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

Yes, that and metadata are very suspect. Banned both.

About a week ago, troper Mack Wylde was suspended for directly copy-pasting content from Wikipedia. A few days ago, a new account called Treg Ryder started editing the same pages as Mack (such as Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, Where the Wild Things Are, The Jungle Book, etc.). Not only that, but they're focusing on much of the same tropes (such as Central Theme, Nice Guy, Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism, various tropes about morality).
It's strange because, as far as I know, Mack hasn't tried to repeal their suspension, but the accounts seem too similar to just be coincidence.
