There are a boatload of stories about people trying to sign up (although why they'd subject themselves to TV Tropes' level of torture, I have no idea) and their accounts were denied for no apparent reason.
Lol, have you browsed Ask The Tropers lately? We should make them PAY for what they've done!
I clicked this thinking it would be someone obsessing over Renamon or Angewomon instead some of them are actually saying "obsessing over a 10 year old in a bikini who turns into a furry is creepy as fuck". Didn't expect that from TV Tropes
When you're repulsed by all forms of sex and profanity, you'll eventually be right 10 percent of the time.
I'm super late replying to this, but i would actually love to see a troper pull this off since I'm sure screaming in someone's face is considered verbal assault.
Well, they've been banning people for it...At least the ones who were reported via ATT.
True, but they'll suspend you for "serial tweaking" or replacing one synonym for another, because it makes it "harder to browse" edit histories. Heads I win, tails you lose.
Well, I can tell you from experience that's not true. The mods at ATT pounce on plagiarism within minutes. So mightymewton can eat a bag of dicks.
Farther proof that they can't do their research, considering that Wikipedia discussion is six years old.
Eh, I won't hold criticism against you. You can make fun of it for shits and giggles, riff on it, I don't care. Can't say I wouldn't deserve it.
In other news, you can't be bothered to read the giant message, that's on the first page of the edit banned thread.
Ok, what the fuck?
Pretty much. Though my focus has been more on trying to figure out how to reverse the ban than the message so that one's on me.
That confused me too. How the hell is it the other person's fault if one guy's the offender?
For making more work for the mod team.
Lazy bastards. If they don't want to moderate then why the flying fuck are they moderators? Moderation takes a lot more effort to maintain and balance; people have to do the job of keeping others in check while not abusing their power and coming off like a power-mad asshole. You don't do enough of the former, you get people vandalizing everything and turning your website into a hollowed-out corpse. You do too much of the latter, people will start to hate you and - if the administration is smart enough - will run the risk of getting canned because of their behavior.
Take it easy, dude. There's only eight of them and they have thousands of pages to curate, and a fully functional forum!
Wishful thinking. Fighteer is never going to get fired because he's the oldest on the staff (since August 2010 and the days of Eddie), and he does communicate with the admins from time to time. People hate him for sure, but the chance of him getting canned is virtually nil, especially since the admins (who are the only ones who can do something) are sitting on their asses and doing nothing.
