!!Tropes which apply to this forum:
%% Community troping and Zero Context Examples entries are not allowed on wiki pages. All such entries have been commented out. Add context to the entries and cite specific threads before uncommenting them.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Many things to do with the Administrivia/FiveP.
%%* BreadEggsMilkSquick
* BrokenBase: Administrivia/TropeRepairShop is where tropers get together and argue about what trope pages are "supposed to be". They rarely have unanimous consensus.

%%* ContinuityNod
%%* ConversationalTroping
%%* DeadpanSnarker
%%* DoubleEntendre
%%* DysfunctionJunction
%%* FanMyopia
* FunWithAcronyms: Several were made in a discussion about JustForFun/{{TABLE}} pages, all relating to the kitchen in some way. The longest was '''J'''oining '''A'''cronymic '''L'''eagues '''A'''lters '''P'''eople's '''E'''ntire '''N'''otions '''O'''f '''S'''ense.
* {{GIRL}}: There are overwhelming amounts of male members with female avatars. This is inverted frequently as well, with plenty of females sporting male avatars.
* HiddenDepths: At first the characters may seem like shallow archetypes, but the characterization they receive is amazingly human.
%%* HotBlooded
%%* HurricaneOfPuns
* InternetJerk: Shows up occasionally. We don't like it and we don't want it here. Indulging in it is a really good way to get banned.
%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

%%* MultinationalTeam
%%* NightmareFetishist

%%* RunningGag
%%* SeriousBusiness
%%* {{Shipping}}
%%* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Pretty idealistic, as far as places on the Internet go. (Needs to cite individual threads for context.)
* SockPuppet: While (hopefully) not many members from the forums do this, we still have ''very'' strict rules about this sort of thing. Just to be safe.
%%* SophisticatedAsHell
* JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife: Taken to the extreme, after all, we're literally combining the addictiveness of Tv Tropes with that of forums, what else did you expect?
%%* {{Talkative Loon}}s
* UniversalAdaptorCast: There sure are a lot of [[AlternateUniverseFic troper AUs]]. Case in point, ''Roleplay/EverbodyGoesToSchoolTogetherAtTropervilleHigh'' went so gloriously out of hand as to once get its own page.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Not helped by the {{GIRL}} (and reverse-GIRL) avatars, and the fact that gender doesn't come up much.
%%* {{Yaoi Fan}}s
%%* {{Yuri Fan}}s

The articles go in the wiki, the trope proposals go in the TropeLaunchPad, everything is nice, clean and Administrivia/{{natter}}-free. However, there's a problem: You liked Administrivia/{{natter}}, you enjoy discussing {{trope}}s and works with your fellow {{troper}}s, you love adding witty snark to the nearest ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' or ''[[Literature/InheritanceCycle Eragon]]'' example… Worry not! There ''is'' a place where you can do all this and much, much more: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/topics.php The Forum]]!

The articles go in the wiki, the {{trope}} proposals go in the TropeLaunchPad, everything is nice, clean and Administrivia/{{natter}}-free. However, there's a problem: You liked Administrivia/{{natter}}, you enjoy discussing {{trope}}s and works with your fellow {{troper}}s, you love adding witty snark to the nearest ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' or ''[[Literature/InheritanceCycle Eragon]]'' example... Worry not! There ''is'' a place where you can do all this and much, much more: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/topics.php The Forum]],

So... What's with this "forum" we keep talking about? Well, for starters, it allows a more fluid conversation between {{troper}}s, avoiding Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage (or on the [[YMMV.HomePage YMMV]] tab, for that matter -- just because every {{trope}} there is subjective does ''not'' mean that conversation and debate is encouraged there, either). It also covers a broad spectrum of topics, meaning you can talk about pretty much anything you like. The forum is not, however, completely isolated from the wiki: It has a vital role in the administration of the site; {{trope}} renames, reworkings, and general wiki policies are all discussed in it.

Many subforums have a herald, dedicated to welcoming newbies and acting as a guide. If you have any questions, feel free to contact them. But enough gushing, for those people who don't want to read through the detailed [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13287249110A49840100&page=1#1 What Goes Where On The Forums]] guide, let's have a quick overview:

Herald: @/{{Telcontar}} -- [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/wiki_pm.php?to_troper=Telcontar Contact]]

This is where {{trope}} renames, merges and splits are proposed, discussed, voted on, and decided. Since it deals with topics regarding the wiki, it is more serious than the rest of the forum, and off-topic posting is highly discouraged.\\
Herald: @/{{Discar}} -- [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/wiki_pm.php?to_troper=Discar Contact]]

See a page without an image, or with an image that doesn't explain the {{trope}} very well? Go here to help choose a good picture.\\

The forum is generally easygoing. The {{troper}}s posting there are usually polite and friendly, and they probably won't give you any trouble. Conversations on any subforums other than "On-Topic Conversations", "Image Pickin' " and "Trope Repair Shop" tend to switch topics both quickly and frequently, so it's a good idea to read at least the last page of any thread to know what's going on right now.

This is not [[Website/FourChan /b/]], so please refrain from making offensive, badly spelled and completely random posts. There is no hierarchy in the forum, no post count nor join date, and everybody owes everybody the same amount of respect. A short list of rules may be found [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=365rl6gt9w6vijv1envyi76j&page=1 here]].

There are moderators, who want nothing more than to have nothing to do except chat like everybody else. However, they can and will delete or edit offensive or insulting posts, lock threads that have turned ugly, issue warnings and for unacceptable behavior. and they can forum-ban for repeated or excessive unpleasantness.

They're listed on the Administrivia/KnowTheStaff page, and you can PM any of them with requests for intervention if you feel it's necessary. At the top of each post is a yellow triangle icon, This is the Holler button; it sends a post to a mods-only thread. Use it to report posts that break the rules; to ask for a crowner to be hooked or unhooked, or for a thread to be locked; or to ask for a mod to take a look at something in the forums on an official basis. Since all of the mods can see a post in the Hollers thread, the response will generally be faster than [=PM'ing=] a particular mod and hoping that they're online.
