How about people using the same old cliches - plots that are so cliched that the admins and mods have posted articles ranging from "Don't use these unless you can breathe new life into this trope" to "Don't use these plots"? What's the thinking there? "Hey, this is cliched [if not outright prohibited on this site] and I'm not bringing anything new to it, but I'll post it and it'll become a big hit because I'm so special!" Was that too harsh?
