This is the thread we use to talk things over with people who have received a suspension notice. A lot of the time the notice goes out just so we can explain how seriously we take certain things, not because we want the person to feel bad and go away.
If you're suspended, give What to Do If You Are Suspended a read, then post here to begin your appeal. We try to respond to appeals in order via batch posts every few days. If a moderator has responded to your appeal, you will receive a notification in your private messages, even if you're suspended from PMs.
The Forum Rules
apply here.
Don'ts
- Don't be rude. Rule 1 applies here, too.
- Don't try to negotiate your suspension outside of this thread, such as by sending Private Messages to moderators or posting elsewhere. Such activity may be thumped or otherwise removed, and may warrant an additional suspension block if it keeps happening. All communications have to take place within this thread.
- Don't respond to other suspended users. This is a place for you to discuss your suspension, not others'.
- Don't post multiple times about your appeal if it hasn't been a few days since your last reply from us, since it makes it more difficult to compose responses. If you've posted, we're likely looking at it, and kindly request you to be more patient.
- Don't make another account to try and get around your suspension. This is called ban evasion and will get you bounced. (Again, read What to Do If You Are Suspended if you don't know what these words mean.)

I presume I was thumped for shitposting.

Actually I have a request. Keep me post suspended for now and I'll just stay editing my pet pages until I feel I'm ready to talk to you guys.

Because honestly, I've had too bad of a day to be yelled at.

Trollblade: Can you keep the rudeness out of your posts, whatever your opinion of someone else's opinion is, and refrain from posting in threads just to state over and over again that you donj't like whatever the topic of the thread is?
Smythe: wasn't going to yell at you, but yeah, the posting ban was for continuing to shitpost in The Nunnery after you've been repeatedly told not to.

Actually, Tapey posted the exact post that i was suspended for. i spoke with a useer abouyt my behavior afterwards and decided when i wanna shitpost due to stress i will find somewhere other than tvt to do it.

Wide Eyed Wonderman
yeah, i've had a lot of stressful days as of late. you can keep me suspended for a bit if you need to but ill try to be more careful what i do when upset because shitposting and trolling tends to offend people
David Bowie 1947-2016
There's also the fact that on previous occasions when asked not to you responded with claims that said action constituted bullying and discrimination, as well as claiming that what you were doing isn't shitposting and that people are just smearing it that way because they don't like you.

Wisely said. Banging on that you don't get to make people talk about what you want them to is incredibly selfish. I'll try to beat that thought in.

Ok, Smythe, I'll lift the posting ban. But you're on your last chance. If you need to put a sticky note on your computer saying "Don't shitpost on TV Tropes, It'll get me banned" do it.
Trollblade, that sounds like you understand. I'll lift yours too, but you are also on your last chance.

I'm curious as to why I was banned. The only sections I write in are the Headscratchers (asking/answering questions) and I think I posted a review or two (which, writing-style-wise, aren't required to maintain the "voice" of the rest of the site).

You were using FanficRecs.Red Wall as a sandbox to develop your own fic. That's not what it's for.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
If I recall correctly, I think I was agreeing with some other guy who had a wall of text himself. Either way, that was a long time ago (I barely remember it). I'd respectfully request some kind of three-strikes banning rule, since that is certainly an outlier post in my grand scheme of things.
Ok,maybe I used first person mistakenly sometimes,and for this I am very sorry.But could you give me some (please,not just one)examples about my abyssal writing?I am not a native speaker,and giving me instructions to correct myself would be greatly appreciated.Aside from a certain YKTTW I did when I was really sleepy,I can remember no other example.But as I said,I am no native speaker,so I might foolishly do many mistakes without realizing.As for the first person thing,I can remember doing it sometimes,so I do not request examples and I sincerely apologize to the best of my capabilities.

@darrenw1: I didn't dig far enough back; I see you didn't make the entry originally but you did contribute to it. The suspension is a way to get you in to converse if we believe there's a problem. We offer multiple chances when there's no ill intent. I'll remove the suspension, and maybe you could help clean that article of the gushing and first-person natter.
@masterxehanort3: Here's an example from Fridge.One Piece. I don't really feel like going through everything that's wrong with it in this topic, but a very short list is: misspellings, improper spacing, use of first person, and use of spoiler markup when you specifically said you weren't going to mark spoilers. If you want it, or any of your other edits critiqued, feel free to visit this thread. It's your responsibility to write acceptably regardless of whether English is your native language.
- Warning:unmarked spoilers.There is one peaceful kingdom.It is nor terribly reach,but even the poorest man has something to eat.That kingdom has a king who,like the long line of kings before him,is unhumanly just.That king has a lonely dauther who can carry herself in a fight.One day,a shichibukai decides he wants the kingdom.He is a schemer,and a magnificent bastard,so he decides to use his resources to villify the king in order to "save"the kingdom ,becoming its hero and king in the process.Now for the million dollar question:am I talking about Alabasta or Dressrossa?Both:Dressrosa is what Alabasta could have been,the parralels are too much to ignore.That also casts rhe conversations between Crocodile and Donflamingo in the Whitebeard war in a new light:Oda had already constructed the parallel back then.As a last insult to the injury,the winning sides of bothsituatins,rulerwise speaking,are both,technically World nobles.These truly makes Dressrosa a dark mirror of Alabasta...

I never used it to justify it.I just mentioned it in passing in order to understand my mistakes.From your example,through,it seems that my problem is not "abyssal grammar"but "a hella lot of typos,why the (profanity)do you insist in editing late hours,you idiot?"At least this mean I have no hoes in my understanding of english (not accusing you,just being happy about myself).I promise I'll triple check my posts for mistakes next time.In the meanwhile,if nothing else,can you check the post I was itching to post for mistakes,so that I can get some peace of soul,understanding that I am not,in fact,lacking,but merely an irresponsible idiot?(wait...that's worse...oh,well,I won't hide from my mistakes). Before that,though,I must make certain you have read both Homestuck and Watchmen so that my cross-universe fic won't spoil you.
I apologize in advance for taking your time,and I also want to say I have no intention to be rude or make excuses,so please do not misunderstand my intentions.I am merely a sorry man who wants to make himself a better person

That post just there was riddled with errors.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Also,I didn't say there would be no spoilers,just that unmarked ones exist.After I finished with my , agreeably purple prose-like,main point,I saw no reason not to mark this last one.This is the only thing in your judgement I will disagree with,however,as you were deadly accurate for everything else,and I feel the need to apologize,once again,if I'm being rude.
Also,holes,not hoes.I would have edited it if it was a normal post.Damn I'm bad at typing.
...Anyway,I get your point.I sincerely apologize.What can I do to be forgiven?Assuming I haven't already blown my chances by making typos in my appeal,I mean...God,I'm so frikkin useless...
Hello, I've been banned for a little bit, and I would like to say that I am sincerely sorry for what harm and confusion I may have done, and that I'm learning about the proper way to edit properly. I honestly have no excuse other than that I was ignorant about the rules. I apologize.

masterxehanort3. If you will run the edits you want to make past he helpful folks in the Get Help with English Here thread until we're confident that you are able to write an example that doesn't need someone else to come behind it and clean up the errors, we'll lift the editing suspension then.
It appears that at least part of the problem is that you're relying on your spellchecker and it's not catching misspellings because the misspelling is itself a valid word. For instance, twice you used "abyssal" (having to do with a deep crevasse) where "abysmal" (horrible) makes more sense. They're both words, but the one you used doesn't make sense in the sentence you wrote.

@masterxehanort3: Your writing is abysmal. Bad grammar, improper spacing, bad spelling, first person, the works. It's intolerable for the wiki's standards.
