Thanks - I've now removed his User role access on the main tracker.

We'll try "no roles assigned" for now. I don't expect Anatoly to be
actively malicious about this - I still believe he's genuinely trying
to help. Unfortunately, his getting obsessed with things that are
either tedious to fix or just incredibly hard to change and then
refusing to take "no" for an answer is so incredibly draining for
other community members that it seemed necessary to send a much
stronger "please stop trying to help, as you're doing more harm than
good" message. It's a terrible thing to have to say to someone, but at
this point I'm more worried about the effect on everyone else
(including me) of his continued participation than I am about the
impact explicit exclusion will have on him :(

Regards,
Nick.
