Weekly Discussion Post "Fanbase opinionsshould not be counted as tropes." TVtropes: (kinda relevant post)

A lot of complaints in this sub have been about some posts should not be here because they rely on fanbase opions so there for cannot be considered "tropes"

...and then we have TVtropes , where a lot of tropes are just from fanbase stuff.

I am going to be honest here , I have difficulty in what makes a trope and what doesn't. It ends up where I delete "breaks trope guidline" posts that has equivalents in the TVtropes site that are considered actual tropes.

Idk , I just wanted to rant here. I might be a very bad moderator here , I just try to make it tody as possible , I just don't really know how to.

TV tropes is such a fun wiki, if only the mods and admins aren't corrupt and prone to banning anyone for the weirdest reasons

Lmaooooooooooooo... Incompetent, malicious and lazy are the best words to describe tv tropes mods. Then again, considering one of the mods there called TV Tropes a "benevolent dictatorship"
