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
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Here's my take:
1. On the whole, I agree with you. The fandom/hatedom for Game of Thrones is getting kind of annoying, on this website and elsewhere. People who have to remind everyone else at any given opportunity that the show is bad, its creators are bad, and that you're wrong for liking it. They're perfectly entitled to their opinion, of course, but that doesn't explain why they torture themselves by continuing to watch every episode and regularly post in forum threads, when there are so many better ways to spend ones time.
2. About the YMMV pages: Unless a YMMV trope is blatant misuse or is based on demonstrable factual errors, there's not much you can do but leave it there. Narm in particular can be applied to pretty much anything a particular troper doesn't like, and it's pretty hard to argue with, since the only clear definition is "funny because poorly executed". So to be honest, I don't know what to suggest, other than to remove examples that break the rules, and to add more positive YMMV items wherever you feel is appropriate (assuming they also comply with the rules).
Edit: I guess if there's a specific instance of a misused trope getting removed and re-added multiple times by different people, then a moderator could put up a notice warning against it.
Edited by KorKhan^^ If you think a YMMV trope contains factual errors, you can remove it outright, with an edit reason explaining the error.
If you disagree with a YMMV item based on subjective information, well, that's why they call it Your Mileage May Vary.
Edit Wars instantly circumvent that issue, though—if anyone is back-and-forthing with another editor, feel free to report them here (and don't engage in it yourself, of course).
For everything else, there's the discussion page. You can cut questionable examples and paste them in discussion, with an edit reason pointing curious editors to go there to discuss it. That way the debate, if there is one, stays off the page. And if there is no debate because no one replies, well, the example stays gone.
"Should I bring this up in the forums?"
Yes. There is a Long-term Projects thread dedicated to cleaning up excessive negativity: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13327578050A72722200
Oh Good Lord yes I have noticed this and it's bad. 8 episodes of the last series of Game of Thrones have YMMV pages. A whopping 6 of these 8 pages include Broken Base with the weasel-word description of ''Some people' didn't like the way one bit of the episode was handled!'
These aren't all wrong by any means - there was a very noticeable backlash against what happened in Episode 6, but could we go the way of Unfortunate Implications and require at least one credible source for these? Otherwise there's going to be another Broken Base every time something remotely unhappy happens on the show. Which, given that it's Game of Thrones, is very very frequent.
By any chance, is it the same user adding them to each episode?
YMMV is supposed to document opinions held by at least a small minority, not some dead horse a Single-Issue Wonk wants to keep beating. So if convincing evidence can be presented that this is one person trying to steer public opinion to what he thinks it "should" be, it may be grounds for removal.
Edited by DracMonsterWell, I rarely write anything about non-objetive tropes, but I find that a lot of criticism about G o T is regularly shoot down (some say zealously blocked) , maybe it's badly written or just complaining, I won't judge that, but the proliferation of YMMV pages regarding season 5 is not a whim, you can read articles everywhere about the last season jumping the shark, Forbes , The Indepedent and Squire and the likes, now that we are talking about serious citations.
There are articles about Season 5 'jumping the shark', yes. There are articles about certain parts of Season 5 in particular (again, Episode 6) which caused a lot of controversy. But the current state of those pages is a joke.
A lot of people didn't like the storyline in Dorne. But is it really necessary to have Idiot Plot and What An Idiot and Broken Base for every episode which features Dorne? Broken Base is supposed to be things that divide the fanbase fairly equally - not exactly 50-50, but not 95-5 either. Hence, for genuinely base-breaking situations, a credible source should be available.
Wouldn't that go under trope misuse to apply those tropes to everything that happens in a certain place or with a certain character? Whether you like or don't like something doesn't mean that it involves those tropes by default.
Edited by Candi Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettOn that note, Troll Brutal, you were probably right to re-add a couple of Narm examples I deleted from the episode 9 recap YMMV page, so maybe they were in fact correct and just needed better writing. The way they were written before, they didn't quite sound like "unintentionally funny." Either that, or I didn't read it closely enough (sometimes I do that). Once again, I jumped the gun.
Edited by katethegr8 To trope, or not to trope...that is the question.No problem, I understand how some entries may sound as complaining because they are not properly fleshed out. Personally, I'm very reluctant to add negative examples, and in fact I wrote on the main Narm subsection that most of the lines contain serious nitpicking, but to my liking, the last season broke the Willing Suspension of Disbelief too often, so there is a point where you find the intended drama unentionally funny, or facetious if you like.
That said, I also find the Dorne-bashing is a bit heavy handed.

The YMMV pages for individual Game of Thrones episodes have been rife with Complaining About Shows You Dont Like in the form of rampant misuse of tropes like Broken Base and Narm. Should I bring this up in the forums? It seems to be a big problem.
