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

I don't think it should be restored, even with that new rule.
Those pages added nothing of value, and were just a place for people to drip bile about things they don't like. They served no legitimate purpose then, they don't now, and they never will at any point in the future.
Whine about what you hate elsewhere.
We already suspend for edit wars. Wagging our finger and going "We really mean it this time!" isn't likely to make a difference.
Banning is never about length of time here; it's about whether the perpetrator can be trusted to not repeat the problematic behavior.
The deal with that page is there was so much trouble from so many people that that page got permanently removed and locked. Same thing has happened to other pages that were so out of control even a standard lock wasn't sufficient.
When it reaches that point -it's not coming back.

When a page is sent to the Permanent Red Link Club, it's not coming back. Also, we don't do definite time bans here.

To be fair, that page was listed on PRLC back when everybody could arbitrarily list pages there.
That said, the Horrible.Web Original page was the source of disproportionate issues with drama importation. So I'd say no as welll.

Hi guys, I have a little suggestion to make. I would like to restore the so bad it's horrible sub-page off from the Permanent Red Link Club with an additional rule; if anyone tries to make an edit war again, they will be banned up to 1 or 3 and a half weeks. No buts or ifs.
