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'm not sure that looks like vandalism- taking a cursory glance, it looks more like cutting natter.

I'm sure half of them aren't natter, but I guess that's what he could also be doing. It also looks like he's changing them to natter, adding statements such as "I see this as", "I think", etc.. He also appears to be having a formatting and spelling problem, but that's not the important issue here.
Edited by WolfMan16 Some folks on the Internet think they're a special GIFT to the world, and others aren't. In this perspective, they're kind of right.
Can you please link to the examples of "I see this as" and "I think"? I just went through the whole Sponge Bob page and it is difficult to determine what you are talking about.
He replaced an entire example from the Negative Continuity entry below. Not to mention it was a third bullet, and it appears to be natter:
"*** I don't think that would fit with the tune"
He also deleted every single post-movie example from the HONF page of the same show, even though those weren't referencing the decline in the show's quality.

And Wolfman? Please read tip 12 on the Tips Worksheet. Still, he does seem to be deleting examples instead of rewording them, so there's still a problem.

Robbierotten PM'ed me about his reasons for deleting those entries on the HONF page. He didn't find them scary.
I'm sure Robbierotten is more concerned about the show's popularity than I do. He PM'ed me giving reasons for his editing. He said he was removing all of the entires relating to criticizing latter-day Spongebob because he doesn't like them, and he believes he's "doing the right thing". When it appears he's removing or changing anything to his own beliefs, which is subjective. I'm not quite sure how Demoted to Extra would be removed when it has nothing to do with the post-movie hating situation. I don't think popularity is the issue here.

I have pm'ed Robbierotten about the behavior and warned him.
Edit to add: I have also suggested that he come here and look at this discussion.

the examples in question were subjective, hence the deletion. I was giving the page a LONG needed clean-up. (There's a YMMV page for a REASON, people)
And Joran, THANK YOU. that's EXACTLY what i am doing.
You don't delete things from pages like HONF just because you don't think they're scary.
oh. sorry about that. Infact, i officially apologize for my actions.

Oh dear. It seems as though a user named robbierotten has vandalized the Spongebob Squarepants main and HONF pages. He's apparently doing this as an attempt to defend post-movie Spongebob, but all he's doing is deleting or changing any entry or trope relating to it, whether it be negative or positive.
