The This Troper page got locked and deleted

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 13:49:26

I was expecting the former, but not the latter.

Crimson · 2011-07-30 13:50:37

Locking I can see, but deleting does not set a good precedent. Did you bring this up on the forums?

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 13:52:42

I wouldn't know where. I'm bad at navigating the upper-left side of the forums.

Vorpy · 2011-07-30 13:53:27

Looks like you all have already won.

I mean, if egoraptor can't have a page for his youtube videos,why should this troper?

MillerCross · 2011-07-30 13:53:45

Wiki Talk is the proper place.

Or Ask the Tropers.

They give the same treatment to any page that has a chance of starting a flame war or getting raided by the subjects about the article.

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 14:08:31

But can't they just lock it?

Vorpy · 2011-07-30 14:11:07

Nope.avi

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 14:11:38

They should just ban the flamewarriors. We don't need them anyway.

Vorpy · 2011-07-30 14:12:14

That's not a fair decision to make though.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-07-30 14:13:50

Same problem as the ED page. This Troper actively leads to TV Tropes getting trolled.

Vorpy · 2011-07-30 14:14:42

Except people liked ED more than they like DizDroper.

Crimson · 2011-07-30 14:15:03

It has the side-effect of proving This Troper right, and giving more fuel for people to mock Tv Tropes though.

DonZabu · 2011-07-30 14:15:22

I didn't know the page was even still up. Last time I checked, it wasn't.

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 14:16:07

I still don't know how trolls got around the lock on the ED page.

Also, I think the stupid youtubers who troll us based on This Troper will do it regardless of whether we have a vandalizable page on the series or not.

Marioguy128 · 2011-07-30 15:59:18

Hmm, this is what Fast Eddie had to say in the cutlist.

"FastEddie: no way we are advertising for this asshole"

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 16:07:16

So personal grudges that make us look petty. That's nice.

Vorpy · 2011-07-30 16:09:29

us

no

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 16:09:55

We aren't allowed to attack specific people.

MillerCross · 2011-07-30 16:12:07

Agreed. It's only Eddie who looks bad for doing so.

^It's not an attack to guess how an action might be interpreted by other forums/communities/etc

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 16:14:33

What did I JUST SAY

inkblot · 2011-07-30 16:14:51

I wonder what would happen if a published work of fiction attacked TV Tropes.

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 16:17:31

That won't happen until Instruments Of God gets published.

Vorpy · 2011-07-30 16:18:42

This Troper is like a Scout on the Blue Team. It can ruin your mission if you ignore him, but you can't let yourself derail from the rest of his team by chasing after him and trying to kill him.

DonZabu · 2011-07-30 16:18:54

When's the last time a published work of fiction attacked any web community? ~~You know, besides Fox News.~~

Vorpy · 2011-07-30 16:19:29

The Colbert Report, ED, Altus Struggled, and Chris Crutcher's fiction.

inkblot · 2011-07-30 16:20:11

The West Wing once attacked Television Without Pity, though it did not use the site's name.

Myrmidon · 2011-07-30 16:23:00

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13120607930A33936400&page=1#1

I made a thread.

It would be nice if some of the non-banned people will have my back here.

Howdy, Stranger!
