Thank you for the friend request...

...but as I note on my user page, I accept neither friend nor foe requests, because I intensely dislike that part of the SocialProfile extension; if it were possible to have it turned off while retaining all other functionality, I would advocate for doing so (and I would not be alone among the admins in doing so).

As far as Mr. Robot is concerned, I actually know nothing about the show, having never watched it.

I think you guys should have a look at that page, considering how the description is very similar to TVT's.

Thanks for the heads-up. Other than the Affably Evil trope, though, I think the page just barely squeaks by our requirement for originality -- barely. But Affably Evil definitely had to go.

If you know alot about TVT..can you help me out with the edit? I don't have much time to edit and I don't know how much i can add due to work.

RabidTanker (talkcontribs)

Why not type out the tropes and the examples on a Word Document in your spare time? That way, you can cut & paste them here...provided that they're not identical to TVT's.

Regardless of who helps you and how, please make sure that you do not copy and paste from TV Tropes, nor do you simply rewrite each sentence. Please see our "Copyrights" page for specific guidelines. Given that Mr. Robot came out several years after TVT changed their license in 2012, none of the text on TVT's page for it is covered by the "archival" clause of our copyright policy, so anything you put on our page for the show must be completely original.

As I mentioned above in reply to RabidTanker, while the main text and most of the tropes for the Mr. Robot page just barely squeaks by the originality requirement -- barely -- the trope entry for Affably Evil was at least half cut-and-pasted from TVT. This is not permitted and is in fact illegal. It's been deleted accordingly.

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to warn you that further violation of the Copyright policy will result in a temporary block at the very least, as it puts the entire wiki at risk of legal liability.

I'll remember that.
