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.)

As much as the promise may be made in good faith, you just did it again in that post.
Can I be unbanned from editing? I've been improving my Grammar.

"Grammar" is not a proper noun and is not capitalized in this context. See?

So, I got in an edit war on the Fire Emblem Fates WMG page. I'm quite touchy on that subject of the character being discussed, and I didn't realize it was escalating that much. I'm deeply sorry for my transgressions. Fortunately, now that the entire argument was erased, there's no chance of it happening again.
Hi there, people. I have been recently suspended from editing. And I am sorry for the editing. I wasn't trying to vandalize whatsoever. I would want to understand how long will the suspension will cooldown, please. I'll use the preview button when I edit, so I'll make much less edits and cause no problems.

~Doctor T Itan X: You were changing "Black/White" to "dark/light-skinned" over the wiki, which is a completely pointless thing and comes off like some agenda or other.

OK. Thank you for letting me know. I'll stop doing that. I would love to edit again in the future, now that I Iearned the true reason why I couldn't today, please. Thank you. OK. I read and I don't have to send moderators private messages to let them know I responded well.

Bubblesishot 46853, you've been around for 3 years, and this is your third suspension. Saying "it won't happen again" is less than sufficient when you should have been around long enough to recognize and avoid edit warring.
I now learned from this and will not do it again. I won't say "try". I simply won't. Thank you, Septimus Heap.

Your suspension is lifted.
Excuse me, but I really don't understand why I was suspended. I would be very glad if you'd be king enough to explain why and possibly lift the ban.

~Unferth: We require an acceptable standard of English writing in order to edit the wiki, and you don't meet that standard. You also have a problem with Conversation in the Main Page. Our articles are not a chatroom.

True, but this is my first edit suspension, and I had lost common sense. Now that the fighting is over, it can't happen again even if I wanted it to.

I'm a writer of reviews and stuff on my DA; I think I know a thing or two about grammar.

Bubblesishot 46853, it seems like you get it, and your other bans are older. Hope not to see you in here again.

Not with grammar like that.

Hi
That's not even remotely an excuse.

~Conservative Pip: A personal blog is not evidence of good writing; it's just evidence that you can sign up for an account and type stuff into an edit box. Based on your last few posts in the Help with English thread (and here), you're a marginal case. If we release your suspension, and you keep making mistakes, you'll be banned permanently. Is that a risk you're willing to take?
~Damus2300: Let's return to the original topic. "I don't like something" is not sufficient reasoning for removing it. There must be a wiki policy violation, an incorrect usage of a trope, consensus from a sampling of tropers, or some other equivalent rationale, and you must state that rationale when making the deletion. If challenged, you must be willing to discuss it.
This has been our policy since time immemorial. Why are you only now learning it?

If that's the rule I'll obey. I won't edit it. I won't even look at it.

Don't be hyperbolic. We aren't in kindergarten here. All we ask is that you follow the rules: if something crawls up your ass and you feel the urge to get rid of it, ask people first if it's a good idea and get some agreement.

I stand by my words. I'm tired of arguing over this.

Fine, I'll release your suspension. Let's not do this again.

I contribute to the Puyo Puyo pages, but I've been banned for forgetting to end entries with punctuation. I've realised now that this is a problem and will strive to make sure it never happens again
