Topic on User talk:NoxiousSludge

On the Syndrome re-discussion that recently occurred on the CM thread on TV Tropes, 17 votes went in favor of adding Syndrome, with 3 others leaning towards yes despite abstaining, and just 10 voting him down.

Yes for Syndrome: zcooper95, Ravok, Very Melon, Camberf, doineedaname, Austin DR, Phil Sat, Demon Duckof Doom, Fried Warthog, Irene, rosewood47, Clown-Face, MovieFan2000, AquaRegia, bobg, MGD107, and username2627 ( plus AnewMan, Karxrida, and Scraggle leaning towards yes)

No for Syndrome: Fighteer, Lightysnake, Morgenthaler, Awesomekid 42, emperors, nrjxll, MiraiYuji, LargoQuagmire, Nithael, HamburgerTime

And yet Fighteer invoked his mod powers to stop the discussion and insist that nothing new was brought to the table and that Syndrome will not go up as an example, even though he clearly won the majority vote here. I wish I was kidding...

Back in the day Fast Eddie just flat out deleted discussions about his stupid renames. I think it was the one to "Little Miss Snarker" which was renamed by script (that didn't leave edit history and left the alphabetical order broken) after it had just been manually renamed to Deadpan Loli from "The Ruri" with all references changed manually.

At least things aren't on that level of corruption any more. XD

I'll admit, I'm content to live and let live: they have their own criteria, we have ours, and thus I usually don't mind if they disagree with us.

But yeah, that was some downright blatant bullshit on his part. I still don't know what was worse about that situation: saying that Syndrome couldn't qualify due to a quick gag involving a supervillain trying to launch a missile (Who is both shown for a few seconds, AND the missile's capacity for destruction not being that clear) meaning that he's not as bad as he could be, or Fighteer essentially flipping over the game board and storming off like a kid throwing a tantrum.

But still, as 2dgirldfan said, this has been kind of a site-wide problem in general, so I can't say I'm surprised.

I have that policy too - I just find it odd, kind of funny and kind of frustrating that Syndrome ended up counting by their policy of voting up examples and yet didn't go up.

They should just be honest at this point and edit his entry on the Never Again List to "Syndrome- Doesn't count because I say so."

It seems all of the "insufficiently heinous" examples (Syndrome, Turbo, Ghetsis, Tirek) are code for "don't count because we don't want them to." At least examples like Hopper or Yakone have legit reasons to not be on, even if I don't agree with them.
