This is the fourth time they've added the same example despite it not fitting.

Also worth noting it's been removed by Super Sonic Heroes each time. Since it is genuine misuse I'm not sure it counts as edit war by them or not (there's exception for following rules) but it'd still be much better if they'd reported rather than kept deleting.

I sent stub notifiers for ^^this as well as a misuse notifier for ^^^this. Pinging ~Super Sonic Heroes and ~Incredibubble Irish Guy to the thread.

v Given this, I've hollered the thread to the mods: we've got rudeness on top of edit-warring, misuse, and stubs.

I tried to warn them that it was a misuse and that if incredibubbleirishguy kept adding it back something bad would happen, but all they said in response is I can't tell them what they can't do since "Tv Tropes is for everyone".

Alright, this is getting ridiculous. Hollered the mods.

EDIT: oops, didn’t realise mods had already been hollered.

Suspended them; I'll put the stub pages on the cutlist if they're not there already.

One last question before locking as resolved. Awhile back they removed this from YMMV.My Little Pony Equestria Girls Forgotten Friendship without explanation.

  • Informed Wrongness: Sunset Shimmer realizes she's at fault for provoking Wallflower Blush's retribution for ignoring them, thus failing to show them she had reformed. But given that she has saved the school multiple times and earned forgiveness from many people that she mistreated, it's hard to fault Sunset for assuming everyone thought her redeemed. Given Wallflower was so hard to notice they unsuccessfully tried to get their attention for a half a song and was just as forgotten by everyone else, it's unfair to fault or single out Sunset for it.

As I added the entry and asking about re-adding went nowhere, I left it be. But given their uncovered history of problematic edits, I ask again if there is any problem with adding it back. Or is that a question for elsewhere?

^No clue on the facts but it seems valid as written. Did you send an edit reason notifier?

^I don't see a problem with adding it back to YMMV.

^^I sent the default Deleting YMMV notifier, but they didn't reply.
