I don't even really know how TV Tropes can be considered a "snowflake" site, especially considering the staff had been really implementing a strict no complaining rule in my waning days there . . . which is really odd, because one of the things that lured me to TV Tropes in the first place was how cynical, snide, and even downright sarcastic their pages could be. "No, no, we're not like that anymore, we're a non-complainy wiki," is what they were saying.
But in the grand scheme of things, as I mentioned before, the staff was really getting inconsistent with their rules after a while . . . then blaming us tropers for not staying on top of the rules, and coming down on your for even the slightest infraction. As I said, their records showed I had made some 3 or 4,000 contributions over a span of three years (this includes creating and writing entire pages for works and tropes and such), but they were more put out with a handful of mistakes I made during that same span of time, regardless that I was aware of most of those mistakes, and worked on correcting them. Matter of fact, this is basically what one of my final conversations with the staff was like when they were basically reciting all of the mistakes they saw I had made over the years (not word-for-word, mind you, but the general gist):
ME: As I have explained to you repeatedly, yes, I am aware that I had made these mistakes in the past, but as you can see, once I learn of my mistakes, I go back and correct them to the best of my ability, and I also avoid making these same mistakes as I continue to edit the wiki. It seems to me that if I've made these many contributions over the years, you would take that into consideration, rather than zeroing in on a few mistakes I've made here and there that I've since been working on fixing.
STAFF: Yeah, well, it seems to us you know nothing about our rules, so we think it's best you just stay banned.
ME: Then fine, be that way.
