Welcome to All The Tropes!

@Captain Nemo: And thank you for your contributions tonight. However, several of them were word-for-word copies of passages lifted from TV Tropes (or very nearly so). (And given the markup errors in a couple others, I suspect that they, too, were copied from TVT, but I haven't been able to find the pages they might have come from.) Understand that this is copyright violation -- TV Tropes and All The Tropes have different Creative Commons licenses, and as a result we cannot legally use TVT content from after July 2012. Unless you were the sole author of the pasages in question -- and can prove it -- and thus can grant us the licenses to use those passages, we cannot legally allow them to remain on the wiki. Consequently they have been deleted in order to protect the wiki from legal liability.

You are free to recreate these passages completely in your own words, if you care to. Before you do, though, we would recommend that you review the following pages that you may find helpful:

We also strongly recommend that you read How We Do Bans Around Here. This isn't a threat -- this is the wiki policy strictly controlling how and when user bans can be applied by an Admin. We want you to be aware that unlike TVT, we do not ban users on whims or because we're cranky -- and that you know what we do ban people for, and what it takes, so you can avoid future problems.

If you could please reply to this message so we know we've reached you. Thanks.

-- Looney Toons, admin

Thank you for the heads up, and sorry about that! I'll keep this in mind from here on out!
