In peer review, it's snowing with entries from a certain new user.
That users own PS suggests that they have been removed from other sites. What would h2g2 do to stop this snow?

In the short term nothing. To me it looks like a member of the LD/yoome community has found the 'submit for review' button without taking time to see what it all means. It happens from time to time, we get used to it

They also seem to think that the response to critism in Peer Review is to hang an abusive remark on a good guide entry written by the reviewer.

Where abouts has he done that?
Depending upon what is said, and the length of the thread, it might be possible to make it go away permanently.

How unfortunate.
Though to me it looks like Felonious Monk is on top of the situation

That's fine.
Things have moved on a bit since this youngster's first appearance. He has now got 8 entries in PR, none of which are any good, or if truth be told make any sense at all. He's not listening to the advice of his peers amd there is a definite sense of people losing their patience with his antics.
I don't believe that he should suffer any great sanction - other than having the junk he's left in PR removed, obviously - as he's not doing anything malicious. It is more of an annoyance than anything else.

I'm don't know what you mean by comment 2. Is there a thread where you think you've done something wrong? If so, can you post it and I'll have a look.

I think that this is a misunderstanding on the part of this new researcher as to how editing works on site. Not helped much by Cyzaki saying "can you change the title so it isn't all in CAPS" in the the first version of the PR thread - F1690811?thread=347304 - so they've changed it by deleting it and resubmitting it to PR 
What you said in response to her deleting the second entry seems fine to me. I hope that the researcher will see it and realise that no malice was intended on anyone's part.

They deleted every entry, but stayed on-line for a long time (about 45 minutes) changing their PS. Did not respond to messages from me or A.N Other. Looks like gone away in a huff. That's what worried me, because I seem to have caused it.

No you didn't cause this at all. She has misinterpreted what you said and has had a bit of a prima donna moment. It's unfortunate, but as I said before it's not your fault. So don't dwell on it
