.....DUDE. Did you really, really need to use all those words to describe the issue? the summary at the bottom seems to be more than adequate to explain this troper's behavior.

I was about to whine about the size of that wall of text, but that sure isnt kosher of Poe Dameron. Good Job bringing this up!

Well, you could cut things down by using Folders, but wow. So informative! :)

^ oh. I didn't notice that, I wasn't looking at dates. Guess they've left, then, but would anyone like to help me clean up after them. There's also the YMMV.The Seven Realms Series issue.

(I'm sorry for the long post, but when it's really bad, it's good to have context rather than a link to edit history that people are even less likely to look through.)

I wonder if there could be a list of Tropers who are certified "good" or whatever... And then the ones that are focused on are the newbies and stuff... ... Do we even have a list of every troper, to even start such a thing with?

^ you'd have to fly that by the moderators, I'm not sure if it would be taken well. We do have The Contributors, which lists all handles, I think.

If (general) you regularly visit the site, eventually you get a handle on who of the regular tropers are subject matter experts/specialists -and which ones should be ignored on the rare occasion that's applicable.
