So as to maintain the order in the wiki and forum,
TV Tropes has a staff in charge of moderating the behavior in them. The following is a list of all of the staff members and what role each one has. To contact them from a wiki page, you can use the Private Messaging system by clicking on the "send a PM" blue tag in the top right corner of any page and then put their handle in the "To Troper:" field. This message will reach them as soon as they next visit the site and open their mailbox. You can also report a specific forum post to the moderators by clicking the Holler button by that post (
it looks like this

Please note that general issues should not be PM'ed to individual moderators, as there's no guarantee that they will read their inbox at any particular time. Use
Ask The Tropers for wiki-side issues and the Hollers system for forum-side issues.
