longtime user KoshVorlon was sitebanned after Beeblebrox brought him to ANI for telling paid editors that they could post promotional materials "as an article, if there are Reliable sources to back it up." What crossed the line was one edit to Jazz Jennings to say that someone was "born" rather than "assigned at birth." Writ Keeper, Black Kite, and Davey2010 seized on this issue to join the chorus demanding a full site ban.

Scjessey, SummerPhD, and Specifico were tag teaming against an IP to include a BLP-violating line describing the Center for Immigration Studies as a hate group. NeilN blocked the IP and taunted him. 331dot and Huon upheld the block. After Netoholic reported Scjessey for edit warring, BLP violations, and clearly not trying to hold to a neutral point of view, MrX called for a boomerang and Volunteer Marek chimed in on the talk page to support Scjessey. Spartaz closed the report with no action following the advice of GoldenRing, Bishonen, and Fish_and_Karate.

Alexbrn called for "editors wanting to help in this area." Mjolnirpants accused Bus Stop of "actively defending racism on this noticeboard" for taking the position that people should wait for a problem to exist before rallying troops against it. Calthinus took credit for removing references to Richard Lynn from Wikipedia articles because he doesn't like Lynn's opinions.
