Things you did wrong as tropers.

Bumping a thread that was dead for 7 years.

Constantly bumping dead threads, causing their locking, to the point that I was called out for it via PM.

Yes, I had a phase, and it was during the New Year's Purge of 2016.

Whatever I did several years ago that got me banned from editing. I think it was a grammar thing. Honestly, we need some kind of statue of limitations for that.

create my account ;D

Listing Accidental Innuendo somewhere it didn’t have any business being. It was a massive stretch, and on top of that, I didn’t even remember the quote right.

Also, listing a fanfic as So Bad, It's Good when it honestly wasn’t that bad, and wasn’t so much funny as just...odd. It wasn’t infamous or well-known or anything, either. It had a bizarre premise and did some weird stuff with its source material, but the writing itself was pretty good. Listing it here backfired anyway - all I did was get it more genuine fans. Eventually I took it off because I decided it never fit the trope that well to begin with.

One of these days, I’d like to apologize to the author, at least for the way I went about it. If I wanted to criticize the fic, it would’ve been better to leave a polite comment instead of going behind the author’s back to make fun of it on another site. In hindsight, it was awfully immature of me.

lol

I just remembered one thing I did a while ago. I linked Troper No. 9001 (who is a huge Undertale fan to some spoilery video (I think it was about some new feature that was added in one of the game's ports) without telling her what it was.

I can't remember how she responded... I think she just calmly told me she didn't want to see any spoilers for the game's ports. Still, I feel bad for doing that. Sorry, 9001.

I heard that! This is why I hate click bait.

Back in my early days, I used to sandwich post a lot. I was called out for it multiple times in You Are Banned, but I didn't realize what I was doing. I permanently left because of that.

- Used "This Troper" now and then during my early days here (I actually think some of them were before signing up, as you could edit without making an account back in the day)
- When I started becoming a Forum Games regular, I would sandwich post quite a bit in certain threads before getting called out on it. now I try only doing that if bumping up a thread that hasn't had a new post in a good while
- Once got a warning for Word Cruft (specifically, it was for the Kirby's Epic Yarn entry on It's Easy, So It Sucks!, where I added extra notes about the extra non-level challenges like minigames and how those would be an EXTRA challenge for anyone trying to fully 100% the game. Don't remember exactly how I wrote it, but the whole extra part I added got removed)
- I also did post to Troper Tales back when it existed... however, I don't actually regret that or feel "bad" about it x3

I made a post saying basically that There Is No Such Thing as Notability doesn't apply to albums that don't tell a story, with no mercy, even if they have tropes which are unique and never appear again in the artist's albums/songs not on albums.
