Edit banned/Suspended - would like to edit again.

Go To

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 spam the thread about your appeal, 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.)

@GastonRabbit

I legit forgot about the ban in the meantime.

That specific mention about "admitting it" on Basil Of Baker Street propably refers to how i put on the notes that i had looked up the list of books from Wikipedia and i put the books in the order Wikipedia listed them in, despite all of the publishing years not lining up with that. That particular edit was literally just the list of the installments in the series.

The other instances, though... yes, i'm guilty. What should i do?

While I don't believe I'm ready to review my edit ban yet, given how I'm still practicing wiki protocols, I would like to discuss my review ban. Though I don't know the exact reason for it, I believe it came from me commenting passive-aggressive necroposts.

~Igneous Poppy — I'll lift your suspension.


~Nukeli — How about a resolution not to do that again? If we lift your ban and you are caught plagiarizing, you will be permanently suspended.
~CASC Hero — Will you drop the persecution complex and the "but the last notifier was in March" angle? Again, you had 16 grammar notifiers and were still making errors after the last one. We have suspended people with far fewer notifiers if they were still making mistakes.

Folks are busy; things slip through the cracks all the time. But if you continue to do nothing but snipe at the moderation here in EB your ban will be permanent.


~Tropers/Idiosyncratic — That is indeed the reason. Just as we frown on pointless necro-ing of forum threads, we also frown on pointless necro-ing of reviews (or we would, except nobody does it). There is also the angle that you kept doing it after being told to stop by other commenters, which I'll note also happened with your edit ban.

@Synchronicity: Fine, but seriously, I just want some confirmation in the other thread, that's all. I'm not trying to waste either of our times here jumping back and forth over a delayed response. So you can imagine if I'm a little frustrated right now. All I'm asking for is some cooperation so I can get this done and we can both be happy. This isn't an insult, this is me being civil.

Acknowledged. I apologize for necroposting on reviews and promise to refrain from it in the future, so I hope that's all. I'll return to discuss my edit ban after some more practice.

CASC Hero, we were asking for you to cooperate by posting in the Get Help with English thread, but between your thumped post and the fact that you seem to be unwilling to cooperate, you have been bounced.

I like to apologize for my recent behavior. I make no excuses for it. I've made posts that were confrontational and unnecessary by nature and I accept the suspension. Is there any way I can redeem myself?

Hello, I was banned two years ago because of some type of security issues or something. I do not remember why I was banned. I miss editing on TV Tropes. I am sorry for whatever I did. May I please have another chance?

Synchronicity - Just got to this. Alright, I believed it was a mishandling but clearly my real problem was with the policy itself and not the actions of the individuals. That being said, I don't have the energy to fight back against that, so, understood, policy is much stricter then I initially thought. By the way, standing up for yourself, asking questions about how you are treated are not a "persecution complex".

I've been suspended for what was an honest mistake/ignorance of editing criteria and I would please for it to be lifted. I had meant no harm nor malcontent in my last editing of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/CodePrime.

I bow from now on I will not start Edit Wars regardless of intentions, to go to image pickin forum when I need a suggestion for a picture change, I’ll leave edit pictures alone unless it needs to update but first I need to go to the image pickin forum to ask for those changes, make sure to not make too many edits on pictures especially when people fix them and let their hard work be waisted, If someone else starts am Edit Wars I will make sure to stop it from happening, I’ll leave an editing on using the Discussion page, I’ll send a private message to anyone I have a disagreement with, I’ll go to the Ask The Tropers to ask any questions that concern or worry me but I’ll still use private messages to be on the safe side, I’ll leave an edit reason to ask others to talk to in Ask The Tropers, I’ll use Trope Talk when I am in a disagreement or Wiki Talk for other articles, If someone else repeatedly vandalizes an article or not respond to me when trying to talk I’ll report them with report button to message staff or post it on Ask The Tropers, I’ll be more careful with my actions from now on, I’ll be civil and not rude, I’ll make sure to not start anymore Edit Stomp or accidental Edit War, and if someone is already Edit Warring I’ll tell moderators about to help the problem. I’ll make sure to not repeat the same mistake again.

~Nukeli, the other issues in addition to plagiarism were non-alphabetizing new tropes on pages, grammar and spelling issues, and insanely long Recap pages. It looks like those weren't brought up in November (or more recently, for that matter) since plagiarism (which has already been addressed) was the main issue, but I'd suggest reading How to Alphabetize Things and Clear, Concise, Witty regarding the first and third issues.

That said, we think you need to run your edits through the Get Help with English thread due to your grammar and spelling issues before you can be released.

~DKUnderdog: I'm going to make this as clear as possible so there's no confusion.

  1. Your English is terrifyingly bad. I don't think you used a single full stop in that massive rant.
  2. You will not be allowed to use our wiki until you fix it.
  3. The Help with English thread is an opportunity that we offer to get proofreading help.
  4. You may not appeal for unsuspension again until you've shown sufficient improvement by posting in that thread.
  5. If you continue to beg like this, you will be permanently banned.

@Fighteer That wasn’t actually rant but apology and bow, I should have also said that I have autism but you probably don’t think it is a good excuse and I barely pass English in college I manage C in my last regular English class so my bad if my English isn’t good.

to respond in a timely manner yet again (/s), my internet is indeed a shitshow. it cuts out at least once a day for no real reason, and lately there have been a few times where it'll just blink off completely for an hour or more. actually, i just remembered a problem i almost always get when saving an edit where my browser acts like it didn't get the request, so it'll stay on that edit page unless i click the save button multiple times. maybe that's the cause of all those blank edit entries?

@GastonRabbit

So i need to post there for... some time?

Also, some of my misspellings have been caused by accidentally hitting the wrong button on my tablet's (often seriously lagging) keyboard/touchscreen, and not noticing because the text might only appear minutes after being typed, and then all at once. It doesn't always lag but that's a partial culprit (all the more absurd mistypes like random å's or letter strings have resulted from that).

Beyond mistypes, my actual English problems have mostly (that i know) been things like accidentally putting the s and c in each others' places in "license", mixing up the h and t in "strenght", or mixing up "it's" and "its". I might also use the colon too much, but that's not an English issue.

So now that I understand what the policy for edit warring is, and I'll make sure to report it instead of engaging in any myself, may I be unbanned?
