* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]:
** The admins and mods were largely considered to be full of these in the initial post-Second Google Incident era.
*** Eddie wasn't the only one with nuke powers, though - the moderators themselves had the ability to nuke threads, and took full advantage of these, also resulting in [[Unperson|the bans of those who dared disagree with them]].
*** Thankfully, this tendency has long since abated with his departure, and
**** With Fighteer being forced to resign from his moderator position at the end of 2022, some of the worst parts of "the bad old days" are finally disappearing -- especially given how it came about, from a mass outcry that was solicited by the TVT staff and ''not'' censored because it was overwhelmingly negative.
** On a relatively lesser note, there also appeared to be a clique of tropers who for some years actively patrolled the Made of Win pages specifically to find things to delete.
* [[Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things]]: One major reason many new guidelines were put in place during the 2010s and early 2020s, with several originating in rampant examples of [[Fan Myopia]]. A big example was the [[Internet Backdraft]] subpages, which were all wiped due to tropers consistently misusing the definition; another big [[Everyone Has Standards|and ''much less'' arguable]] example was the infamous [[Troper Tales]].
