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.)

ah. I'm no longer running that extension.

~Clear_Runway: Let's hope so. I'll release your suspension.

Any update on my case?

I want to make it clear that we are not obligated to tolerate all points of view in our forums. With that in mind, I'll release your OTC suspension.

Sure. Don't pee in it any more.

I'm not going to ask for an unsuspension from OTC again, I know it won't happen.
However, I'm highly curious as to why I was considered a "highly misinformed troll". From my point of view it seems that because I did not hold staunchly Progressive Liberal views, I was deemed as such.
I'd like to know the exact logic that went into this second suspension, please.
Dangerous standard to set if you consider all non-Leftist ideas to be trolling or misinformed.

It's not a double standard to require reasoned debate in which the parties are willing to engage in sharing of ideas and listen to each other's points. When one individual is determined to talk at the topic and ignore arguments against their position, it is no longer a conversation.
To the extent that this is a right-left issue, it is simply the case that the right is more often to blame when it comes to ignoring arguments and inventing facts. I won't apologize for our stance in the matter.
Your OTC privileges are obviously not coming back. What remains at stake for you are the rest of your site privileges, conditional on your best possible behavior.

I'll gladly disagree with you on the Right ignoring facts more often, but that's neither here nor there.
As I said, I won't argue my suspension.
"By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion."
I've been suspended. I would appreciate if you would kindly tell me why?

This is also wiki suspension number three. Which more or less means you're done now.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Would you kindly elaborate?

No point in elaborating. You wrote and edit warred over a giant, poorly written, nattery wall of text. This is your third time for this sort of behavior. You're done.

Would you kindly inform me what "done" constitutes in this context?
Sensemaker
"Done" means that you won't be unbanned another time. Evidently, you cannot stop nattering or edit warring even after previous warnings and bans.

It's amusing how often people repeat the behavior that got them suspended in the Edit Banned thread. Anyway, you do not get to dictate the terms of your ban. Thankfully, we have the means to shut off the spigot of words.

To whom it may concern,
I have recently been blocked from edits. It is my assumption that this is because I have written too many unflattering things about creators, something I know I have a bad habit of doing. I'm writing to find out if this suspension can be appealed and how. If it's lifted, I promise to be more considerate when editing.
Thank you for your time
~NWolfman: Actually, the issue is that you are violating Example Indentation in Trope Lists egregiously. Subbullets are not for commentary or elaboration nor are they used lonely.

Thanks for clarifying. Any idea when I could get back to editing?
Um, I'm not actually sure why I was suspended. I only made one edit, and it's still there. could a mod or someone please shed some light on what I did wrong?
