There ought to be a better way to enforce these rules. Right now, someone can register and go straight to troping without reading \'\'any\'\' of this, cluelessly leaving a defecative trail of [[NoSelfReferencesPlease self-references]], {{word cruft}}, {{zero context example}}s, and other horrible chat room-like drivel that drive me to BrainBleach and thoughts of violence.

However, this would more than likely disable anyone from quoting works that use these phrases in dialogue or, worse, their titles, leaving \\\"This Troper\\\" as the only feasible filtering option (sorry to anyone planning on a documentary or webcomic called \\\'\\\'This Troper\\\'\\\'; sometimes drastic measures must be taken).
