Oh, all right, but I still can't edit the Cut List for that, so may I be un-banned?

Sure.

Alright, acknowledged, and I'll try to change that. Can I have a new chance?

So.... when am I allowed to edit again? As noted, I have been suspended for poor spelling for a while now.

Alright, so I've just been suspended. Would you please tell me what my violation is and how I can work this out? I'd appreciate it very much.

edited 2nd Nov '12 8:46:41 PM by primeyandereheika

Alright, thank you. I was unaware that I wasn't supposed to clear history.

So, if I want this particular page deleted, I ask for it to be put on the cut list. I understand that now and the next time it happens I will remember this. I just went about it the wrong way.

Could I possibly have my editing powers back, please? I'll proceed with more caution.

Yes, I admit I deleted it previously before, but like I said, I was unaware I wasn't supposed to do that and wasn't called out for it or even suspended the first time and had I had, I would have avoided doing it again. But like you have just told me, I should have put it on the cut list (which I did not know about). I was not trying to vandalize the page.

I apologize for any ignorance on my part. May I please be allowed to have my editing powers back and have the suspension revoked?

I do now understand that being the author of a work that I created a page for doesn't give me the right to blank it out. I also apologize for any reason I offended to you. I really enjoy editing this wiki, it's become almost something like a pastime to me. I'm also rather hellbent on avoiding this happening ever again.

Or I could just go back to just reading the TV Tropes entries again and not edit and just ask if one of you mods would be so nice enough to place the Denpa Teki The Abridged Movie on the Cut List for me, please?

I could also just keep up the page and restore the YMMV section and just trim down the introduction a bit.

Thank you very much. Like I said I'll avoid trying to get suspended again and I have added back the YMMV page for that page. Because you said that adding this one to the Cut List was a little more fuzzy, I decided I'll just edit the introduction a bit to explain why it's not online anymore.

You have a good day.

I will do my best to learn from my mistakes, now can I please be unsuspended?

erh. i got banned for...well.. not being a very good editor frankly. could someone add these tropes to teh page for divinity 2?

: Disproportionate retribution: one Dragon Knight turns traitor, humanity's response? exterminate them and their dragon masters. you know? the being who probably created your world, and are responsible for teaching your ancestors about writing and other stuff?

i get the feeling that larian was going for the somewhat non-PC message that too much religious faith makes you stupid or something? i mean, the black ring was still out there, and mankind opted to start ANOTHER war? i get the feeling the Divine has been face-palming a fair bit from within his prison... 2: insane troll logic: ok, a single Dragon Knight went rouge and assassinated the divine, they must be plotting with the ring! kill them all! seriously, humanity? i know religious zealotry makes some people stupid, but still, its a pretty big leap of logic from a singe (mind-controlled) traitor to kill em all and let the gods sort them out. or maybe something talking about paranoia. i dont know. again, if i got my editing rights restored and tried to make an entry myself, id probably bork it big-time.

if you can phrase those two in a better way then me, be my guest. something so emphasize how, over the top the slayers policy is. i mean, one of their own gets turned into a dragon knight against their will,and despite their new powers, have experienced absolutely NO change in personality or beliefs, and your response is to attempt to kill them?

on an unrelated note, are their any Mass Effect 3 multiplayer player who want to mention the current bugs in multiplayer? specifically the game-breakers? (biotic charge failure, magnet-arm sync-kills, the geth being horrifically unbalanced and the unacceptable instability of both the in-game multiplayer store and the origin client?

again, sorry for my fail at editing. i guess i have a tendency to go on rants.

Hi, I just tried to edit a page a little while ago and found I that I my editing was suspending. I'd like to know what I did wrong so that I can fix it and be able to edit again please.

Got banned because I had an altercation with another editor who was editing a page I created to house my story. Was annoyed that day and not necessarily happy about people coming along and editing the pages I made when I'm trying to learn from my own mistakes. I was however being rather unfair to this person who more than likely thought they were doing what was best and my being territorial and thinking I know best, especially when it comes to my own stories, is an acknowledged flaw of mine. I did not handle the situation properly and must acknowledge that I'm not the only person on this website. I'm sorry. Can I edit again, please?

Alright, had editing privileges revoked. Which means I'm not allowed to discuss things. If I didn't know better, I'd say someone was getting sand in their reproductive organs over a valid request.

I presume it's over me and my recent request(s) to cut a fanfiction work page on behalf of the work's author, by request. Which is ridiculous. I see above in this thread, a user was banned for blanking, and told to use the cut list. I skipped to the cut list step, not looking to vandalize the wiki, and rather than be rewarded with getting what we wanted in the first place, we're told "no" for no reason other than, I quote, "No fucking way is an author going to censor us.".

I'll gladly shut up and go back to lurking or even get out of here forevermore, but not before I get what I came here for, which is to get The Conversion Bureau: A Kinder World removed, as requested by the author of the story, Silvertie. He does not wish to be a part of this site or associated with it in any real capacity, hence his passing of the job to me.

