Mad Satan prefers one of his slaves like that, for both humiliation and for her to put her head in his butt.

Power Perversion Potential posted:

The entire series is based around this (more obvious in the novel and in Mars Penal Colony): The systems Mad Satan employs is based on "correctional" options which kept hardened criminals in line, and while they were used in severe way, they were still Lawful Neutral. Now he's monitoring women's brains, telling the supercomputer what to do with the information so to break their spirit better, uses the entire system to control every man on Mars and keep them in line (read: he could kill or torture mentally whoever didn't follow his rules).

People keep throwing movies at me since I've seen like, hardly any non-animated ones in my life and have nothing to go on when it comes to finding ones I may like.

I'm only getting more and more nervous with each new one I try. It literally took me three hours to hit "play" when watching the freaking Terminator on Netflix.

What am I even afraid of? Have I built that big a bubble around myself?

One day a bad girl traipses into town. She could be a snotty trouble-making type, a Femme Fatale, or just a woman with overly healthy appetites for sex, power, or both. She spends the next few months making life interesting for the guys and infuriating for the parents/good girls.

And then she is raped. Or perhaps in a "child-friendly" version, just sexually assaulted.

...

The female version is also very popular in Anime Fan Fic, especially with the Alpha Bitch of any show as the victim.

This trope is rife with Unfortunate Implications. You have been warned. No Real Life Examples, Please!

I'm trying to fight back any tears right now for what happened. I'll try explain.

There was a game being released for the 3DS Virtual Console. Well, several games. Being a long time Mega Man fan, I got excited over the prospect of "Mega May" that was announced a while back, in which the rest of the GB Mega Man games would be released on the 3DS Virtual Console throughout May and beyond.

Said event happened to be No Export for You for my region. I just... don't even know why. That... turned out to be my Berserk Button.

I don't know what... what I did. I'm just so depressed and upset about my actions now. I don't know what came over me. I've even lost the will to play any games anymore. I'm just so depressed that this has happened to me.

There is nothing that can cheer me up after this. I just want the whole day to restart.

The Hard Moder posted:

I recently got suspended. I believe it was because of a mistake on my part, where I had been changing instances of "cloud" to "butt". This was because I had recently installed a plugin that automatically changes any text I read from "cloud" to "butt", and I had not realised it would influence the page I was editing. I have disabled the plugin now, so I should be able to make helpful edits again.

If I was suspended for a different reason, I am not aware of that, and would like to know why.

Ecclytennysmithylove posted:

If it's because I've been moving some several DMOS posts to their own DMOS pages, then I apologize. I was giving the DMOS pages some clean up.

I promise I'll put them in folders instead.

Fighteer posted:

~Ecclytennysmithylove: Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but you've been continually drawing attention to yourself by doing things that aren't necessary or are straight up incorrect, then disregarding people asking you to stop. Recently there was a flap over you getting Needs More Love confused with Needs Wiki Magic Love, and just now the DMOS thing. Just because three examples is the minimum for a subpage doesn't mean you need to make one every time a work acquires that many.

This keeps happening. You're on your third suspension, and there was a separate report after the last one that you were posting cut Real Life examples from the Panty Shot article on its Discussion page.

I'm just not seeing a pattern of understanding our rules.

Ecclytennysmithylove posted:

I've became a member of Tvtropes since November 2013, so I'm new to the rules. sad

As for the Needs More Love, why can't we just make a new trope Needs More Episodes?

And as for the Panty Shots, I didn't post Real Life examples, I posted Anime/Manga examples in the discussion page. Somebody must've hacked into my account and posted Real Life examples.

Fighteer posted:

I've talked to the other mods and the consensus is that it's not worth it to deal with your messes. Six months is more than enough time for most people to learn how the site works, so the fact that it's taken you this long to figure it out — after two prior suspensions, no less — is indicative of a problem on your end, not ours. We're not going to go through it a fourth time.

