    Tropers...

    need to learn to meet people with compromise, we get it, you love Mario the character, you love the reference, you love that feeling of a sort of wiki-

    But please, just listen to us, we want people to see the wiki, we want people to join us...

    I guess this could use some support too. Really, even The Mario was better than... that.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    that thread is stupid

    STUPID

    The bra sizes thread is giving me headaches right about now.

    Where did this support for the Bra Sizes come from?

    Why is the crowner getting this much time?

    Why do people insist being terminally creepy isn't enough to keep something cutlisted?
  • GLORIOUSLeaderGLORIOUSLeader

    Because:

    I'm really trying to be nice about this, but I'm seriously starting to feel that there's a major undercurrent of prudishness in this thread. You all do realize that we have an entire index of Porn Tropes, right? And those are valid, because they're tropes used in a particular type of work. Even if cup size ONLY came up in porn (it doesn't), it would still be a valid page.
    Since, as everybody knows, wanting to cutlist a page that unnervingly documents the bra sizes of 12-year olds is tantamount to being culture police.

    Actually, I think that being "terminally creepy" is not a reason to get something cutlisted. For once, "creepy" is purely subjective and a poor argument. Things that many find creepy easily falls into "questionable" though, which is the case here. But that alone isn't a good reason to cut something, either. If that were the case, I'd put Violence Really Is The Answer on the cutlist immediately.

    However, a page being terminally point- and useless is a great reason to get cut. The problem is that many in that thread fail to see that it's exactly that.

    The crowner for the libby should NOT look like that in terms of votes

    I wonder if I can rally some people I know to make accounts and vote?

    I agree with Nyarly, actually. I just believe that SFW is something the wiki should aim for as well. 

    I mean, someone put it better than me over there, and it is the fact that this thing only happens in a few works, at most. It's more of a trivia deal, rather than a trend deal.

    ^^An account has to be a week old to vote.

    If you want to get new people to join in general, though, that would be good.

    ^ Wouldn't a better measure against sock puppets involve checking IPs?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Only one person can do that, and it'd be tiring and time wasting of him to do it constantly.
  • IcalasariIcalasari

    No way to program it so that there is only one vote per IP?

    Nope. Which is why it boggles me as to why we just don't use email accounts.

    In general, I think that it is a good idea to try to avoid having a big stake in any decision in TRS. Otherwise, I feel like unnecessary drama and harshness tend to be created as people fiercely debate things that are personal for them. I definitely believe that arguing your point is fine, especially if you have strong evidence, but from what I seen, back and forth debates rarely tend to actually solve anything, let alone shift crowners much.

    I also think that getting too invested in a decision can help add to the "culture" problems that some have suggested are a major issue with TRS. Still, there is always the possibility that my experiences are not representative of the subforum as whole so you should take what I say here with a grain of salt.

    Sorry if this is a bit off topic, I just felt like it might have been worth saying given some of the heated discussions associated with some of the Trope Repair Shop threads mentioned here and in the other thread (the "quitting TV Tropes" one).

    The Bra Sizes article crowner has closed. The article is gone for good, but a Useful Notes page on clothing sizes in general will be made. Hopefully, that will be far less creepy.

    ^I think it got broadened to clothing as a whole, which is even less creepy.
  • NyarlyNyarly

    But it's still just as pointless.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Well, yeah. But at least it's a pointlessness I can ignore.
  • GLORIOUSLeaderGLORIOUSLeader

    I wanted it to be about the fashion industry, which actually could be useful, since I knew some sort of page would be made.

    I fully agree with this.

    It's not as pointless as "WHAT KINDA BRA DOES MAH WAIFU WEAR?", so I can deal with it. 
  • RaddRadd
    It's less creepy, but way more pointless. Who the hell has misconceptions about clothing sizes?

    Well, to be fair, I'm sure they do.

    And TVTropes does not, nor has it ever, acknowledged autistics.

    Thread about overall renaming policy. Quite important.
