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.

Frankly more than just a "negative opinion", it looks to me downright bashing. "I'm not very surprised that this show was acclaimed by Christian reviewers, but I am very surprised that this show went #1 on the WB" and "...7th Heaven is a bore that begs to be mercy killed by God himself. This show should only be watched if you have low standards in TV quality or if you are into Bile Fascination." sounds to me more like Complaining About Shows You Don't Like.
I'm pretty sure those kinds of reviews aren't allowed, regardless of the author. Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong. I deleted that review.
On the subject of bashing reviews not being allowed, I found a review that's similar in tones on Ducktales 2017 here
. Does that also violate the rule on "No bashing reviews?"
Um, since when do we have a rule on "no bashing" in reviews? The whole reason they exist is to absorb all the complaining.

I mean, there's a difference between someone having a negative, angry review and someone posting a review to do nothing but mindlessly bash it and everyone who likes it. Though honestly, a lot of the bash-y reviews I've seen are barely even reviews, as they just claim the work sucks with little-to-no rationale, and can very easily be seen as or mistaken for troll reviews.
IDK, I feel like there's a certain line where something is just mindless bashing with no actual reviewing going on.

^^ But are the parts of his review I mentioned legit? Especially "This show should only be watched if you have low standards in TV quality or if you are into Bile Fascination", they sound to me directed against those who like the show, rather than against only the show on itself. Is that allowed?
I think his response was directed more at me. I brought up a review that was very bashy and wondered if that kind of review was allowed. I forgot that the review brought up by the OP had the "only watch if you have low standards," which can be considered a personal attack on those who like the show.
The review I brought up only has wonking, but no personal attacks towards others as far as I can tell. Chalk it up to a brain fart on my part and not fully understanding what Willbyr meant by "You're not wrong."

Waggish Pony is a user that got suspended for biased edits against the show 7th Heaven, and subsequently also has ban-evaded at least three times under various other user names.
They are currently banned from editing the wiki, of course. However they also left a review about this tv show here
. Seeing this user was known for their bias against this work, and for vandalizing its wiki page, is it kosher to keep this review up? Of course everybody is entitled to express a negative opinion of a work in a review, but since this a known ban-evader?
