...because it is a word-for-word copy of an example from TV Tropes. This is copyright infringement as the deleted material postdates the fork and TV Tropes' subsequent change of license in 2012. Because All The Tropes and TV Tropes run under different Creative Commons licenses, content created there after 2012 cannot legally be used here without the express written approval of all the editors who contributed to it. It also violates our style guide, which expressly forbids links to TV Tropes -- because you were apparently too lazy to figure out how to link to our Steampunk page and decided to use an external link to TVT's page instead.
You are, of course, free to rewrite the example entirely in your own words and resubmit it. Before you do, though, we recommend you read the following pages:
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. However, I regret to inform you that per section 2.3, bullet point 1 of that document, you are now the recipient of of a formal warning for copyright infringement. If you attempt to post material from TV Tropes here again, you will receive a one-week temp ban, and further attempts to infringe on TVT's copyrights will result in longer temporary bans and possibly a permanent ban.
Please reply in this thread to acknowledge receipt of this warning. Be aware that using the wiki's "thank" function is not considered a reply.
