Things you did wrong as tropers.

I took 5 dollars from the troper slushfund one time a year ago or so cause I was really hungry for a footlong from subway >.>

We have a slush fund?

Well it's not like you killed a man.

I insulted every troper by saying that Dethroning Moment of Suck is a whiny page for people with no sense of humour which pass their days hearing Black Humour jokes and screaming "Dude, Not Funny!" all the day, or for people with Aspergers which think they must be treated as deities because of their condition.

...Did I said that out loud? Whoops.

Well you don't seem to be proud of it. That's something.

Nothing because I'm the best troper ever!

I think my worst has been some consistent edits where I've repaired certain parts of a page but not gone over it to repair other, more glaring issues with it.

I really should just review pages and think 'This entire page needs clean-up. I should list it up...'

Phantom: A lot of people dislike the DMOS pages

What did I do wrong? Apart from creeping out a few fellow tropers, I probably should tend more to my Ex Drummer page; I made it last summer and didn't update it since.

Losing my temper and going into all out rage mode.

I tried adding examples to The Republic.

Which is apparently not a good idea.

Bumping a thread that had been dead for four years.

So. Much. Responding rather than "repairing" (and with incorrect information to boot - i.e. that Ultimate was a higher level than Mega when in fact the opposite was true... God I was a dumb kid), contributing to Troper Tales (in hindsight I am so glad that's gone), speaking in third person (as in addressing myself as "Reiko-chan"), nattering on the Sonic Generations Nightmare Fuel page (which apparently no longer exists now), being a brat in TRS with an incredibly stupid and rather unwarranted Shout-Out to an anime I hadn't even seen... dear God I was so stupid...

In the Japanese versions Ultimate IS the final form, so don't feel too bad.

Some things I remember off the top of my head:

• Used This Troper in my earliest edits.
• I was a chronic natter-er in my early troping days, usually by adding my own random comments to entries.
• Had an embarrassing Jerkass moment in Forum Games once that I'm still ashamed of.
• I also attempted to create a page for one of my fanfics. I did a little bit on the page, then abandoned it and never looked back once I realized that A. It was bad form to do that. and B. I realized that I hated said fanfic. I seriously hope that page still doesn't exist.

Update

I'm still perfect in every way

Someone posted an news article about gender identity harassment, I posted an theory on why that happened and now I'm "transphobic" for describing transphobia. But I got over this around an week it happened.

I've also got in trouble for having an little too much fun with thread creation. And I've gotten banned for misusing the Autism forum.

What else...There's that time where someone complained over me using Trope Finder too much (cuz I'm too lethargic to find them myself). Had an video game page that I created deleted because I didn't post enough tropes on it fast enough. Thumped for asking an rude question.

...I guess there are days where I ruin everything that I touch...

Throw another one on the "this troper + troper tales" pile. Unlike some of the other people who posted there... yeah, I was pretty much the folks in the videos.

In my defense I was 14-ish.

I once accidentally nuked a huge portion of the HGS Characters page while editing it. Good thing I caught that and put it back.

Reminds me of when I tried to edit Video Game Bosses on my phone and ended up replacing half the page with copies of itself while filling it with HTML gibberish.

If I recall correctly, my first post on the forums was me asking way too many writing questions (some of which I was perfectly capable of answering myself with a little time and effort). I was just so excited to find a place to ask those questions that I simply dumped them all into one post. It was ignored, which is probably for the best.

I added two of the same examples on the So Proud of You page. How embarrassing. How embarrassing.

• Used "This Troper".

• Phrased everything badly. Probably. To this day I can't tell if I was too inclined to be dissatisfied with my stuff, or if I really did make all sentences confusing and tonally weird.

• Briefly, obsessively added tropes and subpages for a couple pieces of fiction that I liked, then got so self-conscious of my phrasing that I abandoned them when they were still incomplete and disorganized. I hope I didn't force other tropers into drudgery fixing those pages.

• Added a "Real Life" folder to a "No Real Life Examples, Please!" trope.

• Insted of fixing these things, I've been avoiding all pages I ever edited except my Troper Page because the embarrassment is so intense.

Everything I did when I had a different account here when I was like 14, such as putting something about vore on Art Major Biology and putting a personal anecdote on "Hey, It's That Voice" back when we still had it.

• Made an entry on The Lionhearts based off its first episode only — right before the show got pulled off Hulu, thus meaning that there was not a single episode on the entire Internet for a long time after the page was made.

• Throwing around Please Elaborate way too much.

• Screaming in edit summaries over people mixing up its/it's and led/lead. This actually got me banned at one point. (And I still see this misuse all over the wiki, too...)

• Hogging a bunch of video game forum threads with my utter inability to understand even the simplest of concepts.

• When I make edits I tend to phrase things oddly. Usually via repeating myself a lot which still happens to a certain degree today. I am still trying to find some of my olds one that I made years ago and fix them.

• I tend to try to talk about certain works or Real Life topics without having the full scope of things or not remembering things well, usually the latter. I tend to be a very forgetful person so this is usually unintentional.

• Gotten thumped a few times for continuing or being involved in an off topic discussion. I have gotten upset about this before and considered continuing it but I am a stickler for rules and I like this forum way more than most if not all other forums so I just let my irritation go.

• I tend to change my name which requires me to change my entire account. This confuses some older tropers a lot in regards to me as they think I am a different person.

• Tendency to rant about certain topics on works I feel very strong about. I also have it the other way were I get excited, theorize about something, and then look like an idiot when I am proved wrong not long after.
