(Move trivia tropes to the proper section, general curtailing of Complaining About Sites/Users We Don't Like that ignored corrections of genuine policy violations, remove dated statement about Darth Wiki pruning that's proven untrue from just actually looking the site, remove other stuff that just provably isn't true, link to Red Link club, context context context, et cetera...) |

Line 56:
* [[Overused Running Gag]]:
** [[I Am Not Making This Up]] and [[So, Yeah]] were so overused that the wiki said "enough is enough!" and purged all mention of them from the wiki, deleting and perma-locking their pages. Other tropes that were the subject of troper misuse due to [[Opinion Myopia]] were either disambiguated or given an [[Example Sectionectomy]] to prevent their overuse.
** Some particular [[Fetish Fuel]]-related tropes such as [[Panty Shot]], alongside relatively tamer examples such as [[Hot Mom]] and [[Hot Dad]], fell afoul of similar misuse, especially among the genuinely creepier elements of the old userbase. Both this unsavory behavior and the excessive administrative action taken in curtailing it is source of at least one [[Broken Base|major break in the userbase]], and among many other things resulted in the creation of a Fetish Fuel Wikia (that ended up deleted when [[Wikia|FANDOM]] went on a purge of its own). It's worth noting that both [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/NoLewdnessNoPrudishness TV Tropes] and All The Tropes
* [[Poe's Law]]: TV Tropes fell victim to this during [[The Second Google Incident]] - several works were cutlisted by members in protest of the "zero-tolerance" policy that was adopted. While obvious ultra-famous works like ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]''<ref>...which has [[wikipedia:Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition#Majority opinion|a history of being used this way]].</ref> were at little risk, one particular work named ''[[Black Bird]]'' ended up being cut for real; it was restored afterwards, and the TV Tropes administration admitted it was removed in error (which was considered quite rare for them).
* [[Post Modern]]: Plenty of examples. Since the site is a catalog of devices used in fiction, the whole site is this.
