As the author. Their not allowed to add stuff to the ymmv page at all

Restored - and sent them a PM.
A work's author has no special say over what goes on the work's page.
YMMV pages are for YMMV items. The Chew Toy, Eviler than Thou, and Too Dumb to Live are not YMMV.
Edited by wingedcatgirl Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
They seemed to think that they counted as YMMV examples because of the description having "YMMV" in it, which looks like Word Cruft at best and is emblematic of the tropes being misused at worst.
Ok, I didn't know I couldn't mess with the page. But I didn't put those on the YMMV originally. Somebody moved them there, they were on the main page originally. I'm fine with moving them to another part of the tropes page, but I didn't want them purged outright.
On February 13th, I, Rebel Falcon, removed the following tropes from the YMMV page for the fanfic Codes And Geass: Embracing Your Inner Megalomania on the grounds that none of the tropes were YMMV tropes:
- The Chew Toy: Trollouche goes out of his way to provoke people he doesn't like, particularly Chiba and Asahina of the Four Holy Swords. YMMV as to whether he's justified in blaming them for the events of the original timeline or not.
- Eviler than Thou: Trollouche plays up this image, but he's really on the side of justice, or so he says. YMMV as to whether he's any kind of villain.
- Too Dumb to Live: Kaname Ohgi. Ohgi sadly has no grasp of Realpolitik or propaganda and questions most of Zero's more controversial (albeit necessary. from a pragmatic viewpoint) decisions. This is a source of immense frustration for Trollouche, who's trying not to just demote, fire, or outright kill him. Most of this is caused by Trollouche taking a much heavier hand in controlling the Black Knights and seizing control/killing other resistance groups.
- General Katase. His broadcast in the middle of the Narita battle destroys the Black Knights momentum, costing them the battle. A fact that an outraged Zero plans to use to villify the JLF and ruin what's left of the organization.
- Ohgi appears to have wised up abit, publicly backing Zero to the hilt in the Narita battle post-operation address. Time will tell if it sticks.
On March 22nd however, the troper Trickster_Priest, who is in fact the author of the fanfic, re added all of the removed tropes. The reason he listed being: "I am the author, I decide what gets purged." Just because they are the author however doesn't mean they can just add non-YMMV tropes to a YMMV page though, right? I figured bring this here to be safe so as to prevent a risk of an Edit War. Edited by RebelFalcon
