They've also used an Aversion on non-Omnipresent trope, forgot to curvy one-word trope (which was removed anyway), and another troper has raised a concern for character-bashing.

I actually think it's fine to use aversions to non-Omnipresent tropes when there's something notable about said example (e.g. if the character originally played the trope straight). However, I agree it shouldn't otherwise be done. I also agree that they should stop the character-bashing and I'll send them a notifier.

Well, that Laughably Evil example doesn't mention such notability, meaning it's ZCE at best and a violation of the note at Averted Trope. It reads like they're just not Laughably Evil and there's no point in listing it.

I didn't disagree with that; with the first part, I was talking about averted examples in general.

And also this edit, IIRC Mean Character, Nice Actor is for In-Universe examples only?

Suspended them for edit warring.

I find it confusing, but yes, as-is Mean Character, Nice Actor is not about real actors, so that's misued.

^^^That's misuse so I'll cut it.

Permission to undo all of the vandalism they did to Two's character folder (i.e. deleting the misused entries and restoring the correct entries they deleted)?

I’m gonna put some Gloom in your eye.
