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 post multiple times about your appeal if it hasn't been a few days since your last reply from us, 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.)

@Flighteer: If I do what you outline and simmer down can I eventually get my editing privileges back????
I don't even care about workshop privileges, they're not a good combo with me, I know that, I get too involved. I just want to be able to feel good about working toward getting wiki editing privileges back. Please.

Frak this. I'm never coming back to this site. I don't like the way it's run by the mods. Goodbye all. It was fun while it lasted, before all the BS politics.

Funny how making someone wait a few hours for an answer brings out their true personality. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

Hello everyone!
I am not coming for an appeal this time. I addmitedly still need to work out my dislexia/grammar issues before I ask for a new chance (maybe next year after I have improved those flaws and prove it to you of course).
But I would only like to ask for permission to edit my profile instead here : https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Fallenlegend
I had the idea that I could ask someone to put it for me there but I was wondering if that would be ok. I would only like to add information about me, some fictional works I am working on (on my profile) and some articles I helped with.
Thank you for your consideration!.

Unfortunately, we don't have a selective wiki ban feature. It's either all or nothing. That said, we might allow you one update if you post the markup somewhere that we can copy, like the Sandbox forum.

That would be great, thank you!.
I would like try the sandbox forum to post the markup. Should I post the link here when I am done?.

Yes, please.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
I'm actually here to ask not to remove the suspension, but to know the reason behind it. I've joined tvtropes because I absolutely love this site, so I want to be sure to not to make any mistake.

Right after I sent you a message about natter on Badass.Real Life, and scrubbed the article of all the mess, you went back and added a huge block of examples, some of which were invalid, some of which had natter (plus the dreaded This Troper), and all of which had grammatical and spelling errors. Not a good first impression.
For reference, Badass is about individuals, not "the entire roman [sic] army". That's a different trope, appropriately named Badass Army.

You have shown a repetitive inability to understand what tropes are, how they work, and what their purpose is in a narrative. As a result, you constantly derail TRS conversations in unhelpful and unproductive ways. You've been suspended from the TRS until you can prove you actually understand enough about troping to be a help, and not a constant hindrance.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickHmm, fair enough. Where can I prove myself now that I'm banned in TRS?
Wouldn't make much sense for a mod to monitor my progress on that, so is there a probation period or something?
Also, speaking of "hindrance", I think I sparked a good idea in the Ms. Fanservice thread, not that it concerns me now that I'm banned.
Though yeah, I admit I jump the gun far too quick when it comes to pulling People Sit On Chairs on anything. I just wanna know what will get me back on track as soon as possible.

Hey guys, checking in about the suspension. I'm assuming this comes primarily from making edits in the Fragile Speedster trope while involved in a debate as to what those changes, if any, should be.
Either way, let me know how to resolve the suspension at your convenience.
Thanks!

Actually, in your case it's misuse of the Five-Man Band trope on YMMV.Pokemon. First, Five-Man Band is not subjective. Second, it has specific criteria for which none of those groupings qualify. Third, it was entirely Zero Context Examples. Fourth, it used improper Example Indentation.
With that quadrifecta of errors, I figured you needed a chat.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
So noted,
I thought adding it to the YMMV page and indicating it was Just for Fun exempted that. It was just a passing idea I thought others would get a laugh at. Won't be an issue.
Lost in Space
That's understandable, at least. But please don't do things like that just 'cuz. The wiki doesn't work well when everyone's running around doing random stuff on a whim.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Lost in Space
Great. Suspension lifted.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
hello. i've been banned from editing, and i'd like to talk about getting it lifted.
First things first, as your appeals post shows you need to work on your grammar.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Lost in Space
~Novashino: Your edits so far display a degree of carelessness that we don't like to see in new editors. Among various issues: your English is substandard, with numerous grammatical and spelling errors; you are adding conversational entries to articles; and you aren't using wiki markup correctly.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Well, I think I've had a long enough break.
Has it been long enough, though?
Lost in Space
You tell us. It's not about the length of the break but whether you're going to do the same thing the next time some game publisher does something that annoys you.

Deadbeatloser 22: Well I was informed that someone sent me a PM message, and I would like to check it out.
EDIT: And I'm sorry for being too pushy and persuasive. I don't know what has gotten into me. Fighteer, I shouldn't have sent you persuading messages in the first place. I was trying to help, but I shouldn't have been sarcastic.
EDIT 2: And another thing: if you could've at least be more reasonable in an positive attitude, I wouldn't have broken down. Madrugada, the way you replied "NO" sounded exactly like you're being narrow-minded, unaware that I was recovering from my depression. I was trying to be nice. I'm ashamed of what I've done in the past and I have already changed.
