TV Tropes/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

** The "No Recent Examples Please" rule added in 2019. Those for it state that many of the tropes that were added under it were frequent targets of misuse and edit wars, and that having this new rule would help organize and cleanup the examples. Others felt that the time limits that were added were too long a wait just to put down an example ([[Broken Base]] and [[Base Breaking Character]] were given a ''6 month'' wait time) and that these new rules further limited what could be put on pages.

** The complete dewicking of [[Internet Backdraft]] in mid-2019. Those for it state that [[Internet Backdraft]] had a long history of being misused for negative fan reaction because of the definition of it being so vague, and that negativity did not belong on TV Tropes. Those against it were upset that over thousands of entries were wiped away based on the consensus of about 20 tropers and pointed out that instead of putting valid entries in their proper YMMV tropes as was discussed, the tropers doing the cleanup simply nuked everything without even bothering to try.

* [[Jerkass]]: The website's moderators generally are pretty massive examples of this to say the ''least'', especially when they basically ''force'' people to "ban evade" before then ''erasing every single one of said people's edits using a literal machine'' just because said people did, in fact, "ban evade". They also seem to completely lack the ability to understand the fact that people have the ability to redeem themselves over time (as well as the fact that new users naturally make numerous mistakes due to their inexperienced-ness).

* [[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.
