Wait, I thought Ctrl+Alt+Del was locked because of flamewars between the fans and the haters?

I don't know. Just going off of what RF said. Really, the less we think about Ctrl+Alt+Del, the better off we'll all be.

Another issue with TVTropes: For certain pages, they ban EVERYONE BUT THE CREATOR OF THE WORK from editting the page for certain pages.

wtf, really?
Wait, really? Can you verify this or provide an example? I ask because that is really, really, really, really bad and an obvious conflict of interest.

EDIT: Looking it over, it seems Buckley got banned from being sole editor. Looks pretty neutral now, but it definitely used to be edited by him. There're minor works edited by their creator, too.

If Tim Buckley's involved, yeah, that's to be expected. This guy has been known to vandalize the Wikipedia page for his own comic just so he could act vindictive about it.

From the looks of the page, it was locked because of edit wars/vandalism and the last 3 people to edit the page were all moderators and an admin.
