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.)

[up][up]I didn't make any more redirects after she said, "No more redirects." What she said in that post was "I moved them to Just for Fun", not "Put all joke pages in Just for Fun." I understand that she shouldn't have needed to spell out that I needed to make pages in the Just for Fun namespace, but sometimes I have problems with communication issues.

And, in the post following the latter linked post, Unnoun asked me to move the page to the Just for Fun namespace, which I immediately (after checking the posts) I did. Afterwards, my laziness caused me to forget to cutlist the "Kingdom Hearts The Movie" article in the film namespace. I just wanted to point out that I didn't mean to act in opposition to what a mod had requested.

I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused.

Lightbringer, as long as you understand and won't do it again, there should be no problem lifting your ban. Keep in mind that third chances are rarer than hen's teeth.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

Ehrm...I'm not actually sure why I'm not able to edit anymore, to be honest. I haven't actually visited the site or edited a page in a while. Me-sa confused.

Looks like you share an IP address with a vandal. I'll lift your suspension.

> @listmaker: You don't seem to grasp quite what we're telling you. I'm sorry, but I can't unban you if you don't get it. It's just going to cause problems again.

Well, I'd certainly like to get it. :(

I've explained my thought process to show I was operating in good faith. I've apologized. I've promised not to touch the flagging system again.

What am I missing? I certainly want to get it - I enjoy TV Tropes and would like to continue to participate.

Please tell me why I'm suspended? Is it because of the fact that I keep removing tropes from the Pokemon anime's page that should belong to the character pages?

No, it's the edit reasons you left. It seems that you missed the note literally right above the edit reason box saying, "Rudeness is not cool." I don't care how valid your edits are; we do not need people on the wiki who ignore that.

I wouldn't be rude if it weren't for the fact that some people keep completely ignoing the note on top of the anime page. I'd stop being rude if they just stop doing this over and over.

Actually, you're going to stop being rude, period, because we don't tolerate it, and your editing privileges will remain suspended unless you accept that.

If people are repeatedly ignoring posted guidelines in an article, report it on Ask The Tropers and a mod will deal with it. You don't need to become a one-man dickwad parade.

Alright. Keep it cool, please. We don't give many third chances.

<sigh> Based on the lack of response to my plea in post 681, am I to understand that discussion is closed and I am effectively permabanned from all editting functions?

Let's you and I both stay away from the wholesale flagging of indexes. I'll lift the editing suspension.

So I guess I was banned for disagreeing that Jenova was the villian of FFVII rather then Sephiroth? Cause, the moderator says he's "Pulling the discussion", but he sure as hell kept the other guy edit one-upping me in.

I suspended both of you. Edit Wars are against site rules. Take it to the discussion page if you're having a heated argument.

Two edits aren't an edit war. And I only found out about this suspension by trying to enter a discussion page, I can't anymore, cause you suspended me. So I ask about it here, 'scuse me.

Your edit reasons were yelling at each other. I just wanted to cool things down. If you're willing to behave from now on and cool down, I'll lift your suspension. Can you do that?

From the looks of things, my editing privilege was suspended after a failed attempt to reach a compromise concerning a page and bringing the issue to the discussion page to prevent a full-out edit war. I'm requesting that my ability to edit be reinstated so that I can take part in the discussion and hopefully reach a proper conclusion.

What exactly were you thinking when you put Morenatsu on the cutlist, when it has received no votes from the P5?
