The administrators and moderators consider TV Tropes a separate source with their own standards, even though they're criteria for the trope/category is essentially the same. Therefore, they tend to get very annoyed when people add or propose a character simply based on the argument that "they're listed as a CM on TV Tropes", meaning they must be formally proposed and voted up here, even if they already were over there. It's just proper protocol, and you never know, the people who vote here might have a different overall opinion of certain characters like Warren. Does that make sense?
