Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

I would tend to agree that such things smack of negativity. I don't want to take drastic steps like locking articles unless it gets out of hand, though.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I would agree that the Troll trope is very often misused anyway. Some tropers seems to think it applies to any character with a bit of a prankster side, which I'm sure doesn't fit the definition. I had to clean it up from many subpages of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The whole thing might need a dedicated trope repair thread (if one doesn't exist already, I didn't check).
I say its a problem of not many people understanding that troll has a specific connotation due to the term being so common on the net. I was part of that discussion and the conclusion was Troll is based on motive.

There's no specific person here and I don't know if I'm the only one seeing this, but it seems each of the Ultimate Spider-Man pages are starting to attract negative opinions and tropes. I say this because myself and several others have removed several tropes in the Main/Non-YMMV pages that come across as assumptions or "under-analysed". In other words, something that can be easily debated. For example, some have noted Spider-man is a [[Troll]] in the series because he jokes a lot and "dumbs himself down", which leads me to question "Wouldn't that make all comic reliefs a troll?"
I hope I'm not coming across as overly defensive towards the show. I understand that a lot of people don't like it, and I wouldn't go as far as to deny any legitimate fault it has. Though I can mostly see when it's just negativity for the sake of minor venting from the editors.
