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.)

Okay, got it. I thought I was just adding information, but I see how that could be misconstrued.
So what now?

~Big Jared Monkey: As long as we've cleared the air, we can go ahead and release your suspension. Please take some time to read through Welcome to TV Tropes for more information about the types of content we permit.

It's been a day now, so some feedback would be nice.
Hello, I just notice that I was suspended. I'm very sorry. Please, remove my suspension.

Explain your actions on BaseBreaker.Fairy Tail first before releasing your suspension can be considered.
I think some characters are very popular especially the main character name Natsu.
Vy Huynh
A lot of forums that I read have positive comments about the characters. On the website www.myanimelist.net, I checked the character popularity and saw many anime fans love these characters. I didn't mean to cause any conflict.

Hi, I would like to request the return of my editing privileges. I believe I was suspended for "bringing an outside agenda to the wiki" and possibly "single-issue wonk" for editing phrasings on the Ambiguous Gender and Ambiguous Gender Identity pages, some of which (particularly "biologically male/female") are considered transphobic and inaccurate within the LGBT+ community. I believe it would have been an act of respect and decency to change these phrasings to something more widely accepted.
Please, remove my suspension. I didn't mean to cause a war.
Vy Huynh
Okay so I think I got everything I need to know about getting a suspension lifted. And thankfully I know how to index. As the time of this writing, I will be re-reading the indexing page throughougly to make sure I remember so that I won't get another suspension.
Thank you for letting my voice be heard. I deeply, deeply appreciate it. Thank you. Hope to hear back from y'all soon. Respond when you get this.
Sincerely yours, Jabberwocky 1996
EDIT: Whoops lol, wrong thread. 
Apologies!

I'm not really *that* interesting... Or a car salesman, for that matter.
Why am I suspended again? Couldn't I have gotten a heads up and a chance to defend myself?
~Damus 2300: Well, this is suspension number two for you, so I think you know how this works.
That said, what were you doing on Characters.The Wire Barksdale Organization?
"Yup. That tasted purple."
There were too many quotes. Just settle for one quote and stick with it...
Hello, I was suspended for making an edit that didn't have much detail. I wish to edit again but I'll provide more evidence and not tamper again without clear details. Thank you.
~Damus 2300: That's not a decision you get to make unilaterally.
~Assassin Altair: That and ignoring six separate reminders to actually add context to examples you post.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Ok, I'm sorry I'll stop editing without a clear explanation behind my actions. ![[nja]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/user_ninja_2074.png "[nja]"){kind=small}

~Ekuran: It would be very nice if we didn't have to see this sort of behavior from you again. I'll release your suspension.
~Vy Huynh 123: YMMV and related subpages are about documenting opinions. Because you don't like something is never an acceptable reason to delete it, and we require edit reasons for all deletions. Please look at Welcome to TV Tropes to see our other editing rules. Not following them again will get you permanently banned. Is that understood?
~Heralis: Our wiki is not a suitable place to conduct campaigns on behalf of any cause. We like to be informal about such things, but when conflicts arise over the use of language, we go by generally accepted standards for sites like ours, not what a particular group wishes to impose on people, no matter how valid their concerns may be. See also Descriptive vs. Prescriptive Language.
~Jabberwocky1996: I'll release your suspension. Please adhere to our editing standards in the future.
~Damus2300: And you decided this on the basis of what policy or rule?
~Assassin Altair: Why did you ignore PM notifications about your edits? We are very serious about requiring adequate context for all examples.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
I honestly didn't know how to add context to an example that's all.
It just looked like gilding the lily. If it's really so bad then I won't interfere again.
Thank you
Vy Huynh
Vy Huynh 123, your suspension is lifted.
Assassin Altair, a good rule is this: if a non-reader of the work can understand how it fulfills the trope, it has context. Compare:
- Staring Down Cthulhu: Mary does this to Yog-Sothoth
- Staring Down Cthulhu: Despite everyone else going mad from even looking at Yog-Sothoth, Mary instead walks up, refuses to look away, and doesn't even break a sweat. Yog-Sothoth stops its terrorizing as a result.

Was banned from the forum, would like permission to access the image picker portion.
Hi
You'd better have a damn good explanation for that crap you posted earlier, then.
~animefanboy67: On further review of your account, you also appear to be ban evading using a sockpuppet. This is an explicit violation of our terms of use, and as such you will be permanently banned.
