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.

Judging by TV Tropes Glossary, there seems to be a difference between a permanent ban and a bounce. Maybe getting permanently banned or getting put on read only doesn't stop you from editing crowners? I don't know.
As I suspected this wasn't the only TLP crowner they commented on. They also commented here
and here. It seems they went through the TLP on November 23 and used the crowners as the only way to communicate.
Nulled those entries (t3's nonsense is still on record in the history, though)
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
So they had a meltdown where they basically forced the mods to permaban them, and then started vandalizing shit to try and get unbanned? Great strategy.
But honestly, how is this even possible? Why would a permabanned troper be allowed to edit crowners of all things? I'm shocked nobody exploited this sooner.

Is it possible to make another account with different capitalization in the handle?
^ I don't know, but the edit history uses the same capitalization. They just used ALLCAPS in their text to terrify us into unbanning them.
EDIT: Actually it's not possible, and I should know because my troper page is capitalized despite my handle being all-lowercase.

I'm almost sure troper handles aren't case-sensitive, but I don't really feel like testing it just now.

I tried checking out TROPER3, and it's the same cut page you get when you go to Troper3. Debunked?

Investigating this one...

They also vandalized the Bugbear TLP crowner. I removed the spam. It is listed under the [REDACTED] entries.
^ The weirdest part is that those redacted options got two likes. With the other ones I could assume the like was from T3 themself, but two?

Is them being able to edit crowners a possible bug? If so, should we take it here?
I'll level, I downvoted to offset the upvotes, partially hoping others would follow my lead and downvote the spam in the crowner into oblivion, so that its effects on the crowner were mitigated.

^ Good effort, but I do want the spam to stay visible so the mods can see it, though.

Maybe they can't really edit the crowner, but they summoned a meatpuppet?
For every low there is a high.
^ Not likely; it's their name on the crowner history.

Huh. I didn't know you could see crowner history, since I'm not familiar with that part of the site.

Remember Troper 3? They got bounced back in September for rushed and haughty TLP activity
, and subsequently permabanned
for being super rude about their suspension.
Well, here's the weird thing. I checked a title crowner I made for one of my TLP drafts...and discovered one of the options was "UNBAN ME - TROPER3
" which was added on November 23 by Troper3. I thought they were permabanned by that date, and thus unable to edit crowners? If they really did make this edit in November then that's concerning and we should keep an eye out for more suspicious activity.
