Just a note, there's a Diploo Raptor, and a Dino Raptor, both without any edits. EDIT: Oops nevermind, didn't realize it does that no matter what Tropers name you put in. Not actual troper pages.

Oh, and they're also editing their own podcast page and just literally filling it up with YMMV tropes as we speak.

They are ZC Es as well. He apparently thinks he can treat his pages like a sandbox. Isn't there something about people not being allowed to trope their own works? How do I format this so you can tell the contents of the podcast page different from the rest of my post?

Bunch of stuff fill it all in later check out the youtube page for more

They have been suspended.

It's against the rules for the subpages, not for the main page, although sometimes the line gets blurred a little bit.

How do I nominate this to the cutlist?.

^ It's already there, but https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/cutlist.php is the link you're looking for.

Cutlist everything in there. Also, the rule is that creators can edit their works, they cannot add audience reactions.

I just got a PM from Diplo Raptor. I have no idea what he is talking about. What should I do?

Subject: Why?

Why did you lock that page well it was being worked on i would like to know.

^ FYI, we aren't supposed to post the contents of P Ms. Privacy stuff.

That said though, it's clear they don't really get it.

^ Normally I wouldn't, but I really don't have the slightest idea what to tell him, and its not really anything that private, just as far as I can tell blaming me for his suspension and thinking the suspension was locking his page. How he got my name in that I don't know.

I would tell him to sort it out in Edit/Banned. He's already made a post there, so hopefully it'll all be explained to him.

Did they respond to any notifiers that were sent?

bitemytail Since: Dec, 2011

He just posted in Edit-Banned, so they'll sort him out. He can't read his PM's while suspended anyway, so I wouldn't bother responding.

I'm still curious as to why he P Med me of all people.

Yeah, that's very strange, I guess they've seen this thread? Maybe possibly kinda sorta? Only thing I can think of.

^^My guess is that they saw you were editing the page when they were suspended and presumed you had something to do with it.

Oooh, right. They saw the edit lock and assumed it was a real lock.

Given he's made no attempt to appeal, I've cutlisted Podcast.Random Cast since it's entirely unsalvageable. Should the same be done for LetsPlay.Diplo Raptor? There's a bit more there, but it's not viable as it is, and I doubt anyone wants to clean it up.

He was told what was wrong and never replied back at all, to clarify.

There is a lot wrong with the LP page. I would say cut it, too.

Larkmarn Since: Nov, 2010

^^ Right, which I consider not appealing considering he posted and then just fucked off. That said, it's taken him a week but he's responded (albeit in a manner that doesn't address his issues) so I'm holding off on cutlisting anything else.
