Discuss TV Tropes itself, such as observations you've made about the site/forum/wiki.
NOTE: Keep it civil; try not to get into any Flame Bait-y territory, per the forum rules
(in particular, drama importation and popcorn posting are not allowed, and this thread is for discussion about the site and not the users). In addition, while discussing the Edit Banned thread is not prohibited on its own, discussing and/or alluding to specific ban/suspension cases is not permitted.
One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

There are a hell of a lot less trolls here than on other sites. That's the one thing that hits you when you go through the pages.
Apart from the one dick that messed up the Fridge page for Bioshock Infinite, which I went and solved. Eventually.
WELCOME TO MEME HELL!!!The fish vandal was the guy who kept vandalizing Fast Eddie's page and other pages(some threads too) with several obscenities, and fish for some reason. He reappeared last fall.

It was one guy who kept coming back under new I Ps.

I saw fakeangelbr around the forums a lot, but I figured he was less a troll and more just immature.
Honestly, when it comes to most instances of supposed trolling, I'm more quick to assume that it's just an immature person who does not know how to conduct him/herself properly in a public space than to assume it's someone who is intentionally screwing with people. There's certain telltale signs I watch out for, though.
Basically, never assume that it's trolling when stupidity is the more likely reason.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of, just forgot the exact phrasing. Thank you!
"back in 2011 when i didn't know forums exist"
huh.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.That the first time you ever really used the internet? If so, I can understand that better.

A clique? As in, one?
I'd say there's dozens cliques, groups, covens, mafias and whatnot around here, besides a generic sort of "old guard".
