Alleluia! One month and a half after the ordeal, justice has been served! I was just informed that MasterAndrew23 was forcibly retired from all this guides and banned from submitting. Apparently my unsupported accusations were proven to be true...
Thanks to those who believed in my word and helped taking this to the Powers That Be.

Yes, he's done it again. MasterAndrew23 got more guides by submitting USELESS and INCORRECT info to guides and even though I reported the incident that involved me, he somehow did it again, and apparently the Staff doesn't care, because we were trying to get this business sorted out and we were shut down!
So much for Freedom of Speech, huh?

MasterAndrew23 is trying to game the system, and he already managed to get a handful of guides with this MO. He simply waits for a certain editor to be AWOL and then submits pointless submissions in mass that are worth 8 points. Then, the editors or Staff Editors who don’t know any better accept all the submissions and the rest is history.
Just yesterday he submitted around 200 production number codes that were incorrect or that didn't even exist and episodes titles that didn’t need any changing. For example, he changed production codes like "1ACV01" to "01", or "101" to "001" and "02" to "102", and episodes titles like "'Episode Title', Part 1" to "'Episode Title' (part 1 of 3)" and so on.
As you can see, these submissions, besides being unnecessary, are INCORRECT.
EDIT: A MORE DETAILED ACCOUNT:
At November 3rd, I got a PM from missribs warning me about my Editor Queue, which had 22 submissions to Alias that needed to be handled. I answered back saying that I had been busy, but I would handle them ASAP. Then, she warned me about the reports some users were making about me being MIA, and gave me a link to the thread reporting MIA editors. In this thread, MasterAndrew23 had put up a list of all my guides as if they were up for grabs. Right after he posted the list, I started to get submissions from him in mass to Futurama, Superman, Gargoyles, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and Visionaries. Every submission concerned episodes' production numbers that were perfectly fine and posted back in the TV Tome days. To the episodes that had prod #s like "001" he would change them to "101" and vice-versa. However, to Futurama, he changed stuff like "1ACV01" to "01", which is more serious than the first instance, because the prod #s for the Futurama episodes are shown on-screen at the end of the closing credits of each episode. So, it goes without saying that these changes, besides being incorrect, were unnecessary. Also, all he put in the Comments box was "Just fixing the production number" without giving a source that proved his changes were accurate. He also changed every two and three-parter episode title by adding sidenotes like (Part 1 of 2), (Part 2 of 2) etc....
Furthermore, until that point he had NEVER contributed with a single word to any of those guides, not even in the TV Tome days, but once I became a potential To-Be-Retired-Editor, he gains a sudden interest in "correcting" my guides?! Moreover, taking into account that he was a 40-something level editor, his submissions would be looked at before any other.
So, all of this led me to believe the obvious: he was attempting to gain CP, figuring that I was about to be retired, had I not handled my submissions in time.
This is how he managed to get so many guides so quickly. He’s a lurker who is in the watch for distracted editors and gets their guides buy submitting a crazy amount of incorrect and useless info.
Is this the kind of editor you want to be in charge of your favorite shows' guides?

Some people just don't have opinions. Like TvTome_Murdok.
TvTome_Murdok must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could TvTome_Murdok possibly have for not rating a single film?
