Can't you just make a request to have them restore it? |
| Yorec #1476440 2 weeks ago |
actually it looks like the page has been locked. What happened to Tvtropes? I thought you could add anything as long as it was notable enough? |

@JP
It comes with popularity. As more people visit, more restrictions are needed to keep the site in some state of functionality and order. |
| CallMeAl #1476491 2 weeks ago |
Maybe we're not notable enough? |

Ponibooru? That name doesn't describe a trope! Rename it to "Image Board About Ponies"! |

But I wanted to know what it was gonna say about me :( |

@Yorec I was about to point that out.
This has been happening for a while. A lot of articles hav explicit rules against putting real life examples (to avoid flame wars, despite ConversationOnTheMainPage being against the rules and a rule about CautiousEditingJudgement that says to keep out biased words or your own viewpoints in edits.) Then they got rid of Troper Tales because of weird personal stories that they thought made the site look bad. They've even had to succumb to moral guardians in a small way, tho it wasn't their fault. (Google Ads doesn't like NSFW material, and is quikk to pull ads off an entire site for one page that mentions something bad, they had to setup a special system to keep the NSFW parts of the site hidden from Google Ads). |

Basically, TVTropes is slowly cutting off its own limbs because of outside pressures and cautious insiders. Eventually I think they'll undergo huge purges of pages for notability, even taking out actual trope pages. |

@Nebbie
Yeah I was so pissed when they got rid of Troper Tales. I mean even if they weren't actual stories they were still good reads. |
| Yorec #1476543 2 weeks ago |
*I mean't even if the stories weren't true, they would still be good reads. |

Niggas, just you wait. The site's Mods are my bitches, I'll get the page back in no time. |
| Step-chan #1477272 2 weeks ago |
I remember that they also got rid of Demonophobia page. |
