So Bad, It's Horrible is one of the more flame-bait-y parts of the site, so a cleanup thread is needed to ensure that works aren't added simply because someone doesn't like them.
If you want to list a work under this, keep the following in mind:
- The work must have very few fans or defenders (both genuine and ironic). It should fail to appeal to any type of audience.
- Being offensive in its subject matter isn't enough.
- It isn't horrible just because a certain critic disliked it, though their reviews can be used as sources and citations.
- The work should have notably poor reviews (e.g., less than 3/10 on IMDb, or single digit scores on Rotten Tomatoes)
- For a Moral Substitute to qualify, it cannot even appeal to its target demographic.
- Please be polite while writing and as much as possible, avoid falling into Complaining About Shows You Don't Like. Instead, focus on explaining why the work is horrible.

x2 Maybe something like:
Please do not remove mentions of works or links to works unless the content violates one of TV Tropes' rules or the link is broken. Works are treated independently of creator controversy.
Just off the top of my head. Might need some tweaking.

I hid this a few weeks ago:
- Asgha! Oh my god, Asgha! Although this was just a regional advert - it was shown on the Yorkshire Television part of ITV - this mid-08's to early 90's slab of horribleness was the horrible advert de nos jure of children and teenagers. Basically, it was just random shots of tights and stockings (no Rule 34 here, they were disgusting.) and the warehouse they were sold from, while an annoying voice screaming Asgha,Asgha,Asgha with heavy echo laid over it. I am scarred forever....
Does the ad qualify, or is it more So Bad, It's Good? Is this worth fixing, or should it be canned?

At the very least, we need to delete the first person part.

It would help if I knew what the commercial is for or where I can find it.

That reminds me, Horrible.Advertising has an "Ad Types" section that entirely violates Examples Are Not General. Should I take a chainsaw to the folder?

The entry or the ad types?
Not Sherlock Holmes
Ad types. Entry could also use some chainsawing, but maybe it qualifies?

Proposing some qualifiers for the promotions folder in other. Any qualify?

noting that i removed from Horrible.Game Show an instance of someone calling a real person (TV personality Lisa Rinna) But Not Too Black. it's been there since before the page was split off; ill see if i can find it in the main Horrible.Live Action TV section.

I've been coping with and even helping frequent SBIH editor Awesomereesee under the belief that he is a kid and/or new. However, he just got in an edit war on Webcomics and unhid some entries on Anime without explanation. What do we do? I still believe from his grammar that he is a kid. I don't want to hurt his feelings. I did dm him.

edit warring is edit warring, and if someone isn't mature enough to edit the wiki responsibly then they're not allowed to edit at all.

Yeah, if they don't stop after this PM, you should take it to the mods. Young or not, they need to be stopped.

TheFallofEldorado is back and replacing all the Cinema Snob links with Smeghead again. We must take action... after I sleep of course. Watching the horrible pages for activity at midnight... woof.

Where are the Smeghead links, exactly? I need to know where they are so I can replace them.
“Now! Let us engage in the art of deduction!”
Darkwing Goose
We don't have to replace them per say, we just have to add the NC and Cinema Snob links back in. Or maybe not. In other words, I have no clue.

Darkwing Goose
If it helps you find the stuff in case you do want to replace it, Smeghead's show is called Cinematic Excrement.

Does Another Life qualify? It has a 4.8 on Imdb and a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes,but some people still want a second season despite hating it for some reason. Is it So Bad, It's Good?

I have the main commercial for a bank service called Nipper. It features a talking snake with a human female's head.
Also a series of some ads from a Brazilian shoe retailer named Star\'s Chic. Some of them can be Nightmare Fuel to start.
Darkwing Goose
Nipper may qualify. It's really creepy and not in a good way, not to mention poorly animated.
Star's Chic I have seen many times via Cursed Commercials and I personally find hilarious and So Bad, It's Good.
