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.)

Wait, hold up. I don't understand. Did I did something wrong? Is it a small mistake or big mistake? Am I like only allowed for one day of editing before I'm suspended all over again, just because the suspension lift is like as if it's only temporary?

Because as soon as you were unsuspended you went right back to doing all the things you said you wouldn't do any more.

I definitely understand what you are talking about, Fighteer. I'm not trolling, I'm just trying to help people on pages. For example, I was adding character sheets for media that did not have any character sheets at all.

@Craver: You started adding bad examples with poor grammar and spelling again.

@garfield: I'm really glad you want to add examples, character sheets, and the like. So do a lot of people. Until you address the actual reason you were suspended, I'm going to simply ignore you.

I got suspended because I got on an edit war, but I didn't want to get into one. I just wanted to make good and clean edits, that's all. Also, how do I change my profile picture? My current one does not have good quality at all, and I just want to find a smaller one.

@#3879 Fighteer: Two questions I wanted to ask:

1) I understand why you moderators tend to get fussy over grammar. So now, do I have to go to the Help with English thread to fix the situation that I'm in all over again?

2) If I'm permamently banned, would I get a different message instead? Like instead of saying, "Sorry, your editing privilege has been suspended", would it say "You've been permamently banned"?

It appears I've been suspended, but I have no idea why, as I haven't been here for some time.

I thought that my last post (3875) would have warranted at least some sort of response, even if it was just another refusal. I'm just going to assume it's a no then.

@ Electrostatus: You were suspended for running a Nannybot program that censored any pages you edited.

Hey again guys.

Well I decided to wait out the weekend before I tried my luck asking again. I have calmed down considerably and don't wish to cause anymore trouble for you guys. Besides if this spoiler tag rule is in place, I need to get to some recaps I made and remove them. So if it's alright, may I please be allowed to edit again?

It all good, just try to keep it that way. Neh?

When was that? If that is true then my account might have been compromised. The last page I remember touching was nearly a year ago and I haven't been on since.

@Craver: You may submit edits to be checked, sure. But given the amount of time you had to work on your editing skills, and no apparent improvement, I see no point to restoring your privileges again.

FYI, the message doesn't change.

@Retro7: We're talking it over.

[up] But why wouldn't the suspension message change when someone is permanently banned? Does it mean that you moderators will tell them that they're permanently banned when all is said?

Yes. The big hammer is the bounce, which means you lose access to the site entirely. We only do that if you make a complete nuisance of yourself.

@Applelight: We don't intend to make a habit of banning people on request, let alone lifting the ban when they change their mind. That said, your appeal is good enough to make an exception.

We've talked before about how you need to take a break when you notice you're getting upset. Keep that in mind.

I'm giving you another chance. Don't make me regret it.

Well I changed my password and am running a few scans. I don't know how that happened, I'm certainly not interested in censoring pages I want to read.

Do you edit on public computers, or does domeone else have access to your computer? If so you should always log out when you're done editing. If your account is compomised and causing problems we'll have to block it, so you need to make sure your account is safe.

Is there a problem here I'm not aware of? I'm a bit confused as a Mod was in the thread I was commenting in, and not one post was attacking anyone or trolling them.

Edit: An answer would be very much appreciated.

Eventually? It was impression that bans didn't happen without reason, so I assumed whoever was kind enough to ban me and not even send a note saying why would be able to provide an explanation when asked. Especially since a Mod was following the same thread and there was no "Chill out with this" warning or anything like it.

Edit: Ah, I get an idea now. So it looks like my last posts in the LGBT Rights and America thread are being deleted wholesale. Which kind of brings out the point I was making.

Hm, interesting.
