I'd post this in bugs and suggestions, might not do much good here.
 
I'm wondering if his username could be considered spam though.

I don't care, otherwise I'd have rolled it back, but excuse me foe being curious about peoples motivations and the human condition in general. I must have missed the Lounge rule about that...

Probably. I, for one, don't think members should be able to edit other members' work.
