%% This is an Administrivia article. Do not edit without moderator approval.
If you're seeing this article, you're either browsing the {{Administrivia}} index or you got suspended from one or more site activities, and clicked on the link on the suspension message. Thanks for that, by the way! You're on the way to getting this resolved.
!Why was I suspended?
The first question you're probably asking is why you got a suspension. The answer depends on what part of the site you were trying to use, but in general, it means you broke one of our rules or caused a problem that we need to deal with. You may have gotten a private message about whatever the issue is, but you may not. In our experience, tropers don't always respond to [=PMs=], and we need the thing you're doing to stop so other people don't have to spend as much time fixing it.
Most of the time, a suspension doesn't mean, "We don't like you;" it means, "Come talk to us."
!!Common suspension reasons on the wiki:
* Persistent problems with ConversationInTheMainPage, WordCruft, grammar and spelling, Administrivia/ExampleIndentationInTropeLists, and other style rules.
* {{Edit War}}s
* Rudeness in edit reasons, discussion threads, or even in the articles themselves.
* Blanking, vandalizing, or [[BluenoseBowdlerizer bowdlerizing]] articles.
* [[SingleIssueWonk Bringing an outside agenda to the wiki]].
!!Common suspension reasons on YKTTW:
* Improperly launching or discarding tropes.
* Taking over someone else's YKTTW when it is not Administrivia/UpForGrabs.
* Rudeness or arguing.
* Persistent failure to understand what [[{{Trope}} is]] and [[Administrivia/NotATrope is not a trope]].
!!Common suspension reasons on the forums:
* Extreme or persistent rudeness.
* Accumulating a large number of thumps, to the point where we believe that you aren't getting the message.
* Spamming, trolling, or otherwise deliberately disrupting the forums.
!How long does it last?
The second thing you're asking is, "Am I permanently banned? How long will this last?" We don't have a fixed length of time on suspensions. They last until we're satisfied that the problem won't happen again. You need to come and ask us; don't just assume that it'll be removed at some point.
Sometimes we do issue a "cooldown" suspension of a few days or weeks, but you still have to talk to us first.
!How do I appeal?
The third thing you're asking is how to appeal the suspension. That's easy. Go to [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=5cma6iojg5o27puhulc24sje this forum thread]]. Go the last page, click "Add a post", and type in your request. We ask that you remain polite. We'll be more inclined to treat you favorably if you show that you're willing to work with us.
For a forum suspension, you can't use that thread. Instead, you may send a private message to a moderator (see Administrivia/KnowTheStaff for names and PM links), or send an email to thestaff@tvtropes.org.
While you wait for a response, you may wish to review Administrivia/WelcomeToTVTropes, Administrivia/TVTropesCustoms, Administrivia/YKTTWGuidelines, and the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=365rl6gt9w6vijv1envyi76j forum rules]].
!Permanent bans
In the circumstance that you find all of your privileges removed, to the point where you can't access the forums, edit the wiki, or do anything else, we have decided that your behavior has caused sufficient problems that we don't want you back. These bans are forever.
You have a last resort. Send an email to thestaff@tvtropes.org and make a polite case for your appeal. Bear in mind that the resulting decision will be final.
!Ban evasion
It's very simple. If you make a new account to get around a suspension, you will be permanently banned, both on the new account and any other accounts you may have. This is not negotiable.
