Reading and editing the site can be a fun experience, until you run afoul of the moderators who will then deliberately humiliate you by forcing you to post in what is essentially a penalty box thread of their forum, and explicitly beg forgiveness, even if there was a misunderstanding not your fault.
TV Tropes is an excellent site that provides an entertaining service - as well as one that's likely very useful to authors, game designers, animators, and any other media creators - for free. I like to browse TV Tropes whenever I need to kill some time, or when I want to see what my favorite games and shows look like through a more analytical lens. I've added some images of a TV Tropes page to illustrate how pages for popular pieces of media tend to look. (However, pages for less well-known works tend to be smaller simply because there are fewer people working on them, so keep that in mind.) In summary: Yeah, it's a good site. It does what it was made to do, and it does it well.
The mods are very mean towards those that don't fully agree with how they run things or their opinions. They simply ban them, even if they were helping the wiki. Many attempts by people to help the wiki have been rejected due to someone accidentally doing something wrong. Use another Tropes wiki like Tropedia for a much better experience.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use it. Use another tropes wiki.
I guess anime fans are more passionate because you will be overloaded with anime examples, no matter the trope. I don't really have much of an interest in anime because I never got into it, so I mostly use it for video game tropes.
It would be nice if they had more examples I could relate to but it is amusing anyway.
The new format is hard to read, the owners keep trying to force people to buy an ad pass, and main mods (Fighteer and Nombretado) target tropers to pick on. The website (and ads) give people viruses. Oh, and Fast Eddie is gone.
A lot of people have been migrating over to the Tvtropes fork, which, from what I've heard, is much better than the original. The old Tvtropes is hemorrhaging users.
Tip for consumers:
It's better for reading but not joining. Join the fork instead

Well for one jackasses (to TV trope) -ez surnames are white. Italians, French, Greeks are not (not that I've seen anyone who has suggest otherwise, but they're stupid so they might be thinking that). They also idiotically think "bro" is white slang. No it ain't. It's Latin (NUYORICAN - Puerto Ricans are Nuyoricans are not the same).

I want the CEO to insult me to my face, like his little mods who do his dirty work. I can probably steal his woman. No woman wants a little weiner traitor like him anyway. Anyways, the first ban I got I was never given a reason for it. And I've never broken a rule. I may have had disagreements with certain tropes. However... I've never broken any rule, and I always kept each trope in accordance to what the show or music or video or movie portrayed. Apparently a few people are incapable of doing their job.
Thirdly, in the wake of my banning, an $#*! by the names you'll see in the picture, didn't even address me, respectively by my name, and called me "ban evader." Twitter, instagram, Debate.org, youtube, have not treated me with this disrespect.
Beside, note to the CEO *pees on you* - I'm more famous than you bro! I've gotten likes from the likes of Sofia Coppola, the "Seinfeld" official Twitter (on Twitter), from other famous celebs. Not you. And to the two who called me that, girl is just bitter cause she secretly craves it with me, and the guy - well he's a loser who lives in his mom's basement.
