I don't see any other subpages or YMMV items incorrectly listed on any of their uploaded videos. Which are they? And I don't think video editing history is accessible.

Two are under Memetic Mutation. One is under Unintentionally Sympathetic. There's another under both Moral Event Horizon and Tear Jerker. These are in the secondary tropes section.

I remember very specifically removing such tropes from these videos, but they're still here. I also must have rejected a video on these grounds at some point, which may be in their PM history.

According to Video Examples Quality Control, there's videos where they just add the misuse back. Maybe that's what's going on there?

That's what I'm saying. I remember removing the tropes, and I made sure they were gone before approving the videos.

I was able to add tropes to a video I uploaded after it was approved. Sounds like they're using this to add tropes back against consensus/misuse.

Is discussing this issue with our video system a bigger issue than this ATT?

No, because it's a much wider topic and we can only deal with it on a case by case basis.

In this case however, I have clear evidence that this happened based on the exchange earlier this day.

All right. There's still no direct evidence unfortunately, but those YMMV items being present after your responses in the video moderation thread + PM messages is enough for a suspension.
