What exactly do the reasons in TRS and IP conversations mean?

For the Trope Repair Shop:

• Unclear Description
• Misused
• Ambiguous Name
• Complaining
• Not Tropeworthy
• Duplicate Trope
• Not Thriving
• Snowclone
• Really a Useful Note

For Image Pickin':

• Does Not Illustrate
• Just a Face and a Caption
• Poor Image
• Duplicate Image
• Suggestion
• NSFW/Image Macro
• Spoiler
• Changed w/o discussion

They mean what they say. They have no hard-coded function; they exist mainly to allow interested parties to search/filter the topic list for issues they prefer to work with.

Yeah, most of those are rather self-explanatory. What specifically is throwing you off?

I'll need a more detailed explanation as to what those reasons mean.

"I'll need..." how exactly are you in a position to demand things from us, and why?

I'm not too demanding; is there any other forum post that has the answers to my question?

• Unclear Description: The description is unclear
• Misused: It's being misused
• Ambiguous Name: the name is ambiguous
• Complaining: People use the page to complain about the trope/work
• Not Tropeworthy: It's not Tropeworthy
• Duplicate Trope: It's a duplicate of another trope
• Not Thriving: It's not getting wicks
• Snowclone: It's a Snowclone
• Really a Useful Note: It's Not a trope but a Useful Note
• Does Not Illustrate: The picture doesn't illustrate the trope
• Just a Face and a Caption: Just a Face and a Caption
• Poor Image: The image is of poor quality
• Duplicate Image: The image is already used on another page
• Suggestion: Someone has a suggestion for an imageless page
• NSFW/Image Macro: Image is NSFW or part of an Image Macro
• Spoiler: The image is a spoiler
• Changed w/o discussion: The image was changed without making an IP thread

See .

Also, sometimes users in IP use "Suggestion" if they feel a suggestion they have fits better than what's already there.

Confusingly, NSFW/Image Macro is sometimes used for images which are used without permission, and aren't actually either of thoses things.

The list needs to be reworked, but it's probably not a priority item for the devs right now.

7: lol

It used to be true that the subject heading of a TRS or IP thread could be anything, like most other forums. They often didn't say what the problem was, though, which is important for a Workshop thread... so now you pick the subject heading from a list instead of writing your own.
