Unfortunately for KOman, looks like they've wrote the third season example
in the first place.
No input on examples since I'm not familiar with the show, but it may not be an example if people still like other seasons.

Last time I checked, seasons 2 and 3 didn't destroy Date A Live. There was a Non-Serial Movie during the interim between seasons 2 and 3.
Suspended K Oman for edit warring
Macron's notes
To add my two cents on the matter, I also don't think seasons 2 and 3 didn't destroy Date A Live. For what it's worth, I've removed it, citing this ATT.

A good place to ask this kind of question (if something in a work is a valid example of a trope) is the Is this an example? thread.
If KOman was suspended for edit-warring, should I be suspended, as well? I mean, I did delete the entries in the first place.
Why would first deletion be editwarring? If you'd delete it twice, then it would be.

You didn't delete them twice from what I can see so you are fine. Making the third edit/revert to a contested entry is what makes an Edit War and is grounds for a suspension for anyone who crosses that line.

Well, I'm just asking because you should probably look at my history.
In order to avoid an Edit War, I want to decide once and for all whether or not seasons 2 and 3 of Date A Live can be considered Seasonal Rot. The entries are as follows:
I deleted it
because, as far as I understood, Seasonal Rot "refers to one particular season of a show that is judged in hindsight to be markedly inferior to other seasons. Way too many people are using the term to mean "I don't like the current season." It also does not mean "got less good over time," which is Jump the Shark."
K Oman added the entries back because, according to him, "both of these seem like actual cases of "markedly inferior".
I'm no expert in gauging the quality of TV seasons, but last time I checked, seasons 2 and 3 didn't destroy Date A Live. Sure, the quality dipped in certain aspects like animation and pacing, but if you visit websites like Anime News Network, MyAnimeList and Reddit, you will find largely positive opinions of those seasons. Season 3 gets criticized for compressing the entirety of an entire light novel volume into a single episode, but it still gets praise for its character writing, especially during Origami's story arc.
So, what do you say?
