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.)

Cannot post in the content policy discussion thread. I believe this has to do with an earlier incident in which I was suspended, but that punishment has since been lifted. Requesting I be allowed to post there, because I may have found some grey area examples in at least one trope which may or may not have been discussed before.

Suspensions are not punishments. Like it says on the screen you get when you have a suspension. Lifted it for your P5 suspension.

Okay, I've been suspended and I have a very good idea why.

In the Needs Wiki Magic Love page, I was trying to move articles out of the main page and move them under the right namespace. I didn't put redirects in those main pages because I thought I might make a mistake and that redirects are uneditable. I didn't find out until today that you can edit redirects.

I wasn't trying to vandalize anything. I was just trying to help. I would like to edit again if that's all right.

Okay. When we see page blanking, we assume vandals at work. I'll lift it.

Some quite severe problems with your English, along with shoehorning YMMV tropes into articles and Nattering.

Hi, I've been suspended for reasons I cannot comprehend. I was in a discussion for Trope Usage on The Nostalgia Critic and I was being called abrasive by a user for reasons that make no sense. The same user was twisting my words and making me look like a bully. I quoted everything wrong with her argument and then people are telling me the mods have to come in, when the things I did were in self-defense. Please TALK to targets before you suspend them instead of making them feel they were punished for properly following the rules

Tiggle3: I have been monitoring the discussion of the disputed trope on The Nostalgia Critic and your replies became very rude. I have given you a 48 hour temp ban because your language became very impolite and you were acting like a dick.

I was never "impolite" or "rude". Defensive, yes, but I had every right to. I was being whacked with flawed arguments and "evidence" of things that had been brought on by the mangling of my words by other people. It gets very frustrating, and the fact that you're saying I wasn't allowed to express that (never mind the fact that you were the most vulgar of anyone. And your proposal to delete BOTH conversations by the time I get back? That's sweeping it out from under me. It's conniving, cheating, backstabbing, near-biased and just plain wrong. All I did was make my argument passionately. Proposing to wipe it away is insulting. Suspending me, let alone for following the rules (which I did for taking it to discussion before s545 did) is disrespectful. And you don't suspend s545? That's just additional hurt. Passion does not equal rudeness. Loudness does not equal rudeness. I have every right to pick apart a flawed argument. I would like my suspension lifted and the discussions remain

Tiggle3: The point at issue is not my behavior it is yours.

Your posts in the discussion page were aggressive and rude. The other tropers were trying to discuss the point with you and you were much more concerned with being right. The wiki is a collaborative project, which means that people have to work together to resolve these issues rather than out shout each other.

At this point I suspect that a two day suspension was much too generous. I suggest that you take the time to look at the page What to Do If You Are Suspended and rethink your approach to discussing points of contention with other tropers. If after two days you can demonstrate in this thread that you are capable of having a polite and reasoned discussion with out resorting to the personal I will consider lifting the suspension. Until then I suggest that you think very carefully about what you post in this thread.

I was polite and reasonable. I followed the rules, something you refuse to acknowledge. You're treating me rather unfairly. I was being outright bullied, and you not only allowed the behavior, you contributed to it. And now you're trying to suppress my opinions. And you say my posting style is wrong? So you're telling me how to argue? You're telling me I can't get frustrated. What's next? Do I have to sacrifice my firstborn son to you too?

Tiggle3: You keep using the same tactic over and over again. Someone responds to you and you immediately turn the response into a diatribe about the person and how you are being victimized. I can read what you wrote in the discussion and you were being argumentative and needlessly rude. There is no where that the term "butthurt" is considered polite language.

It is obvious that you do not have the ability to examine your actions and see where you may have been at fault. I am extending the suspension to a permanent ban.

I feel bad today after I see the editing suspension notice on my screen. I don't know why, but I thought it's okay for me to send the trope I was creating that has been unlaunched back to YKTTW by myself.

I think you've misunderstood how unlaunching works.

You never blank a page. Especiallly if the page in question is not a recently created one, but has been around for months. Even if you did launch it, from the moment you put it out on the wiki it is publicly editable and available to anyone. Other people have put in their contributions, so the page's fate is no longer in your hands. Blanking it is our number one no-no. If you want to refine it through YKTTW, you just make a YKTTW, without blanking the page.

Now, I'm looking at the article, and I would like an explanation. What are the reasons you believe it should go back to YKTTW?

To add on - the reason we come down hard on page blanking is because more often than not, it's done as vandalism, so we act accordingly and sort everything out in here.

Banned from OTC for Single-Issue Wonk and from private messaging due to arguing with Fighteer.

I apologize for the trouble. I should've either taken the issue to the thread or just not PM'd him at all. I'd like for my private message system to be turned on, please. I'm not sure how to work on the Single-Issue Wonk stuff, but if you want me to be honest, I wouldn't mind being suspended from the OTC, as long as I can still PM.

This is my third time apologizing for my actions. (unprofessional edit wording, rude responses) I admit, it's probably because I have no idea how messages work on this site. But still, if there's anything else I need to do, please tell me.

The last two times you requested to have your ban lifted you got a response from a Mod (in both cases Fighteer, posting with Mod Hat On as indicated by the pink background of the post.) In both cases you failed to reply. We can't talk to you if we can't even tell if you've seen our messages.
