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.)

Where on the page? How do you get a hold of a page master (or whatever they're called)?
Ok so I've addressed all the stuff that got me suspended, pretty sure I addressed all of those correctly, but I'm still suspended, can I please be unsuspended now? Thanks
I've been edit suspended again, but this time for repeatedly gushing on the Berserk article in the MohsScaleOfViolenceHardness/AnimeAndManga page. Can someone tell me more about it, please?

i'm completely in the dark about why i was suspended. it is because i was adding too many quotes and image captions?
Dang. I'm not sure what got me suspended; I feel like I do but I'd like to know for sure. Sorry for the trouble.
Please be more specific. What are some ways you can discuss if you want to redo your edit?
~stratis appeal
We'd like you to understand how to avoid an edit war, and avoiding editing a certain page won't fix that, because you might just break the same rule on other pages.
If you add something, and someone deletes it, according to Edit War, what can you do if you want to put your edit back?
~Blue Cat 138 appeal
Okay then. Happy troping, and be careful. You are released.
~Grand Cheese appeal
If you believe you have a better image than what's on the page, please bring it up for discussion at Image Pickin'
next time.
The other issue at hand is Zero-Context Example — examples need to be fully described to explain how the trope comes in play. This entry you added on Child Soldiers:
- Noodle from Music/Gorillaz is one of these.
This entry on Mune: Guardian of the Moon:
- Large Ham: The villains seem to be this, and even Sohone to an extent.
Can you repost those two above entries here, with the full context?
~EDP appeal
That's much better. You are released. Happy troping!
I just want to see if people agree with me. If they disagree, then I won't redo anything.
~Yinyang107 - you should now be able to post in this thread.
Access to the Edit Banned thread was blocked as a side-effect of the FAQ-specific ban initially applied to your account.
That has now been amended, but a more general forum ban still applies until/unless you appeal here.
Good, thank you. So, why was I banned in the first place? I didn't break any rules I can find.
I understand my proposed solution may not do. In the future, if I notice someone has adjusted something I wrote, I promise to use either the Discussion page or to privately message those who I may have a disagreement with.
Hello!
I received an edit suspension a couple of months back for a particularly rude response I made on the Lord of the Rings Headscratchers page. I fully understand what I did wrong and why you felt the need to suspend me. I lost my cool and let my emotions get ahead of me when I was responding, and that was particularly dumb because I'm pretty sure I was responding to a question that was being asked back before those pages were even named Headscratchers.
In any case, I would like to apologize for the rudeness and will try to remain cool while editing in the future. That's actually why I took a couple of months to post an appeal, as I wanted to take some time off to cool down. I figured if I was getting hot-headed I might as well back off for a while.
Thank you for listening.
We're discussing your own behaviour, not your views on other tropers or their reactions to your posts. The decision to suspend you was based on the mods' response to your posts, not anyone else's interpretation of your words.
In the previous post we asked if you were finally going to stop being stubborn about One Piece character pronouns. You replied by saying that you'd switched form talking about Yamato to talking about Kuina. That doesn't give us much confidence that you're listening.
You suggested that you "want to not cause trouble" but wrote that we can't expect your best behaviour when you think other tropers are rude or passive-aggressive. That doesn't give us much confidence either.
If you're reinstated, we need you to stop dwelling on character pronouns. And we need you to take full responsibility for your own behaviour, rather than blaming other tropers.
Can you honestly give us a commitment to that?
~Zugga-lugga-locoro, G appeal
Your additions were phrased in a clearly hostile manner. Maybe the change can be added to the page in time, but not like that. Okay?
~Tropers/shawn_allen appeal
There are no page masters here. Nobody owns or is solely responsible for a page, remember. By "ask beforehand", I meant "discuss". Ask The Tropers is a good place to ask the community about formatting help and the like, if you want to ensure you have an entry right before adding.
~Cat Playz And Things appeal
Will take that to mean you have no further questions and won't make the same mistakes. You can go.
~The Lewandererz 602555 appeal
Yes, gushing about the brutality in Berserk. You've found a bunch of adjectives for "brutal" and "gory" and "horrible" to make a Wall of Text of an entry and continued to make it a bigger wall, despite others telling you they don't improve the page. You even ignored a reversion to the page that got rid of a lot of the cruft.
~isbillyhere appeal
Hello. You were suspended for edit warring on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. A user making a change
, someone else making it something else
, and the original user changing it back without discussion
is an edit war. Rather than repeatedly putting their preferred version of an edit back on the page, we want tropers to talk to each other and come to an agreement. What does Edit War recommend doing if you disagree with someone else's change undoing yours?

