\\\'\\\'\\\'However, this page could not effectively serve its purpose\\\'\\\'\\\' because several vocal bronies were trying their hardest to justify why these moments happen and why they don\\\'t suck, even if this page was for personal opinion. Those who wanted to still enforce the page\\\'s purpose had to work hard to get rid of justifying edits and restore deleted examples. When Tropers/BewareTheWorlock deleted the entries for \\\"The Crystal Empire\\\", that was the last straw. The page was locked so that free edits could not be made.
Of course, there was a proposed solution to just put down wanted edits on the \\\"Edit requrest for a locked page\\\" thread, but this is provides a lose-lose situation on many levels:
* Firstly, this solution was posted inside the discussion and not the page itself, so it\\\'s rather hidden from quite a few tropers.
* Second, \\\'\\\'\\\'many tropers are unwilling to make the effort\\\'\\\'\\\' to submit their desired edits onto the thread, and not without good reason, too. \\\'\\\'\\\'Asking the moderators to edit a page\\\'\\\'\\\' that\\\'s all about complaining \\\'\\\'\\\'is a huge embarrassment\\\'\\\'\\\' to both the requester and the moderators. The request will be turned down because the thread is meant to be used for more important things than just a petty complaint, and even if the moderators agreed to it \\\'\\\'\\\'they would be embarrased\\\'\\\'\\\' about having to put down a complaint about an innocuous girls\\\' show.
Using that thread to make edit requests also makes the page unable to serve its purpose because the moderators would be unwilling to make those changes. The moderators could unlock this page, but it would just cause all of the edit wars that got the page locked in the first place.
The choice between locking it and unlocking it is a lose-lose situation since the page can\\\'t serve its purpose either way, so it will be best to simply cut this page, since it takes up unnecessary space if nothing can happen on it.
