Reverted and sent an issue notifier.

Ironically, it could be pulled for having more than one moment... The entry specifically says that the follow up episode is even worse, despite the claim that the moment is in the first episode.

Is it just me, or is it REALLY bad form for creators to try and police people's opinions of their works as listed on YMMV pages like this?

There needs to be a major announcement clarifying the "the work is yours, but the page is ours" rule.

Kaiser Neko can debate with Catmuto and convince them to remove the entry, either by PM or discussion. That is an option if he wants the DMOS entry removed.

It's not just bad form, it's explicitly against the rules.

Sorry, I was just having a bit of trouble grasping the full rules of how everything works around here. As all of this is based on opinions, I have no place trying to erase or correct people's posts. It's just getting frustrating for me because we never wrote the joke to be a rape joke, and people flat out stating otherwise and acting like we were trying to make up for it later is getting frustrating. Sorry about this, regardless, I don't want to censor anyone's opinions. It won't happen again.

Sorry personally to Catmuto.

I think we need to have a serious announcement hammering that home because not only was there the infamous Jesu Otaku incident (where she encouraged and engaged in page vandalism over some people pointing unfortunate implications in her works) but I noticed Lily Peet was stalking her pages and had made some pretty massive edits to one of them of a political nature before the lock. Now this.

^^Good. Be aware that you can edit your page to correct FACTUAL errors, but you're not allowed to touch YMMV tropes or start edit wars or control the page via abusing your own Word of God

Gotcha. Again, apologies for this. I don't want to tear down anybody's opinions or censor their speech on public forums.

Kaiser Neko, going through your edit history, I'm finding some issues with your edits. Back in September, you removed a YMMV sub-entry without an edit reason. I'm also noticing a lot of your edits being on YMMV subpages for TFS works (which include awesome, funny, heartwarming, and Nightmare Fuel pages).

It should be noted that creators are actually not allowed to add entries to YMMV pages (including Awesome Moments, Funny Moments, Heartwarming, and Nightmare Fuel pages). You can fix certain issues like grammar and indentation, but that's about it.

99% of the edits I've made have been to fix grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. However, if that edit I made in September was unacceptable, then I'll accept that and apologize again. If I've been acting out of line, I accept being called on it and will either adjust my behavior or leave. Just tell me.

I don't think I've ever actually added a YMMV entry, though.