Tell us all of the possible options you can use to "see if people agree" with you, which are provided on Edit War.
there was a full month between each change. i only changed it the second time because the number was innacurate then and i thought just rounding it down would save everyone the time, like i did the first time.
i dont know what you want me to do. i changed the number two seperate times because i saw it was inaccurate and assumed would continue to be so. i dont actively follow the page, so i dont check edits until i randomly stumble upon the page itself on a whim.
i once again would like to appeal my suspension. i have made extensive use of the English help forum so that all of my grammar mistakes are fixed and will continue to do so if my appeal is successful. i have even taken a break from using this forum.i have done everything asked of my twice over so when can i start posting again.
I guess I'd just ask for a moderator if the edit might come across as vandalism. The page that I should talk with other users too. If it is too problematic I'll abandon such edit. What am I really confused by the rules is where does the edit war end without using a mod. All in the talks? Still, the fact I haven't been able to discuss sometimes make me think I made an edit stomp
Edited by omegasaint on Sep 22nd 2023 at 6:58:34 AM
yeah this is probably my bad tbh. i wanted to continue updating it like i always do, and i figured since it was a super minor edit that it'd be fine. guess not, but i understand why though. sorry for dragging you here ~@isbillyhere >_>
Well, Tabs. I gotta tell, I love Berserk, but seems that seems that I've gotten a bit too obsessive about it, and you can clearly tell considering how much I gushed about it (be it the brutality of the work or something else).
That said, I've also got something important to confess: My rapsheet is actually a bit larger than what got me suspended the first time. To elucidate:
- All about the edit wars was adressed, as even if there were some hiccups along the way, I was trying to reason with other Tropers (be it Kofboy or someone else) to reach a mutual agreement, and even if there wasn't an agreement on some of the matters, I've had to explain my edits. So no worry about that one.
- Now, what I've meant with my rapsheet being actually bigger than what was established at first, and here goes. Regarding my violent bashing of Spec Ops: The Line, something that you didn't even notice was that I actually had more instances of attacking the game for its meta elements and insulted its creator Walt Williams, one of which was where I called the game "a flat-out hate crime" (the instance that you picked that got me in hot water was when I called the game that a second time, but not the first one), and then the other in which I flat-out described Walt Williams as being "a nihilistic coward" as well as compared him unfavorably to Jack Chick, a disgusting jerk who used his work to promote his bigotry against anyone who didn't match his radical beliefs, and was totally uncaring of the fact that writing the game actual caused Walt to suffer a Creator Breakdown when I was doing these hurtful remarks, all of this being something that you actually didn't notice and I'm here to confess.
- And lastly, my most recent offense: Gushing about the brutality present in Berserk in the MohsScaleOfViolenceHardness/AnimeAndManga page despite numerous warnings made towards me to stop it. That one speaks for itself, so no need to elaborate.
All in all, what I ought to say is that the onus is on me to show that I have a lot to make up for, and as such I deserve this suspension. But either way, I'm free to hear whatever words you have to say about it.
Edited by TheLewandererz602555 on Sep 24th 2023 at 1:39:01 PM
Can you honestly give us a commitment to that?
I can give full commitment to that.
But if people are going to continually be aggressive and rude to me for no good reason, because indeed they have, then I will also raise a response about that as opposed to keeping quiet about it. It's not just blaming others, but reporting actions as I rightfully should so that I may be happy on these forums just as much as others deserve to be happy and respected in also following the rules.
Because if you expect me to take full responsibility for my actions, then it's logical and reasonable to suggest others take full responsibility for theirs, because I'm not the only one who has made less than stellar decisions.
So with all that in mind, again, I take full responsibility for mistakes that I have actually made, and hope to move forward in the best way possible.
Edited by SoaringStarman on Sep 22nd 2023 at 4:09:48 AM
Ah, yeah, fuck you have a point there.
Yeah, sorry bout that. I defintely should have at least made an attempt to, like, not. Be as dickish as I was about it. Well maybe dickish isn't the right word but, y'know. Sorry.

Not even stars last forever.Tabs, If there are no page masters, how does one discuss? Where?
I'm a bit concerned that my editing suspension is going to last for a really long time no matter how hard I try to prove to the moderators over the next two or so months that I've legitimately changed and made decent contributions to other areas of this wiki.

Okay, what'd I do. If this is about the Timeline.TV Tropes thing, I already apologized for that
. I can again if you want me to.
