Hello, to kick things off the metaphorical ground here. First let me introduce myself, I'm Spain Sun, troper, and person. Here, in my FIRST EVER liveblog we will be cataloging the attempts of various Wiki (and sometimes forum) banned individuals to regain their status as non banned individuals. Some of them will succeed, others will fail. Here, we are far more concerned with the latter. Because we lack pity, and are general jackasses who like to laugh at other jackasses.

OKAY. LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

The first post in the thread is by an individual named G Car 77, politely asking to have his edit ban lifted. His request is granted, and due to a mumbling of discontent about the number of banlift-request threads by way of Dorkus. The thread is stickied, becoming the impromptu thread for banned tropers to plead their cases before the almighty Fast Eddie.

The first case of ignorance comes to us from a "Van Hohenheim" (FMA fan? You have good taste in anime at least, my friend) he asks to have his editing privelages reinstated after—as it turns out—edit warring over an image. Fast Eddie's response is swift, and powerful.

Editing warring about an image and ignoring a request to discuss the change, which had been marked in the article as being under discussion.

Life is too short to waste on that kind of thing. So ... no.

Don't feel too stung, Van. That is nothing compared to what pops up on page 2.

An anonymous-avatarer named "Esau" appears on the thread's second page, asking if his "friend" (which here we can presumably read as "main account") has been banned. We later find out he has removed almost everything from the School Days page. Silly vandals.

Well that's all for now, folks. Join us next time when we Laugh at idiots together! If you'd like to follow Edit Banned yourself, the thread is here. So long! Stay cool, Tropers.

Ahh, Chuck G. I remember trying to clarify the situation to him, but all he took was "So other people can delete my stuff?!?"

Some people just don't quite grasp that whole thing about how a wiki works, it would seem. Chuck is definitely one of them, he's one of the more entertaining for a while in that thread, if memory serves :D

Heh. Good use of the war joke, although I think you should have ended it with a bigger bang (first thing off the top of my head is genocide / armageddon, but that might be too big).

What happened to Page 2?

This is great, I can't wait 'till you get to some of the really obnoxious assholes so I can laugh at them again.
