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.)

Hi I'd like to continue posting. I have a lot to add to certain subjects
Alan Tartine: We're not big on people using our wiki for Creator Bashing and the like.
"Yup. That tasted purple."Sorry if I'm stepping out of line but I notice my appeal seems to have been skipped over.
I don't personally have enough knowledge of your case to make a judgement on it.
"Yup. That tasted purple."It's been almost a week since I've been away from TV Tropes? Could you at least please turn the PM system back on so I can chat with my friends again?

"I told you PCs were unreliable." Darwin, The Amazing World of GumballYou were PM banned to stop you nagging us about "stuff [you] could be fixing" as if that would make us more likely to unban you.
"Yup. That tasted purple."I know, but aside from that I just want to chat with my friends.
Happy Mother's Day, BTW.
I promise I'll stop nagging you about "stuff I could be fixing". I already got over it since I've been away from TV Tropes for about a week.
"I told you PCs were unreliable." Darwin, The Amazing World of GumballI hope I'm not bothering you guys too much but I feel like my appeal keeps being overlooked.
@Madrugada: You did not look at the email my father sent to you, did you? His email address is amnoroso@aol.com.
"I told you PCs were unreliable." Darwin, The Amazing World of Gumball~Hastur Hastur Hastur: Given the lack of other input, I'm going to release your suspension on the conditions you stated. You don't have to completely leave the article alone, but if you could arrive at some sort of consensus on how it should be presented, that would be excellent.
~Chariot: We remain concerned by your behavior. Would you accept a trial release from everything except Yack Fest? The Nunnery will survive without you.
~Heliosphoros: You've been Edit Warring over Lauren Faust, with what appears to be SJW drama imported from Tumblr. Internet crusades for or against a particular individual need to go someplace else; we refuse them absolutely.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"No, I did not read your father's email.
Fast Eddie, the site owner and admin, gets the email sent to the admin email address. He has the absolute final say in any decisions about the site.
Since he did not decide to lift your ban on the basis of what was in the email from your father, I'm feel confident in saying that I doubt that I or any of the other mods would have found it persuasive enough to cause us to lift the ban either.
Additionally, it does not speak well of your level of maturity that you brought your father in to appeal for you. Any further emails from that address will be deleted unread.
I will lift your PM block on this condition: if you send even one more PM to any of the mods concerning something that you think we should fix on the wiki because you cannot change it yourself or use P Ms to pester us to lift the wiki ban, I'll shut PMs back down permanently.
That's it. That's how it's going to be. End of sentence. End of discussion.

@Fighteer
While I would still like to post in the Nunnery if you think it's for the best that I do't I can accept that. I'm definitely willing to go through the trail run that you proposed.
@Chariot: Let's start like I proposed. Give it a few weeks more to see if we can trust you.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"It appears there was a disagreement on the Doctor Who YMMV page which has led to a re-organisation of The Scrappy section and has led to me getting suspended. I now understand how the problem arose and how to avoid it again.
~Mr Thorfan 64: As annoyed as I am by The Scrappy section on that article, that's not why your suspension was issued. You were removing Fanfic Recs without explanation.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I understand I shouldn't have been removing things from TV Tropes. For that I am very apologetic. I will not remove Fanfic recs again. Can I please continue editing? I would like to make up by giving more contributions to this wonderful wiki.
I really am trying not to be rude. But I would like to know someone in authority is considering returning my edit privileges. I have really learnt from my mistakes and there are a lot of things I would like to add. I really will not perform unjust removals of fanfic recs. The reason I removed the recs was because I read them and didn't like them. The reason I remove things is because I disagree. I realise now this should be more a matter of opinion then because I don't like them. It really won't happen again.

First, be patient. Of the mod team who typically manage Edit Banned, not all of us are on 24/7. Second, I'd like to know why you saw fit to remove them.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I think I was banned because I edited the How to Train Your Dragon Characters Page without suggesting it on the Discussion page first, or it might have been that I expressed frustration at the other tropers while doing so. I am sorry. I want to edit to this (What do I call it? A site? A wiki?) because I feel that it is extremely cool and helpful, and I know that I have knowledge to contribute. I didn't like that there was information about the How to Train Your Dragon TV series listed under Hiccup from the books, and I wanted to change that, but I should have asked first. I am sorry that I didn't. May I please come back?
Socrates, I observed that you've been treating our wiki articles much like a forum, inserting comments and arguments directly into the pages. That's not how a wiki works. If you believe an example to be factually incorrect, fix it. If you aren't sure about something and want to get feedback, use the article's Discussion page or one of our other communication methods like Ask The Tropers, private messages, or the forums.
I'd like you to read through How to Write an Example and then come back here and describe, in your own words, what you did wrong.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

Hello, it's been a month (give or take a few hours) as I was told to wait before coming back. I understand that my actions were rude and I promise to be more polite as well as to not try and force my views on others or to start and/or continue arguments. If it is alright with you, could I please be given editing privileges and the ability to post in the forums once more?
