The Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment exists to prevent tropers from making agenda-based edits or bringing up irrelevant controversial issues, but it's not always obvious if something breaks the rule or not. This thread serves the purposes of:
- Getting consensus on cutting overly controversial edits.
- Rewriting biased examples to be more neutral.
- Pre-emptively clarifying if a possible example actually violates the rule, or if it's okay to add.
- Making sure that the rule isn't just being used as an excuse to write a Zero-Context Example ("Some people think that X is Y, and that's all we have to say about it.")
See also the thread "Trump and ROCEJ
" for the specific topic of tropers sneaking their political views (not just views regarding Donald Trump, despite the title) onto the wiki.
See Pages Attracting Edits That Promote Bigotry for pages that attract ROCEJ violations that are bigoted in nature.

I'm helping!
That's probably not a correct use of the trope — unless their choice to spread these conspiracy theories caused their subsequent death.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

That better fits Death by Irony. Also it might be a bit tasteless to mock people who recently died and it almost certainly violates the ROCEJ.

On UncannyValley.Real Life, there's a note saying autistic people can be creepy, but a note saying that it's wrong to be afraid of autistic people.
For every low there is a high.

Misuse anyway.
Is it ok to have the Murasaki Shikibu page list off tropes from her diary?

This entry under the Web Original folder for You Are What You Hate strikes me as getting around the page being NRLEP. Cut?

It's a ZCE.

Cut or treat it like a ZCE?

Why waste time when you can see the last sunset last?
I would say cut, but I feel like we should analyze it further.

Ehh, I'd personally just hide it. Then again, the NRLEP stuff.... I could go either way tbh.

Through a wiki walk I ended up on YMMV.Balls Of Steel:
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The Militant Black Guy was crying racism at the innocuous nine years before the phrase 'social justice warrior' entered the mainstream lexicon.
I… what? Get rid of that, I can’t even tell what it’s supposed to be saying, other than it’s trying to push buttons.
x7 It looks like a backhanded RL example on an NRLEP page. I say delete it.
Lucas the Dreamer
Gotcha. On it now. Edit: Gone now.

I just found the following on BetterThanItSounds.Web Original:
- KiwiFarms: Assholes with nothing better to do ruin the lives of people they barely know.
...This just seems like backhanded complaining, and more specifically I don't think the site in question should be mentioned on TV Tropes. Cut?

TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper Wall
Something sure is weird about that page. Also yea cut it, Better Than It Sounds is for works that people like, and it’s neither a work or liked by us.

Thanks, the example is gone.

Also it implies that the website is better than that description...
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Hence why I brought it up.
From YMMV.SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E29SurvivalOfTheIdiotsDumped:
- Memetic Mutation:
- "Dirty Dan" became a nickname for former Nickelodeon sitcom producer Dan Schneider, who is a rumored foot fetishist. Rumor has it that "Dirty Dan" was an inside joke for Dan's behavior.
CG for short
True, but cut it regardless.
Angry babby
I think if it's a legit meme, it could stay, but remove the "rumor" and reword it to describe how the community jokes about Dan without implying anything definite.
I feel like other guys named Dan have been mocked with that meme, though?
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
I just found Creator.Rose Christo, and most of the page is about the controversy surrounding her. Is it keep-worthy?
