I know you were nice and polite but god this reminds me of a situation where a mod removed a no longer a real trope example and someone expected them to research the correct trope so it could be replaced and kept.

I vote that you can use Crazy Is Cool for this.

^ OK, Aegis. What you mentioned was a completely different story.

If you feel like this entry fits, go ahead.

If an example fits another trope (without shoehorning), you don't need permission to move it.

^Since it was removed by a mod, I didn't want to be accused of edit warring by adding it under another trope.

That wouldn't be edit warring unless you were clearly pushing your opinion. Also, you weren't the person who added the example. As long as the new trope fits, it's ok.

They were at the time of removal.

Will go ahead with adding then.

For the record, Ferot was never a mod.

Hmm. Could have sworn they were. My bad then.

A mod already answered the question and ATT isn't the place for general discussion, so locking. (For future reference, the blue "MOD" tag that appears next to my and Macron's usernames here also appears next to mods' usernames in edit histories, so there's a way to tell if an editor is a mod.)

Edited by GastonRabbit You can't just say "perchance".
