I was looking at the encyclopedia page for Demon King Daimao and it looks like someone spammed the theme section. There are 19 themes entered there. Many do not even remotely apply to the show, but 2 of them (harem and fanservice) are correct. I don't know if it's possible, but if it can be done I think the theme section should be cleared so it can be filled correctly from scratch.

Also, Im guessing this is because of the spamming that was done, new info for genres is being rejected. Undoubtably it falls into the categories of Fantasy, Comedy, Romance, and Drama. Possibly also Science Fiction but that is debatable since their technology is magic-based. Hope we can get the page straightened out.

I've send a warning PM to the use who submitted 17 themes simultaneously. S/he has 48 hours to remove unnecessary ones or I'll remove everything s/he had submitted.

I unhid the genres Fantasy, Comedy, and Romance, which had been concealed when another user had been banned. Tris8, you can added the Drama genre yourself. Also, does it fit the Action genre?

Action Hrmmm..... Nah, I'd say it fits Adventure more. There is fighting, explosions and some gun slingers, but it has more quests, monster-fighting, and exploration stuff. I'll add the Drama genre. thanks.

I unhid Action, but because it is being audited, I can't edit it.

FYI, when trying to re-enter a genre/theme something that has been hidden previously you should be given an option to take part in an audit.

So it looks like the user who put in all those unnecessary themes isn't going to remove them, so they should probably be taken down. None apply except fanservice and harem, but I think the fanservice theme should be removed too because it is submitted as "Fan-Service". Once it gets removed, I'll add it spelled the common way so it will apply for the theme search.

The user has never opened his/her inbox for a month, and I don't think sh/e's coming back. All submissions removed.

For the record, it was submitted by someone else, not the aforementioned spammer. I've taken it down and you can resubmit one without hyphen.
