Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
The example is not just a wall of text, but far too complainy, reading more like an infuriated rant than an example. It should be edited for clarity and the shouting removed ("HUUUUUUUGGGGE!!" may be fitting for a forum flame, but not for a trope example).
EDITED: But since this is a YMMV trope, I'm not sure if we're allowed to edit it for these reasons.

"they have no idea Bowser craves Stars for his plots and have a Star Festival AGAIN!"
Yeah about that. Super Mario Galaxy 2 basically pretends Super Mario Galaxy 1 never happened due to the universe being reset at the end of the first game. So there's no case for Never Live It Down. Really there's no case for any Never Live It Down in the Mario Galaxy series because Never Live It Down is supposed to be some character or place gets a negative reputation that they can never shake off. As far as I know I haven't seen any negative reception about the Mushroom Kingdom, just Peach herself though and that's because of the Mario franchise as a whole.
The Toad species only has negative feedback for being the sole defining race of NPCs in the Mario RPG games. But that's opening a can of worms, so I'll stop there as per Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. I'd personally would axe the entire bullet point that Troper Princess Gwen quoted.

As I recollect, YMMV can be edited for natter and complaining, especially when the Audience Reaction trope isn't one that involves a negative reaction in the first place.

I've removed the paragraph.
"Thanks for the lesson. But I don't need you to tell me who I am."
The Troper FastFuriousFan
has readded the contested entry. The page history shows this troper was originally the one that added the entry in the first place, so now we have an edit war.
May not matter, but at first glance it does seem they tried to moderate the entry some. The second half of it still looks very complainy though. Especially if the post here is right and there's no memory of Galaxy 1 in play to give them that forewarning.
Delete it again?
I'll suspend the user.

I've deleted the example for the second time. Also left a link to this thread stating it needs to be discussed before it can be added.

While reading the Video Game section of Never Live It Down, I came across this paragraph:
I feel like the paragraph doesn't explain why this is a Never Live It Down moment, instead devolving into complaining about the supposed Idiot Plot of Super Mario Galaxy 2.
