TV Tropes/YMMV


 * Archive Panic: You're gonna need a lot of time to read all the pages.
 * Never Live It Down:
 * Mostly because of Fast Eddie and Fighteer, the staff at TV Tropes have garnered a reputation for being strict, power-hungry, abusive people who will ban anyone for the most mild offenses.
 * The forums have garnered a reputation for being an incredibly toxic place with incredibly toxic people, filled with opinions that will be shot down unless the mods happen to agree with them.
 * They Changed It, Now It Sucks:
 * The purge of Porn Tropes and nearly every NSFW work, a decision so controversial that This Very Wiki came into being partially because of it.
 * The June 2018 redesign, buggy at first, was criticized for its look and the security issues it created (some users were logged in as other accounts and could access email addresses).
 * The site's more restrictive rules implemented from 2018-2019, particularly with complaining and speculation, was met with criticism:
 * With complaining, time limits were implemented for certain YMMV tropes that had this the most, with 6 months being the most common limit placed. Many disliked this change, feeling that the limits placed were far too excessive a wait just to put down an example.
 * For speculation, new guidelines for non-released work pages were implemented. If works didn't meet the "minimum requirements" or attracted too much speculation, they would be locked until their release at best (which could take anywhere from a few months to a few years) or deleted and locked permanently at worst. This garnered complaints for restricting tropers on what works they were allowed to make pages for and for the definition of speculation depending on what the mods felt counted.
