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 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.

Sounds good on paper (he/him)
You still need to leave an edit reason when deleting text, which is why I sent a notifier.
...Anyway, maybe we should get back to discussing the site instead of when and why edit reasons are used.

I mean it's called Enforced Trope, and features a giant button to the page where the return link would be. Though to be fair, that's not quite what Enforced Trope means. Maybe that can be left for Laconic thread.

Yeah, I don't get the "joke" here.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

...Maybe it's just the fatigue from being sick making my head fuzzy, but this discussion regarding Enforced Trope gave me the random idea of changing the tooltip for my mod badge to "Trope Enforcer". I think I'll stick with "The M stands for 'Madman Running the Asylum'" for now, though.

"Trope Enforcer" sounds like one of the powerful Troper Types

I didn't realize badges had that feature. Can anyone with badges do that, or just mods?

I have seen regular tropers with edited badge taglines so anyone with a badge can edit their badge text.
Macron's notes
Today's game of deprecated trope whack-a-mole is Famous Last Words, for which I cleared out almost a hundred wicks that had sprung up since its TRS.

I don't think anyone had checked since it wrapped up to be fair; some of the wicks were from late last year.

Oof, and I thought Not So Different and Something Completely Different were annoying. (Then again, I check constantly, which keeps numbers low.)

instead of trope Whack-a-Mole you should call it trope Batman
you sit on high and silently observe the brooding wiki in the night, watching for wicked wicks to rear their ugly heads, ready to swoop down and deliver swift troper's justice
CG for short
I keep confusing the Do you even know what the above avatar is and What do you know about the avatar above threads. They're so freaking similar.
WarJay, you and Beary Scary have the same forum avatar. You two must now fight to the death.
Bonnie's Artistic Cousin
Yeah, that gave me a bit of a jolt when I saw them on a thread. I was like... I don't remember posting here...

I noticed that too. Got confused for a sec when I saw it.

Is it like, the exact same avatar? Because I've seen a few other users with Fidough as their avatar but the background was different.

God, it's that time I keep mistaking two users for each other since they had very similar looking MCU!Scarlet Witch avvies all over again.

It's hard for me when it comes to the default avatars. Because I use avatars as a shortcut, the default always throws me off since I can't tell immediately who's talking... and that's bad when there's more than one default-user in the thread at once.

Good thing I picked the Windows XP Bliss wallpaper for my current pfp. I doubt anyone else is going to use it.

considering it was just removing a grossly big image I saw no need but I'll bear that in mind
