Nattered to death

For some reason, I keep on getting pinned by the mods for "natter", whenever I post something. Just recently, for example, I got hit with a warning for "natter" on the trope Face–Heel Revolving Door, something I don't ever remember doing. Exactly what is considered "natter" to these mods? So far, my posts have been succinct and free of anything that could be considered "topic discussion material", so what the hell?

This is what you added to Heel–Face Revolving Door. How is that not natter?

Natter is Conversation In The Main Page. For the Heel–Face Revolving Door edit, you started a point with "Not really", which is almost always a violation of Repair Dont Respond - if the point above your edit isn't true, it should either be rewritten or deleted.

Exactly, Repair Dont Respond! If you think an example doesn't demonstrate the trope, just delete it and explain your reasoning in the edit reason. The pages are there to collect examples, not to discuss them. Or, for that matter, trying to justify a characters behavior, another big source of natter.

Additionally, you should read How To Use Bullet Points. A double bullet point that doesn't follow those rules is going to be wrong.

This Is A Wiki, not a message board.

I don't see a problem with what I posted, but then again, I'm not a freaking mod. I just don't like how I keep on getting hit with this kind of crap seemingly every single time I post something on a trope page.

And before anyone goes on about "you should learn how to post, nah nah nah", I'm just saying that I seem to be singled out with the natter accusations more often than not, when I post, which is getting really annoying. It's almost like the mods have their own opinion on what is natter and what isn't.

Then stop posting until you learn the rules of how to properly post on the wiki. The alternative is losing the ability to post at all. It is your responsibility to learn how we do things here.

Then learn what you're doing wrong and stop doing it. About five posters in a row have explained what about your edits makes them natter.

Edit: Ninja'd.

I don't post that often, but when I DO, I usually get hit with the natter accusation, which is total BS; THAT is what I'm complaining about, the singling-out. Most of my stuff is NOT natter, but the mods don't seem to see it that way, like they have their own definition for it, and I'm sick of being slapped with it almost each time I post. SO maybe it's the mod's issue to deal with and not mine, hmm? This isn't the first time I've used a wiki, and I DO know how to put in a proper post. Besides, I thought this was an INFORMAL wiki, not as strict with its rules as The Other Wiki was.

Since you feel that way, your editing privileges are now gone. Bye. Locking this thread as well.
