@Ranchoth:
Approval for everything sounds too hard. Policing isn't going to happen. Though I can say, if you do a good job of of telling people what to do, for the most part they do it. If you set a speed limit, for the most part people only go a few mph/kph above it.
As I said earlier, the core requirement for Troper Tales has to be a tale. If you're using only one sentence, that can't possibly cut it. But for the sake of argument, we'll go with Papa Hemingway's shortest short story: "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." There are still 3 acts in that -- introduction, rising action, climax/resolution.
The key questions we'd ask the user are: Does your tale have a plot? Does it build to a dramatic climax or comedic punchline? If the editor can answer yes to that, then it might be a good Troper Tale. The question for us here is: Can we trust editors to answer this about their own posts?
@Morganni: We could just allow liberal linking to the existing Troper Tales wiki; maybe even have an external link in our {{trope}} template?