He's quite serious about this one, and as his friend, I am as well.

Before we proceed with any sort of discussion, answer this: if someone were to make a forum thread to discuss said fanfic, would the author request that we delete it as well?

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - Fighteer

He can't whine about what he doesn't know about. Sadly, he's aware of the trope article here because the creator linked him, so he's probably going to keep an eye on it to make sure it either dies permanently, or stays buried. And if it resurfaces, he'll probably rope me into doing his dirty work. Again.

He probably wouldn't ask for a forum thread to be deleted; forum threads are temporary. But again, he's gotta know about it first to whine about it. And I sure as hell have no intention of mentioning this site to him ever again once this business is over and done with, it ain't worth it.

He wanted me to take the polite, proper approach via. the cutlist to get this done quickly and quietly, with minimal fuss. And somehow it's turned into the noisy, messy job it has become, and the fuss ain't ending.

Alright, let's clear a few things:

The people who were instructed to use the Cut List are different cases. Serocco wanted to delete an unpublished work. That means this work does not exist anywhere that is available to the public, only in the author's head. The author uses the page as something of a rough scketch in his head, and the page isn't to be linked anywhere on the wiki. If an author wishes to be rid of an unpublished work page, we allow it, since it doesn't actually exist.

The second case, primeyandereheika, requested the removal of a work page since the movie in question has been deleted from the internet, so it is unavailable to the public. This case is fuzzier.

Neither of those apply to this case. As the fanfic in question is available for anyone to read, the wiki can have a page on it. Who makes it, when and why are irrelevant. No author, paid or not, can prohibit the existence of a page. Thus, the removal has to be declined.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - Fighteer

This is not what he wanted to hear. Here's what he's got to say:

"Fine. You fuckers win, I'll delete the story, if you'll delete the article."

He doesn't seem to be backing down, and the story's already no longer visible on the site.

EDIT: In addendum, I don't think I need to be unbanned now. Given how the site and it's users seem to think and act, I'm thinking I might not want to be part of this site, either. Lu 127, you've probably been the most polite and reasonable, but you seem to be a minority here. Farewell.

I know I am bad with that but I was truly trying to add in more information about the topics. I'm really sorry about not placing the tropes under the correct tabs. I had been away on deployment for a while and didn't realize that a few of them had moved to their own tabs. The Fridge one is just me being idiotic though and I don't have an excuse for that.

As soon as I noticed the ban and read through some of the earlier posts I realized that I am completely guilty of adding third bullets far too often. I understand why that's a bad thing and I get that it is better to simply edit a bullet rather than build a new one.

I do use those phrases but I didn't realize that wasn't liked here. It is just the way I talk. I'll try to be better about it in the future and keep it out of edits.

I was edit suspended, and I am not sure why. If I did something wrong, I am not sure what it was, but rest assured that I will avoid it in the future (once I know what it was that I did).

I've been edit banned for months. Can't even recall why. (I believe it was some trope image edit scuffle or something)

Didn't bother me since I'm not that big on editing and most things look OK anyway. But I would like the edit privilige back as I recently noticed 2-3 tropes that could use some more examples.

My editing privileges was suspended because of a rule that I was unaware of. Had I known this beforehand, I would have avoided the problem (it doesn't help that no one personally had a problem with the way I was editing until recently). I would like to edit again.

edited 6th Nov '12 8:30:10 AM by Coolman

I will look at the Tips Worksheet page before editing anything else. Thanks for the second chance, it is very much appreciated. I'll try not to make you regret it later.

So not sure how to word this. Mainly, I need to know if the suspension was for me editing the page for my own freakin' webcomic, or for my edits elsewhere. If it's for my own webcomic page, then I've got a lot to talk about, to say the least.

If it's for edits elsewhere, then that I don't get, since as far as I can tell, I follow the edit rules. I try to keep the voice consistent (1), I don't much use the spoiler tag (2), I don't add in any example I haven't done the research to make sure fits (3), it's been at least a year since I abused bullet points (5), I've only been editing smaller articles so I know the examples aren't already there (6), I don't put my opinions in (7), I tend to clearly define to the best of my ability the nature of the trope applying to the work (8), I do my best to convey information that the reader doesn't know (in fact, I've advocated for it)...

I don't always explain things in as much detail as they should be, and sometimes I use unnecessary words since the most concise way of phrasing things doesn't always occur to me, but again, I do what I can to make sure it's both informative yet brief, on other pages.

The only thing I can really think of for editing pages outside my own webcomics' is that I don't format something quite correctly, and even then, I do my best to follow the formatting to my understanding of how formatting works. (I've read that page dozens of times, after all. I can't really memorize everything, but I can't see how that'd be the cause.)

And if it was editing my own webcomic's TV Tropes page, then while a lot of the stuff in the above is the same, there's a lot more specifics I imagine need to be covered. (For instance, I strongly suspect a lot of the edits other people have made were made without having actually looked at the webcomic itself, a type of Did Not Do The Research you could say. Research that I, as the creator of said webcomic, obviously already know.)
