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.)

@Silentedge89: It's our job to maintain civility on the forums. That means stopping things that are seriously against the rules immediately, and calling parties involved to the table immediately. You may have your wiki privileges restored after one week (7 days).

@WhyNotNow: I'm restoring your privileges.

@Trisha: PM'ing us with your silly justifications isn't going to help. You clearly have no interest in discussing the matter with us, so it's a permanent ban for you.

Thank you Fighteer for taking the time to work this out with me. I only have one question on the matter. Do I have to post here again in seven days or is it going to be an automatic process?

@Silentedge89: Post, please. We don't have any kind of automatic reminder system.

@Trisha: All you've done is send us badly written PM's about how you think Spongebob and Patrick are kids. The consensus on this is broadly against you. You clearly don't understand how a wiki works.

So, I've noticed that I've been suspended and I would appreciate it if someone could inform me of why it occurred.

Removing all instances of "cro" fro Characters.Naruto-Akatsuki.

@Tundrabolt: For some reason, your last edit on Characters.Naruto-Akatsuki took a whole bunch of instances of the word "crow" and replaced them with "w".

Okay, sorry about that. I tried editing from a tablet computer and for some reason things didn't work as I intended. How long before I can edit again?

We'll let you edit again if you promise to be more careful from now on. Make sure your edits are the way you meant them to be.

The idea of preventing you from editing is to stop the problem from reoccurring. If you can guarantee that it won't happen again we'll lift the suspension.

No problem, it wasn't my intention to make trouble for you guys. I'll try to make more use of the To Do List in order to avoid making the same mistake.

@Tundrabolt: Fair enough. Your suspension was released.

@Triscion: You were spoiler-tagging trope names and entire examples on Characters subpages despite notes explicitly stating not to do that.

@Hollow101: "Here", not "hear".

Not enough. You're still making subject-verb agreement errors. First sentence: "already fixed that". Second sentence: "did fix my grammar a bit".

I was Edit Suspended because I changed Jackbauer Interrogation Technique to Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique. Maybe I should have taken it to a thread, but it honestly looked like a mistake. Maybe it's just me, but I don't recall "Jack" and "Bauer" being one word.

[up][up]You changed Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique to Jack Bauer Interrogation Method - so you changed a word in the article's name, which to us looked like a unilateral rename without input from TRS or the article's discussion page (or in fact anyone except you.)

I don't see anything wrong with the article's original name. I noticed that if you write Jack Bauer as one word (with the b in lower case) it still links to the article, but the same is true if you spell it JackBauerinterrogationTechnique or any variation thereof (just so long as it has some CamelCase.)

OK.

A rename requires a TRS discussion.

I see that you weren't really trying to do a rename, though, so I think I can just lift the suspension.

This is the problem, though, Hollow. We want you to be able to make edits that don't have to be proofread by others.
