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

It's still discouraged.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.From what I've seen, it's less "discouraged" and more "grounds for instant suspension until you promise to never use a word-replacement extension on the site, with a permanent ban if you re-offend".
Which is a bit extreme imo (a PM would work just fine), but yeah, it's still really bad.

I think I've seen someone get away with a word replacement plugin twice, but "three strikes and you're out" is pretty consistently enforced.
For what it's worth I've seen them do this at least thrice with the latest being earlier today which is why I brought it up.
Right, the issue seems to be that PMs are too easily ignored; suspensions are the only way to ensure the problem ends, even if only temporarily.
But in any case, sending a PM shouldn't hurt.

Pretty sure Troper "Book cat" has an extension or something that changes "Trump" to "Drumf" so when they edit a page (in this case the main Rooster Teeth page) it changes it. I remember seeing a while back that that kind of thing is discouraged. Is that still the case?
