i'll help you substantiate pt 2 some more.

We need to mention how transgender was misintepreted as spamming. Transgender actually refers to a person who has switched gender, which remains a sensitive topic today. Moreover, even if the shooter really is transgender, it was not mentioned in the game, as such it was considered repeated adding of unverifiable information(we are an encylcopiedia remember?)

That was why it was interpreted as spamming/vandalism. During the course of editing, the creator of the game did not identify himself, as such he was just another anonymous editor to us(and most vandals/spammers edit anonymously)

as for how things unfolded the way it did, I think we should let them know we are investigating(and we really should), before answering to all parties.
