MOD NOTE: TROPES BLANKET-BANNED FROM HAVING VIDEO EXAMPLES:
- Attempted Rape
- Bound and Gagged
- Dramatic Incontinence
- Epileptic Flashing Lights
- Jump Scare
- Nocturnal Emission
- Panty Shot
- Pooping Where You Shouldn't
- Potty Failure
- Sensory Abuse
- Screamer Prank
It's been discussed a lot at the Video Uploading
thread that a lot of poor videos are slipping through the cracks, and that a clean-up effort is necessary if we are to combat the problem.
Common issues are:
- Videos spoiling major events from a work
- Videos not actually fitting the trope they're attached to
- Videos in which the important part doesn't happen until halfway through, with the length being ultimately pointless
- Videos that use the entire work, breaking copyright; this can be done either with one video showcasing an entire short video, or multiple videos that add up to using the entire work in piecemeal.
- Videos lacking the proper media source, or any media source at all.
- General quality problems, like audio issues or artifacting.
Videos must also be actual videos — a video file containing a static image or slideshow (e.g. a sequence of comic panels) should not be approved.
So, we've got our work cut out for us; but this is at least a place to discuss problems and come to solutions.

Badass Decay, another YMMV trope, has video examples that aren’t in-universe reactions.
It doesn’t help that that trope is typically used for complaining too.
Thomas fans needed! Come join me in the the show's cleanup thread!So good news today was finally able to delete all those broken video attempts I did some months ago seems you just have to wait for some time and eventually you will be able to delete your broken videos such as ones with too much mojibake in them just thought I share this to those that don’t know this.
I suspect it's less "you will have to wait for some time" and more "a bug got fixed today".
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.The Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater example from Repeat Cut would be a better fit for Rod-and-Reel Repurposed.
It was uploaded under Repeat Cut for the purposes of demonstrating Repeat Cut, which it does. That it also demonstrates one or more other tropes does not mean it cannot be uploaded under Repeat Cut.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.There is a video example on Potty Failure, despite that trope being banned from having video examples. I've brought it up in the moderation chat.
Is it banned? In TRS we removed a lot of tropes for the list for being added to the list without much discussion or process.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallRight, I just wanted to make sure Potty Failure was still one of them.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI assume it's banned cuz it's considered too gross and might attract fetishists, similar to why the image is on "Don't change the pic."
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.The Back at the Barnyard video for Mood Whiplash has a KissCartoon watermark.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper Wallthe SpongeBob SquarePants video on Jerkass Ball just seems there to complain. Just look at the video description.
- The normally chipper and excitable SpongeBob undergoes several levels for this episode, to the point he outright scolds Gary for being mean to the monstrous Puffy Fluffy despite the fact he ignored the warning it hates other pets, to the point of punishing him after he saves his life. This even occurs when he saw the pet in its true form. Face it, he got what he deserved.
Also, someone went and uploaded a Potty Failure example from Pingu to the page.

Already reported it to the Video Moderation Requests to have that video removed due to the video violating the No Video Examples, Please! rule
Could the Pingu video count for Artistic License – Ornithology/Biology or is it still too inapproapriate?
I'm mainly a fan of underrated media.Frankily, I don't really know. All I do know is the video is from a Banned Episode
The problem with the Pingu video on Potty Failure is interesting... I heard there was a system that could identify tropes which don't allow video examples.

Working on Sandbox.The Amazing Race TV Tropes Edition.(I am now asking the moderators)
Was the troper who added the video example to Potty Failure notified (by the moderators) that the trope doesn't allow video examples?

we can't notify people we can't identify. Videos don't tell you who uploaded them.
Okay so on the Vomit Indiscretion Shot there is a video example on there that seems to be of poor quality it’s the one from Arthur titled simply Arthur and it seems to be of poor quality to some extent at least having a very visible watermark and audio that just sounds off in a way that’s hard to explain. What do you all think? Should it be removed?

Yeah, like those surprisingly-good-yet-obscure cartoons
I have things to do and daddy issues to repress!
