Spun off the main odd confessions thread; this thread is for odd confessions related to TV Tropes itself.
Excessive complaining isn't allowed anywhere on the site. Keep it out of this thread.
I felt guilty about having to remove some of the real life examples on Mandela Effect. I would not have removed them if they didn't violate site policy. I enjoyed reading those examples, and I'm sure the people who wrote them are not happy about them being removed.

For the longest time I was under the impression that the Discussion pages serve as a general comment section akin to the ones on FANDOM.
Currently Reading: N/AI just realized, my fear of forgetting things REALLY gets set off when an image page loses an image, either by replacement or outright removal. I have a really big fear of forgetting how things were.

I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.I feel like it used to be. But I may also be misremembering.

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessOmfg my brain wasn't working and I just accidentally sent myself a notifier on my edit deleting something rather than to the troper on the problematic edit I deleted.
Sandbox help wanted.I could put a picture of Talim in the Strangest thing I said today.
Sometimes on character pages, when I see 2+ characters that got lumped under the same folder, I sort their tropes into “Both/Shared Tropes”, “[Character 1]”, and “[Character 2]” (3…4…etc.). It bothers me when 2 characters’ tropes get all mixed together because they always appear together, even though they’re 2 distinct characters and don’t have literally everything in common.

One of the best troper tales was a tale about how the troper's lil' brother was a fan of Grease 2 and there was a character in it that fainted every time something dramatic happened, and thus during a play of Snow White he fainted cutely and hilariously as one of the Dwarves. And in the end Snow White said, dont forget the lil' Dwarf! It was so cute and if more were like that instead of the awfulness they turned out to be.
Discord: Waido X 255#1372 If you cant contact me on TV Tropes do it here.I don't mind serial tweaking, maybe someone is watching the work concurrently and the need to edit appears over time.
What I don't understand is editing the same page regularly, instead of adding new examples, to just improve some wording, for months.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI do get it, but instead of being a serial tweaker I just wait a while, come back to the page, dislike what's there and write it again lol. So I can understand the constant urge to make the writing better.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI’m hooked to the “New Media” sub-forum even though it makes me paranoid.
I browse NightmareFuel.You Tube Poop quite a bit at times, but in all honesty, the worst I've been scared by a YTP is TronJon and a Terrifying Dancing Elephant Play a PETA Flash Game by GooseFrabba. And yet I'm not sure it even counts for the page since the "scary" part is just it showing the Raiders of the Lost Ark melting face rather than some absolute terror created by the editor (yes, there are other spooky parts in that scene, but they were already in the source material; the face melt insertion is the only edit). And even then, it's hardly unique in that regard since there are other YTPs that use it as a jump scare as well (one NationOfOranges696 collab had it showing up twice, for example)
—signature not found—I tend to forget what threads I comment in and post similar messages twice.
