"HAIL RED LEADER"
- Red Leader
Red Leader engaged in vandalism on multiple pages since October 2022. Red Leader's vandalism, which continued for months, resulted in conflicts with other users, especially XGR (formerly Caca1234).
The Beginning of Red Leader
Caca1234, the owner of /news, recalled seeing Red Leader before October 9th, 2022, but Red Leader didn't vandalize pages in large numbers back then.
However, the earliest written account of Red Leader is from an article at /news. On October 9th, 2022, /news reported an incident of vandalism, stating that 146.70.103.101 vandalized many pages with "HAIL RED LEADER" and an ASCII art of the letter M.

▲ Pages vandalized by Red Leader on October 9th, 2022, according to /news
/news initially referred to Red Leader by his IP address. On October 10th, /news adopted the nickname "'M' griefer". In November, /news started using the name "Red Leader". Red Leader called himself both "M" and "Red Leader".

▲ Red Leader's ASCII art, spammed on several pages
On October 10th, after two attacks by Red Leader, /news published a second article about the "HAIL RED LEADER" spam. A third attack affected the main page and /news. On October 11th, Red Leader vandalized /news.
Throughout this period, Caca1234 was probably the only person who restored pages that Red Leader vandalized.
Creation of /stopredleader
On November 12, 2022, Caca1234 created /stopredleader, a page against Red Leader, calling the "newest threat on Edit the Text". Caca1234 also used a script to detect pages vandalized by Red Leader. Caca1234 also vandalized /redleader and /hailredleader, two pages belonging to Red Leader. The conflict escalated on the following day, when Red Leader publicly called to Caca1234 as a "fool." Caca1234 then asked Red Leader not to be a "terrorist." Red Leader's response was that he was not afraid of Caca1234's scripts.
