See here for Nightmare Fuel
, which has frequent enough problems to deserve a thread of its own.
A while ago, I made a thread for cleaning up Nightmare Fuel pages, since they tend to attract all sorts of gushing about anything vaguely unsettling, as well as violations of Example Indentation and the Spoiler Policy among other problems. Well, other Moments pages have similar issues, though to a slightly lesser extent, so they may as well have a cleanup thread too.
"Moments" reactions should:
- Be free of spoiler tags, in accordance with the Spoilers Off policy which states that:
Fridge, Headscratchers, and the various Moments subpages (Tear Jerker, Moment of Awesome, etc.) are for post-viewing discussions. Spoiler tagging there defeats the purpose of the articles. You shouldn't be going there if you are worried about them.
- Be based on things that actually have happened, not things that could happen, will happen, or might have happened. Speculation belongs only on the Wild Mass Guessing pages.
- Have affected the writer of the entry themselves. If you don't find something funny or sad, let someone who did add it to Funny Moments or Tear Jerker.
- Elicit a strong reaction. Not every single time a character accomplishes something is an Awesome Moment, not every attempt at comedy is a Funny Moment, not every time someone does something nice is a Heartwarming Moment, and not every unhappy event is a Tear Jerker.
- Explain why they're so awesome/funny/sad: Zero Context Examples aren't allowed on this wiki. Your description should allow anyone to understand your reaction.

Removed them.
Command&Conquer: Red Alert 2[1]'s Funny Moments Page has this:
I have a couple of questions:
1) What's the policy on Fan Myopia within the Funny Moments pages? Is it considered acceptable, or is it to be deleted?
2) If it's not allowed, does the reference to The Matrix count as Fan Myopia here? Unlike the Psychonauts example, it came out before "C&C: Yuri's Revenge" did, but the time distance is narrow enough that I have to wonder if it truly counts.
Lots of coffee
TearJerker.Rhythm Heaven has two images, already bad form, and I don't know if I'm thrilled with either. Might require a thread since there's two to choose from?
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

This seems like a discussion for the Image Pickin forum.
he/him
Yep. If it's got two images, that should be a dedicated thread.
Don't think so. It's assuming what James feels.
