NotesWhat is notes.io?

Notes brand slogan

Notes - notes.io

Series of events:

1. User uses edits (some OK edits, some bad) to bump some of his questions.
- Presumably, this is to gain extra views, since many edits were demonstrably useless (poor retags).
(see #5 below for extra confirmation)
- Presumably, this was to get badge for "2500" views, since at least 3 of the questions actioned had slightly under 2500 views.
- As a side note, the volume wasn't exactly egregious (6 edits on 5 questions in may)
* 2 edits by the user 5/1/2014: http://scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/50660/revisions
++ one bounty on 4/5/2014
* 1 edit by the user: http://scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/50314/revisions
(that was actually a valid retag, whatever its intentions)
* 1 edit by the user (trivial but makes sense): http://scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/56093/revisions
* 1 edit (junk): http://scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/56062/revisions
* 1 edit (junk): http://scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/50425/revisions
* NOTE: User has tons of recently edited questions in may, but the rest seem edits by other people fixing his atrocious grammar and style.

2. On May 9, Keen locks the 3-edit post: http://scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/50660/revisions
accompanied by a comment:
@giacomocasanova Stop bumping this question just to earn a badge. – Keen? May 9 at 15:45
To re-iterate: unless I'm misreading, the post was bumped a total of 3 times in 3+ months.

3. On May 11, user posts a Meta question:
http://meta.scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/3602/is-bumping-a-questions-for-views-wrong

4. On May 11, Richard (a fairly high level user) posts a Meta reply, with 2 upvotes:
Yes, putting a bounty on your question is an excellent way to garner more attention for it.
The larger the bounty, usually the greater the level of attention it will receive.

5. In a comment to Richard's question, Keen states that the user admitted to his "View getting" motivation for edits:
" The OP posted a now-deleted comment indicating they were doing this purely for the bump in views. – Keen? May 12 at 1:26 "

6. May 14, user follows that advice and adds a bounty to this question:
http://scifi.stackexchange.com/q/56093/98

7. Moderator immediately locks that post 5/14/2014 15:22

8. User gets upset and posts this Meta question (not very polite, if you see pre-Pearson's edit version)
http://meta.scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/how-to-deal-with-a-user-who-is-harassing-you-by-block-questions

9. Based on what I have been told on chat, the user posts a bunch (I think people said 20?) comments on Keen's other questions.
I didn't see them personally, but got this in chat:
phantom42 yst 14:45 29 comments pimping his question
DVK @phantom42 - were the comments themselves offensive/abusive? Or merely "look at this wrong thing"? They got wiped by the time I got here
phantom42 yst 16:28 most of the comments were just "go look at my question"
phantom42 but at least one or two were telling keen to not lock his question, and arguing "with" keen (at, really, since keen hadnt responded)

10. Presumably for #9, user gets suspended

11. 5/15: I post a question on MSO asking is posting a bounty on a question just to get views is OK. MSO mod respons "yes"
