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.)

Hey, I noticed I was suspended for the edit war over the YMMV page for Mass Effect Andromeda. I realized that I was being rude. I would like to apologize for my behavior. I'll do my best not to do it again.

Thanks for coming in. Before releasing, please confirm you understand how to best resolve a disagreement instead of edit-warring. What would you do?
If I can, I'll take it up to Discussion. Also, I'll do my best to be civil. If we're not able to come to an agreement, dropping the subject would be best in my opinion.

Yep. You're all set.
Cool. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Hi, when I tried to edit a page just now, a message popped up that said I was suspended, and I don't really know why. How do I rectify this? Thanks.
Hello
Lord of All Mankind
Sorry, I've whitelisted TV Tropes in XKCD substitutions.
Hello
Hi
Good. Your suspension is released; happy troping. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
I am not entirely sure I was banned. There's a multitude of things. Maybe I tried to enforce my crazy theories one too many times. But I have tried my best. I would like to know what I am doing incorrectly. I understand my frequent ZC Es, but I always make an effort to fix them. And I was actually going to send something to ask what I'm doing wrong, and why some of my posts are getting deleted.
I want to get back, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, so I can't realize what I have to fix.
So just tell me at some point, okay? That'd be nice.
How sweet it is
You appear to have issues with Example Indentation, along with some natter.

I see. I've been trying to work on that. Thanks for informing me. I have had that kind of problem often. I'll examine what I write more carefully next time.
Is something the matter?
I was suspended for unknown reasons. Can you explain?
What happened? Why am I not allowed to post anymore!?
How sweet it is
First, you made extremely pointless posts in the Pokémon Sun and Moon thread, then you decided to harass another user across multiple sites. We cannot allow that.
~Riley1s Cool
Okay then; I'll go lift your suspension. Happy tropinng.

Mr.
I apologize for my behavior. Even for such small edits, I realise that i was unnecessarily persistent.

~Masta Sys: I presume you're referring to Characters.Dragon Ball Super. Yes, it's super trivial; also, it's an Edit War. We don't tolerate that.
~More Face: Also, you apparently took to this campaign of harassment after you were forum banned for shitposting, so I'm really not finding much to be pleased about with your behavior. Oh, and there's the matter of making tons of subpages for your troper page, which, while not bannable, is definitively against site policies. I've cut them.

Mr.
Yes, i understood. And I hope to regularize my situation, if there's any kind of extra requirement involved i'll do my best, thank you.
Lost in Space
~Masta Sys: No, we just wanted to get the message across. Please don't do it again. There will be less tolerance for a repeat.

Hi, I was wondering if I could be unsuspended, please?

I would like to know what have I gotten suspended for
Apathy is Death. Worse than Death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds beasts and insects.
Hi
~NNewt84 - Not without a satisfactory explanation of what you were doing on The Igor.
~Tharkun140 - You added a Real Life section to Evil Versus Evil despite that page being a No Real Life Examples Please page.

Unlike on some pages, I saw no clear indication that real life examples were prohibited on this particular page.

You need to understand that a given editor using "him/her" instead of the singular "they" is not necessarily them intentionally participating in the erasure of non-binary individuals. I am sure you understand that the idea of non-binary individuals is still very much not mainstream, as is the use of singular "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun, and thus it is likely that the editor in question is simply not aware when they add content.
However you also need to understand that we cannot alter the wiki to cater to the needs of a single user in this way. This is not a matter of deliberate discrimination (In fact we have a fairly active LGBT community on the wiki including a number of non-binary editors).
I would also advise that if the use of gendered language does make you feel this way that you should seek professional help as it seems like a symptom of a much larger issue.
