:[[The Second Google Incident]]. Responding to another threat to TVT's advertising revenue due to Google being informed of "inappropriate" content, Fast Eddie responds with a previously-unseen alacrity. Hundreds of pages addressing topics unsuitable for persons under the age of ten are culled and a censorship regime is imposed on the entire wiki. The [[Censorship Bureau|P5]] is established and populated by a hand-picked team of bigots, prudes and [[Lickspittle]]s, whose advice Fast Eddie ignores when it conflicts with his own prejudices.
;May 2, 2012
:Looney Toons posts an expression of disgust and disappointment about the censorship regime on his TVT user page, explaining why he cannot in good conscience remain a member of the wiki. Within 12 hours he is permanently banned from TVT and the page is blanked and locked. In his wake other tropers also abandon TVT.
