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.
Looks like veiled complaining. Troper responsible for the first bullet: tsstevens; troper responsible for the second bullet: MsCC93.
Looking over their forum posts, it's definitely complaining. tsstevens made a complaint in the thread about it being Serious Business here
and MSCC 93 has gotten thumped in that thread at least once.
Well, that's getting cut then.
The second troper could stand to receive a PM about Example Indentation too.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
While yes, I will take responsibility for my part and admit that complaining about it on the main page is wrong. However, it's the truth. That's why I stay away from that thread anyway because some tropers who mean no type of harm get insulted by other tropers and then thumped. Is it worth getting your panties in a bunch when tropers unintentionally violate the rules? Then you wonder why some website hate TV Tropes so much (I don't, hate TV Tropes but I see why others hate it).

Are you really angling for a site ban, MsCC93? Because that's the only place this is going if you can't keep a lid on it.

You are going way beyond "Unintentional" Ms C

Just in case the blank edit with the angry edit reason by Ms CC 93 was missed, here's a link to the history page of SeriousBusiness.Real Life: link.
Also, and I'm just mentioning this to be complete, tsstevens took the entry to the discussion page (courtesy link) to discuss how to rewrite the example to be less complain-y.
I responded to that discussion page.
My reasoning is basically why I find having a Real Life page for that Trope an absolutely terrible idea.
Agree with Nubian Satyress.

The page just now is full of complaining, so if nothing else it needs a cleanup. But the very nature of the trope makes it almost impossible to for a real-life example not to be passive-aggressive complaining or outright flamebait, so I think it's a good candidate for NRLEP.
How do we nuke that section? Its nothing but complaining...

I think the particular question in the OP has been asked and answered. In case anyone is wondering, I've brought Serious Business to the RL section thread (courtesy link). I think this ATT thread could be locked, honestly.
I noted the following example in Serious Business:
