Do not set rules for what is or is not an example of a trope without first gaining consensus for setting those rules

Your edit to Sensitive Guy and Manly Man, which I have already reverted, set forth rules on what could or could not be listed as examples. I know that you did not get consensus for these rules because I can see that you did not start any discussion about making that change on either the trope's Talk page or the wiki's Forum.

@Looney Toons already brought to your attention All The Tropes:Terms of Service, which spoecifically states:

By registering as a contributor to All The Tropes (ATT), you agree to the following terms:
1. You promise not to be a huge jerk on our site. This includes page vandalism, link spamming, abusive behavior, illegal acts (in the United States or the Netherlands), or trying to drown out others' opinions.

Emphasis added. Note that we think that this is sufficiently important to be the very first thing in the Terms of Service.

Looney Toons and I both brought to your attention All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here, which specifically states:

Grounds for a tempban without warning on the first occurrence
...

Since you have seen fit to ignore the need to get other people's opinions before making substantive changes to the definition of a trope, I have no choice but to block your editing rights for three days, as per the guideline that was previously brought to your attention by two admins. Be warned that further behaviour of this sort will result in longer tempbans.

(Also, your edits to Sensitive Guy and Manly Man, In Touch with His Feminine Side, Tomboy, and Tomboy and Girly Girl also contained what appears to be a pejorative term. While the word "janegirl" is not defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary or Oxford English Dictionary, it is defined on Wikipedia as being a synonym of "sissy" - which is not a compliment. The edits have been reverted as part of the current project to remove pejorative terms from the wiki. You are free to appeal this decision to any other admin.)

I’m sorry. No excuse. It’s just that I’ve been so obsessed with the tomboy and tomgirl thing so much and always been searching constantly. Thank You and have a good day.

Raymanbell, if you received notification about this thread, it's because I edited a typo in Robkelk's message and it may have triggered a ping for you. Nothing has changed since the last time you saw this thread.
