I know I had conflict with Moleman9000 before, but this is the last straw.
On the Total Drama Island Tropes, he keeps insisting a character Gwen is an example of a Sympathic Adulterer, because she made out with with Duncan who was at the time dating Courtney.
The thing is while Duncan was in a relationship with Courtney(so he could fit in the adultery example) Gwen wasn't with anybody at the time. She was single. So she didn't comit adultery because in order to do so, you have to be in a relationship with someone then make out etc.. with someone else.
Am I right or wrong?

I um, wrote humorous summaries/reviews of the first six Star Trek movies, just for fun, with plans to satirize/review the remaining five in the immediate future. Is there a place for that sort of nonsense on the site, or should I just leave it on my profile page? (It's in the folders under "Star Drecl")

I have a couple of additions to indexes to propose.
Should Unacceptable Targets be added as a self-censorship trope alongside Too Soon on the Censorship Tropes index? I tried throwing this in the discussion page, but it got lost in the noise, I guess.
While the Reincarnation page doesn't have much focus on the religious aspects of the trope, should we add it to the Religion Tropes index anyway?
Sorry if this shouldn't go here, but in my mind messing with the indexes is a Big Thing.

Someone named Unknown Light is using redirects to revert quite a bit of the Pokémon subpages (Radar, JBM, fan fic recommendations to give some examples) to nonpunctuated versions.
I am in the process of fixing them.

Yet another of Those People: mercuryfan is apparently not a fan of spelling and punctuation.

The user DARTHYAN keeps on adding a YMMV trope (Complete Monster) on a character sheet, even when he was advised that Complete Monster is a YMMV trope.

We've got a troper Completely rewriting the All Hallows Eve article with no apparent consensus, just saying it's "insulting towards women."

I've finally psyched myself into making a profile page, but belatedly realized that I have no idea how to go about doing so— I've checked the 'basics' page and searched through earlier questions, but I just can't seem to find the answer. If it's not too much trouble, I could use a hand...

I am curious what trope this falls under. I have a case of severe "break the cutie" where the female character joined the wrong group or organization and had her whole world upended on her making her regress from a young adult into that of a 5 year old (mentally of course)from all the abuse they did to her and also to her family which she had to watch multiple times in the storyline. Besides "break the cutie", what also is going with this? This is for a novel series I am working on.
If you want to send me an answer, please email me at hirohito6565@yahoo.com.

We have a troper by the name of ipratropium who keeps trying to make an article on Walking. Yes, the activity. It got cut twice for being People Sit On Chairs, can anything be done?
Quick question: If a page has Crowning Moment and YMMV subpages and they aren't showing up on that work's main page, where do I go to report that?