Sorry, your suspension won't be lifted. You may read the wiki, but may not edit.

Edit: I erred in the Panty Shot thing. It wasn't Real Life examples; it was examples, period. The article is under an examples lockout, so circumventing that by putting them in the Discussion page is an intentional rules violation.

Ecclytennysmithylove posted:

*sigh* Fine... But that also means I'm not going to continue moving some marked tropes to YMMV/Trivia pages. sad *bangs myself on the wall until theirs blood coming out of my head*.

I didn't know that putting the Panty Shot examples in the Discussion page was an intentional rules violation. You could've at least insert the rules about no inserting examples in the Discussion page in the first place.

Fighteer posted:

This is exactly what we're talking about. Most people, seeing a message on the article reading "No examples, please" would realize that we mean No examples, please. Not you, apparently, which is part of the reason we're here. You aren't the only person who's able to transplant YMMV and Trivia examples, either.

Ecclytennysmithylove posted:

Well, since this is the third I've been suspended, I take responsibilities for my actions, and I'd rather be better off moving marked tropes to YMMV/Trivia pages than not realizing that I'm breaking the rules.

Ecclytennysmithylove posted:

Ok, after a long hour or two of reading the TVtrope Rules, I'm ready to be un-suspended. I vow myself that I will NOT do anything else other than moving marked tropes to the YMMV/Trivia pages.

Fighteer posted:

@Ecclytennysmithylove: Not only are you not persuading me, sending me PMs pointing out issues with the wiki that you "could be fixing" is only going to make me turn off those privileges as well. If you want to retain any ability to access the wiki, you would do well to accept our decision.

Ecclytennysmithylove posted:

....then I'm going to regret that I joined TV Tropes.... sad

UPDATE: Last night, I sent an email to the thestaff@tvtropes.org to appeal my suspension. If the resulting decision doesn't turn out what I expect, then I regret that I became a member of TVTropes.

I thought you guys weren't suppose to make me feel bad and distance myself from the site. I trusted you. I'm 23 years old single woman who's desperately searching for a husband. I was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome at the age of 10, and I sometimes lose my temper whenever things don't go right, though I'm slowly getting better.

Madrugada posted:

You thought wrong. Our job isn't to make sure you don't feel bad. Our job is to protect the wiki. And what your life is or isn't is not really anything we can do anything about. The "poor me" card has no value.

Ecclytennysmithylove posted:

Well, you guys are really helping me getting over my problem. smile

And you're right about the "poor me" card having no value, but it's the truth about me. I've also been a victim of emotional abuse in past (as mentioned in my Doctor Who DMOS post on the episode "Father's Day"). Example: being insulted by someone because of my poor communication.

Madrugada posted:

We're not going to lift your wiki-editing ban. The point that matters is that however well-intentioned you are, you're making messes that have to be cleaned up by someone else. That doesn't make the wiki better, it makes it worse and it means someone else has to do extra work just to bring it back to the condition it was in before.

Ecclytennysmithylove posted:

What did I just say before? "I vow to myself that I will NOT do anything else other than moving the marked tropes to the YMMV/Trivia pages." That is a promise. I've changed for good.

And because you turned down my appeal, I'm going drown my sorrow and regret that I became a member of TV Tropes the whole time. My mother was right. I should've NEVER trusted anybody on the internet, especially you guys. SOME HELPFUL MODERATORS YOU ARE! >

quote:

So. Here I am — in this interrogation room. You sit there, eyes half-closed in disinterest, shoving doughnuts down your throat for a routine fix of sugar and fat to keep you going through your dreadfully difficult day. Your hands and face become even more disgustingly sticky with each sickening bite. I just sat here and smiled as I waited for you to stop cramming poo poo into your mouth and to actually do your job and ask for a story.

