I've been checking out the So Bad It's Horrible pages, and I've noticed that someone has been cutting out some reviews. I know that one of the rules says this (copypasted from the Film section and edited to reflect the pages that are affected): "It isn't a Horrible (X) just because anyone in That Guy With The Glasses and/or any other Caustic Critic reviewed it. There needs to be independent evidence, such as actual critics (emphasis on plural) for example, to list it. (Though once it is listed, they can provide the detailed review.)"
The kicker is that with some stuff that does have actual critics' input, they still delete the reviews. So does that count as vandalism, and the links can be restored, or should they just be left alone?

I'm brand-new as a contributor (first edit was today, relating to the Bathroom John entry), although been visiting a something like a year. I'd already posted this question earlier in another part of the forum, but realized this was probably the better home for it afterward, so bear with me ... it relates more to the "mechanics" of the wiki rather than any specific trope or work.
Is there a setup option somewhere here to display to me the times of ALL posts and other events in my local time (US/Canada Eastern, GMT-5)? It's much easier to see how recent an entry or posting is that way. Thanks and best.
Eastern Prince has vandalised the Hax.Home Page, Yoda.Home Page and AlBhed.Home Page. I've reverted them.
