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.)

Edit: Fighteer got that one. Anyways, if you see those, chances are we don't want real life examples.

Alright I guess. I will keep that in mind. Can I get that suspension removed somehow?

Yes, but please pay attention to article context when editing. We don't accept ignorance as an excuse.

Why was I suspended? I understand about the TRS thing, but the changes I was making to the article weren't major, they were just editing out misuse of the term. Definition was the same, examples were mostly the same, just re-writing them a bit to remove mis-use. In fact, i remember a mod saying that my plans "sounded fine" so what was the problem? I did the same thing on several other pages (What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?, Were Still Relevant Dammit, Creator Killer, First Law of Tragicomedies, Getting Crap Past the Radar, and more) without needing any permission and without any trouble, so why was this such a big deal?

The fact that you basically ignored the TRS decision and decided to enforce your changes anyway.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
But that was all a big misunderstanding. It wasn't about changing the description, that was a mistake. It was about misuse of the definition beyond what the definition was, and the decision made was that the description was clear, not that it wasn't mis-used.

When will i be able to get the suspension removed? Or will this be permanent?

This isn't really an appeal so much as an apology. I'm sorry if I've caused any trouble in the past with my lack of indexing. I'm truly, deeply sorry if I've accidently caused problems. I'll make sure that next page I create will be indexed properly. I've been looking over the "How to Index" page you've sent multiple times. It's been very helpful. Thank you so much for sending it to me. You guys have been very kind.
I look forward to this editing suspension being lifted cause it's been going on for almost a month but it feels longer. I'll go through and read the indexing page a few more times so I make sure I remember how it works so I won't get suspended again.
Thank you so much for reading this. You guys are amazing. 
Sincerely yours, Jabberwocky 1996. 
When can I edit again?

Jabberwocky 1996, you also had zero context examples and mark-up issues, both of which have yet to be addressed here. Can you clarify what's wrong with this example?
- [[Main/{{Bowdlerise}} Bowdlerise]]: Zig-zagged. Some of the "inappropriate content" will be censored but other times it won't. Make of that what you will.

Can you promise not to bring back your issue with Seinfeld Is Unfunny's description? If so, you'll be good to go.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope Report
Sure thing. It's not the description, though, it's the misuse.

You need to prove that there is misuse. We do that with a wick check. See this page for more info.
If you can provide a wick check here, you will be set if the misuse is considerable.

I assume I got suspended because of a text-substitution plugin mistake I made. I fixed the problem right after and I am deeply sorry for the mistake. I have since removed the plugin and would like to edit again.
That's the crux of it. Since you claim to have removed the plugin there's no need to keep you suspended any more.

I'll do a wick check.

It's already been two years i've been being suspended for some wrong reasons, the ban should be lift around a week, or a month. Under Night In Birth Character page needs some edit because there's now Mika character there. Battride War also needs some edit on its main page about the Final Boss is not named Genesis King, but named Creation King (the antagonist from Kamen Rider BLACK)

You've not been unsuspended because you never came here to appeal it, and last September is not "two years".
In addition, "you need to unban me because there's edits that I need to make" doesn't fly here.
Finally, suspending someone for starting an Edit War is not "wrong reasons". The fact that your edits display marked grammar problems also does your case no favours.

What’d I get suspended for?
Lost in Space
~Svarti Kotturinn: Would you care to explain why you saw fit to add disparaging comments to the Discussion pages for various creators, such as here?
Lost in Space
~What Art Thee: We expect you to do the work to support an effort to correct a misused article. It is my personal opinion that the fundamental issue with Seinfeld Is Unfunny is the title, which is non-indicative. This always creates the potential for misuse, and leads to the kinds of problems you seem to have with it. Regardless, if consensus does not support the change you wish to make, you do not have permission to charge off and make it yourself.
I'll release your suspension, but you'd better not pull a repeat.

I can’t see the discussion. As for Bowie, I found a few sources corroborating that he slept with two underage fans of his, and I believe it merits mention, same way, say, Bill Cosby and his atrocities do. I came to ask how to do so.