Why? Simple, really: your disgusting behavior proves a wonderful example of how I'm better than you, and I relish in its example. You're slime. You're filth. Nothing of value has ever come from you, nor will it ever. Even if I am the one that society, the media and the side of this table that I sit on deem the villain, the cancer destroying this city, remember this, if nothing else. The title of cancerous eraser of this once lovely place has and always will belong to you, both empirically and spiritually.

quote:

You didn't capture me. Your comrades did. Well, not exactly. But even with my exception aside, I've seen them on the news. They catch psychos — just like me, as you sheepishly say — and bring them to justice, working hard for their fellow Saffron citizens. And what did you do during all those heroic exploits? You sat here, with that same soulless look on your face, dicking around, eating more fattening products and doing what? Nothing… absolutely nothing. No contribution to society, no actual care for your fellow man as you've pledged to have in absolute solemnity. Hell, the only people you've ever 'contributed to' are most likely the people that sell those edible heart attacks. You're just the kind of pig I love to destroy — the kind that warms my heart whenever I see one die, especially when I'm responsible.

You most likely think I won't talk, at least anything worth reporting and about the raid. That I'll keep stalling and wait for the clean-cut lawyer wearing a dull, gray suit covered with an ugly brown coat to arrive — the one that I'll never see. I know he won't arrive because I told him not to come. More specifically, I told him to go gently caress himself. I don't want a trial. I don't want to waste my fair city's funds on a petty clusterfuck of arguments and excuses, clinging to lies like a rat clings to a piece of garbage when he's on the brink of drowning in a flooded sewer. I know when I'm caught. Your men are at my house right now, I bet. You found my disguise, my documentation of all the people and Pokémon I've slaughtered in order to cleanse and better this town. And you've certainly found my identity.

Differences from the competition:

TVT does not allow certain articles and topics to be discussed, because of censorship policies ostensibly imposed by their advertisement sponsors. We are hosted on a service funded by donations, so we have no ads and no widespread censorship. We have a wide range of other benefits too: modern software, secure browsing, and administrators who listen to other opinions. For a fuller explanation of the schism, see Why We Forked TV Tropes.

Why We Forked TV Tropes posted:

We're not Interested In Censorship
We want to create a place where people are free to offer literary criticism (and in-jokes) about any work of fiction -- not just those that are approved as goodthink by the Censorship Bureau. This doesn't mean that we are free from censorship either -- we just have much less. Sexually explicit material will be removed, but discussion of explicit works is encouraged.
This policy derives from our sense of Academic freedom -- the idea that no researcher should be barred from any field of inquiry. While we're a lot less formal than a scientific paper, we believe that there is value to be had in looking at the tropes in famous works like Deep Throat, La Blue Girl, and Lolita (yes, even that was briefly banned). These works may be popular with some, but they address an important part of the human condition.

Debate is Encouraged
That's right -- this wiki is not a hugbox for the administrators. We want people to feel comfortable disagreeing with the administrators without fearing retribution. Far, far too many people have been banned from TV Tropes for expressing opinions contrary to the staff. We even have a Policy for Wiki Staff designed to prevent these kind of abuses.
It's not a free-for-all, but TVT-style censorship is not the answer. Ultimately, the community will make the rules that it wants to see. All the administrators are there to ensure that the wiki space is open and fair to everyone. This is not "my site", this is everyone's site.

Collaborative Culture
While Fast Eddie has described the Creative Commons license used on TV Tropes as a source of "stealing because you can" and "straight up plagiarism", we believe that community content creation is good for the community. You can see the results of such collaboration on websites like Wikipedia, see Flickr photos incorporated into Irregular Webcomic, or read community-writen works like in Fenspace's wiki. Sharing the content widely drives even more creativity.
We're 100% non-profit, so we could easily take the content from the current version of TV Tropes with its non-commercial license. We choose not to do so, because we want the knowledge on our site, such as it is, to be as freely available as possible. Instead, we use the same Creative Commons license as Wikipedia, so that content may be freely interchanged between our two sites and through any other means.
