TV Tropes' intended audience wants to read about tropes. It's a fair bet, I think, that such readers want something geared towards readability, i.e. not full of contradictions, memes that everyone will have forgotten about in a year's time, and asides regarding which children's cartoons the site's authors jack off to.

^^ Not you specifically, but I wanted to remind everyone else.

JackButler · 2011-05-02 11:26:43

Actually that entry was deleted because we, like the original TV Tropes wiki, have a policy of not importing or exporting personal flame wars.

....

Let me get this straight: Just because He and you are not the same person, metaphorically, you think he sucks and everything he does with Tvtropes is no good.

......

I I quit, I'm done
Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
It's no fair, it's no fun
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
Me zero
Big bad world one

There's work to be done, then.

and asides regarding which children's cartoons the site's authors jack off to.

There's Troper Tales to be deleted, then!

glennmagusharvey · 2011-05-02 12:05:46

Since the mirror wiki thread on the main forum has been locked, I might as well continue the conversation here.

It would be nice to see a reorganization of tropes, on tvtropes.org or on an "alternate continuity" site, distinguishing between medium and genre.

Or maybe they do that?

Myrmidon · 2011-05-02 12:08:52

Oh so WE should just DELETE EVERYTHING huh?

glennmagusharvey · 2011-05-02 12:09:51

Like, I mean, so there are some tropes that are common to animated works because they're animated. These are medium tropes.

Then there are some tropes that are only prevalent in Japanese animation; these should be investigated to determine whether they pervade all Japanese animation or are only typically found in certain genres of Japanese animation. In the latter case, they are genre tropes. In the former case, they are still genre tropes but appear in multiple genres.

JackButler · 2011-05-02 12:14:44

You'd end up with thousands of separate classifications of examples.

Khwarizmi · 2011-05-02 12:25:20

>There's work to be done, then.

I'll say.

>There's Troper Tales to be deleted, then!

You're preaching to the choir, mate.

Vorpy · 2011-05-02 12:37:37

Ugh. The amount of moronic bullshit that's allowed to go on sickens me. People complain about bad Troper Tales, but never delete them, and just ignore them until a TT Mockery thread comes by so they have a reason to laugh about them.

It would solve everyone's problems if you just...you know, deleted them?

Nyarly · 2011-05-02 12:38:39

Oh, it's just Guy In White bitching about Fast Eddie. What else is new. Really, if FE were really as dictatorial as you say, you would have been banned since a long time already. Hell, after I saw the OP of the "Alright, this is going a bit too far" thread, I half-expected this to happen.

Oh, and hi Jack. Still angry at me after what I did to your wiki?

MousaThe14 · 2011-05-02 12:39:56

^^Anyone want to actually try? I'm considered it but I'm also thinking that if I try, out of no where the hammer of ~~mod~~ god will come down and no more tvtropes for Mousa The 14

JackButler · 2011-05-02 12:41:41

^^Angry? No... childish little trolls like yourself aren't important enough to me to make me angry. I sighed, shook my head, blocked you because you vandalized my wiki out of spite and for your own cheap thrills, and corrected your vandalism. All in about nine seconds, and at no time was anger was involved at all.

You didn't even get me irritated.

Myrmidon · 2011-05-02 12:45:16

Rottweiler · 2011-05-02 12:46:35

What the heck happened to Obama's tie?

Nyarly · 2011-05-02 12:47:36

^^^ That sounds quite passive-agressive. Not that I think that you are lying. I highly doubt that for a certain reason.

Trash_Vortex · 2011-05-02 12:48:45

Guy in White is right about everything, ever, and the rest of you are just wasting your time humouring him like this, just admit it already.

JackButler · 2011-05-02 12:53:16

Of course its passive aggressive. I don't like trolls and vandals who feel its fun to mess up other people's things, so obviously I don't like you. But your vandalism took less than 10 seconds to correct, and your IP is on record so you're blocked from coming back and doing it again. As I said, no anger was involved at all. I'm still not angry.

Vandalism is a shortform of idiotic childish behavior. Hence my opinion of you.

The irony being that the guys who posted things like "Jack Butler is the perfect example" on my own Big Name Small Ego" page weren't banned, because what they did isn't vandalism.

Saigyouji · 2011-05-02 12:56:27

Strangest thing: They were.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-05-02 12:56:34

Um...

Mod Hat On

Thread's rapidly approaching a shitstorm, if it's not already in it. Let's not have one.

Mod Hat Off

Nyarly · 2011-05-02 12:57:53

"The irony being that the guys who posted things like "Jack Butler is the
perfect example" on my own Big Name Small Ego" page weren't banned"

But you did ban me. Or were there others?

glennmagusharvey · 2011-05-02 13:16:55

Did you mean: Small Name Big Ego

Nyarly · 2011-05-02 13:19:53

I think he means the page on the mirror wiki.

I also want to say that I don't mean to kick off a shitstorm and don't mean to insult anyone (I think, one could maybe think that from my comments but maybe I'm just becoming paranoid).

Vorpy · 2011-05-02 13:26:04

^^Angry? No... childish little trolls like yourself aren't
important enough to me to make me angry.

With that little "fuck you and goodbye" speech you made to him it sure look like he did. Otherwise you would have been like Trainwreck from Wooopedia and just...you know, undo his edits and just ban him without commenting on it?

Nyarly do you still have that little comment he made about you before banning you on hand? Perhaps we can review it.

I sighed, shook my head,
blocked you because you vandalized my wiki out of spite and for your own
cheap thrills, and corrected your vandalism.

You also incorrectly compared him to Mount Fire Eyes too, and you are also assuming other people's intentions to justify your own actions as correct.

All in about nine
seconds, and at no time was anger was involved at all.

Okay.

You didn't even get me irritated.

Yet you replied with that "fuck you and goodbye" speech, instead of, as said before, just blocking him.

Nyarly · 2011-05-02 13:28:15

Vorpy, haven't you read INUH's post?

Also, it wasn't Jack, who compared me to MFE, but an entirely different user.

Vorpy · 2011-05-02 13:29:01

I was replying to a post on the other page so I didn't see INUH's post. My mistake.

And with that let's declare JackButler wrong and be done with it.

Howdy, Stranger!
