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.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Personally, I'd be afraid that such an usage will encourage shoehorning.

That trope cannot apply if there is no radar to get past. It requires that the work be subject to active censorship, not merely a self-imposed standard on the part of its author.

Alright then, i will remove it.
Good idea. That said, if its host/sponsor has standards ("PG-13" in this case), and the work finds a way to dodge them, then it would count.

Can a webcomic have Getting Crap Past the Radar as an example? obviously there is no overt radar here (well, its sponsored on hiveworks so presumably does need to stay pg-13, but i digress) in this case (Paranatural) the author chooses to make the comic family-friendly, no one even swears and the main characters are 12, so it is very suprising when he throws in a reference to flipping someone off. However, is it really GCPTR? does a self-imposed radar count?
