MediaWiki:Sitenotice

Because of the Great Spam Flood that began in December 2020 and hasn't slowed down at all in 2021, changes to the wiki made by Tropers who have not yet earned membership in the "autopatrolled" group are now being moderated - any change made by a new Troper will not show up until an admin or someone trusted to roll back changes approves the change.

We have just updated All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here. In short:
 * 1) Yes, you can mention politics on some pages without worrying about being banned. However, mentioning politics doesn't give you a "free pass" to ignore the rest of the rules.
 * 2) The lists of what activity is or isn't bannable are not meant to cover 100% of all possible cases.
 * 3) "Repeating an action that previously warranted a tempban" is now also on the list of activity that is temp-bannable without warning - which protects Tropers, since this has always been on the list of activity that is perma-bannable without warning.
 * 4) Linking to or mentioning a site or content critical of All The Tropes is specifically not a bannable action.
