Line 64:
* [[Orwellian Editor]]: The moderation staff routinely deletes ''anything'' they don't like or that dares to disagree with their opinions ([[Unperson|They also delete those who do the disagreeing]]). Entire threads have been known to vanish when the subject matter ventures into areas that the mods simply don't want to be discussed. They are aided in this by PMWiki's bare-minimum history feature, which retains little more than the last couple dozen edits (let alone a full audit trail back to the page creator), and which provides no simple mechanism for restoring deletions.
** Plenty of tropers think they own the pages they edit and patrol them, changing/deleting anything they don't ''fully'' agree with. For example, rva98014 thinks they own every animated film page, earning the ire of several tropers. He has since been perma-banned for edit warring, one of a very small percentage of banned users that actually deserved it.
** If you're only familiar with the comic version of [[The Umbrella Academy]], you will be thinking that Vanya was gender-swapped in the television series from the start thanks to the tv series page only mentioning Viktor. The moment Gerard Way decided the character should be a man after Season 2, however, Tv Tropes erased all mentions of the character's appearances as female
** Parody Visual Novel ''Snoot Game'' had its page erased because the developers of the game is parodying, ''Goodbye Volcano High'', complained about its contents.
* [[Paedo Hunt]]: TV Tropes's headlong rush to embrace censorship in 2012 was framed as a Paedo Hunt, using this trope as both a rallying cry and as a tool to discredit dissent and dissenters. It conveniently allowed the [[Censorship Bureau|P5]] [[Abomination Accusation Attack|to tar any work they disliked as "pedoshit" and anyone who disagreed with their agenda as a "pedophile"]]. While admittedly TVT had attracted an unsavory and frankly creepy element that did need purging, the extent to which the campaign was (and continues to be) taken—and the targets it was pointed at—suggest it is more a political/economic tool than a kneejerk [[Think of the Children]] reaction.
