    I NAME YOU "TROPER TALES' GUARDIAN"

    MAY YOU BURN IN HELL.


    Okay.

    Ah well, so you wouldn't mind me fixing it while you're all indifferent
    and shit, would ya?

    If you are fixing stuff, I have no reason to complain. Actually, it would probably be a good idea if I clean up some stuff myself.

    But regarding Troper Tales... Well, I don't like this. I don't like this at all. More and more "no" counts come in and less and less "yes" counts. And Madrugada seems to be bent on keeping it for some reason.

    I have a bad feeling about this. A very bad one...

    So. While it would be inaccurate to say that the mods want to keep Troper Tales around, it is accurate to say that the second-highest ranking staff member does. And she takes a more involved role in how the wiki and forums are run than Fast Eddie.

    Interesting.

    Not good. But she only had an objection and it was specifically that Nornagest didn't addres the entries posted under the new format.

    As nornagest is planning on just doing that, well...let's just hope for the best there.

    It's 2.69:1 right now. Take that what you will.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    So...thoughts?
  • NyarlyNyarly

    Anything below 3:1 is a bad sign. But maybe I'm just pessimistic.

    The problem with such voting things is that it allows anybody to vote. Even complete imbeciles, who aren't receptive for anything that even just resembles reason, which is pretty much TT's main userbase.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    Wait, there's a problem with the vote? Aren't the Yes votes exceeding the No votes?

    It needs 2:1 to take, furthermore, it also need for the ratio to stabilize.

    The ratio of yes's to no's have been on a steady decline as of late. Right now, it's more than enough to pass, but I am still worried.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    When does voting close? Also, am I the only one who thinks there should be an automated system that only allows you to vote once you post?
  • vandrovandro

    Hell no. If only those who post vote, it would run dry, because many people will have arguments too similar to be posted so many times repeatedly.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    I just think a lot of the No votes are coming from people who just don't want their comfort zone taken.

    Just a random question with no actual reason, just simple curiosity:

    Is it bad that, if someone says that they like TT, my opinion about that person lowers?
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    You're most certainly not the only one.

    ^^ Depends on why they like it. If they genuinely think it contributes anything meaningful to TVTropes, then I wouldn't find a lowered opinion of them to be unacceptable. If they just laugh at all the inept, creepy nerds with nowhere else to go, I don't see the problem.

    @Nyarly: If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, my opinion of him has always been low. 

    Especially because double ban evasion is uncool and just plain not getting the message.
  • Engrish_IvyEngrish_Ivy

    Argh why did my holler about that guy's ban evasion go unanswered? :(
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    Then why is he allowed back?

    I'll be frank, I have no idea who you are talking about.

    Yeah, he's a double-ban-evader?

    I'll give you a hint:

    He's a very bitter man, who puts some...raw effort into his posts and displays great amounts of power. He's incredibly hot headed.

    ETA: Admittedly, this is one of those "It's obvious it's him" deals rather than a 100% sure deal, so...um...yeah

    I still don't know who it is, but I have an idea. Although I don't think I encountered him before he got banned.

    I noticed that the votes are moving in the 2:1 area for quite a while. While it didn't go over 3:1 again, it never dropped below 2:1 so far. That may be a good sign...

    Meh, let's be blunt here. If it's bad for me to do so, any mod can thump me anyway.

    Good guy Greg = Raw Power = Ardiente.

    It's pretty obvious who we are referring to even if you know nothing about him other than that he has just admitted he likes TT, a question you put forth.

    You ruined it, Juan. Oh well, at least I can now mention his name from here on.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    It was either that or allowing a hurricane of puns coming down upon us.

    Nobody would want that happening.

    Oh, so I did encounter him before. Well, he never did a lasting impression on me, so I didn't recognize him. At least, I guessed right.

    Actually, I had a vague idea before, since Ivy mentioned in the thread on TV Tropes that he shouldn't be there.

    You really don't go onto OTC, huh?

    Lucky you.

    Wait, he's Raw Power? That I did not expect.
