Audience Reactions pages are by definition not objective. I am not sure where people get the idea from that this would be a problem.

I did look at the page and a lot of entries were neither backhanded insults (i.e "Look at how we disposed of this idiot!") nor ZCE. Also, neither being "outdated" nor the existence of a forum thread are criteria for removing an example or page.

In general, I am thinking that some entries could be removed if they are just "See X" or if they were added by the same troper, but I don't think that the entire page(s) need to go. Especially since the TLP incident is the first incident on these pages in quite a long time, and a lot of people are overreacting to it.

[up] I appreciate hearing that. It's easy to overcorrect after something like this. I'm one of the people who made a mess on that page, but I don't want the whole page to go over my and other people's mistakes. There's stuff to clean up, and a lot of funny stuff worth keeping for future readers to LOL at. Is it all right for those of us who were part of that to help with this?

[up] It is definitely alright. We're performing our services to the wiki.

I still think we should remove entries that glamorize violating wiki policy or just generally being a dick. That was what I got from the removal of the TLP incident there.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

That is what I was thinking.

Also the entry on Big-Lipped Alligator Moment about some natter that existed on Fourth-Wall Observer years ago. It says that doing this nowadays would get you yelled at by the mods.

Got nothing more to add to this, other than the fact that Funny.TV Tropes should include links to that aforementioned Yack Fest Thread, as well as Made Of Forum Win.
