[up][up][up]Quasars are scary.

You know, while we're at it, there's a lot of pages that seem to enthusiastically endorse trolling "when done well". I'm not sure we should have them. Same with pages that are explicitly about making fun of terrible authors. Where should I take a suggestion such as this?

Wow, someone listed Chugworth Academy?

Defense: Chugworth contains no explicit sex, and even the fanservice is restricted to Filler Strips and limited to Stripperiffic clothing or Hand-or-Object Underwear. The only case of actual nudity in the comic is a single bare (adult male) ass. While I can't remember if the characters' ages are mentioned, they're definitely in high school, and probably in the later years of it, so it's not pedophiliac either.

In short, if it's going to be cut, cut it for being a stub. not under the content policy.

On this topic, don't forget St Trinians, which I shall defend on exactly the same grounds.

It involves, among many, many other things, middle-school girls manufacturing and selling heroin, as well as underage girls of all ages attacking Her Majesty's forces, robbing the National Gallery, grave-robbing, and abducting individuals against their will. What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?

I know this is so off-topic, but the Porn Vote marker literally made me crack up. Congratulations to whoever made that little image, it is AMAZING.

If I recall correctly, Eddie is casting the deciding vote until they can get a new fifth member.

We wait until we find a fifth member to replace the one who left to make ties impossible again.

No one in the council covers anything in particular. They all have the same powers and their votes carry the same weight.

I thought the council was carefully selected to ensure that people familiar with all major media covered by TV Tropes was represented.

No. None of our council members have interest or cover one particular medium. They all have experience with all media we're covering. Except VNs, because those are very niche. I think Discar is the one who knows those best.

The P5 were selected for their ability to keep a cool head and the fact that they have demonstrated they understand what standards we're trying to set.

Ok. But I assume Elation will be replaces to keep the council number odd.

Yeah, I was wondering if the P5 would really know what to do with VNs. Apart from maybe Discar (emphasis on maybe) I don't think I've ever really seen any of them around in that forum nor have I heard about them reading many of them.

A shame they don't have a porn aficionado on the council.

We want to replace Elation as soon as possible, but we don't have many candidates, and mods can't apply for the job. Sorry. We're trying to figure this out. I'm personally very disappointed that TE left, since I was very confident he'd be good in this.

Tomu - I'm sure everyone likes certain types of porn. Why would it matter if any of us was an "aficionado"? This site is not about porn, and we don't need to be an aficionado to know what is or isn't porn.

Remember, I'm not voting things are porn because I hate them or think they suck, I'm voting because I think they're porn.
