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.)

Sorry for delaying the answer. The thing in the Insecurity thread was not intended as trolling, it was just a joke, didn't even intend anything mallicious on it.
But you're right, in that I do have this tendency to troll the threads, and some times I'm genuinely intolerant. Usually, I go to forums where they are more lax on the whole teasing/mocking/trolling thing. I tend to forget Tv Tropes frown on this attitude. Sorry.
Have you forgotten the face of your father, troper?Hello people, I recently just realized I was given an editing suspension. I was wondering how long will it be (Primarily, I already can understand that the reason can be either because I kept editing the Friendship is Witchcraft YMMV), so I'll take the consequence with stride.

FURIOUS MASTURBATION!!!Hello. Why was I suspended?
There is no failure condition during life.@ Bronyofthe Octaves: Looking through your edits, I'm seeing problems with wick formatting and improperly added tropes on at least one YMMV page (specifically, repeatedly adding Fan Dumb on YMMV.Friendship Is Witchcraft).
@ Argon2: You were suspended for not indexing a page after receiving multiple notices that indexing needs to be done.
@ Willbyr, I see. I can understand why: I'm still getting used to adding tropes and which ones are more appropriate to pages and I do admit I tried added Fan Dumb to Friendship is Witchcraft. I will however will add that trope to the page anymore.
I would love to know how long will my suspension last.

FURIOUS MASTURBATION!!!Fighteer, may I please be free from my suspension. I went to the link like you suggested and so far no one commented on my writing, which means either my writing meets standards or no one interested (Which I admit is somewhat annoying.) either way I have done what you ask of me.
That's not how that works. You run edits past that thread until we feel that your English has reached an acceptable standard. It's not a case of "OK, I looked through there, now unban me".
"Yup. That tasted purple."May I be allowed to edit again?
There is no failure condition during life.Okay, so I had to cut my writing of Steam Wars way too short, and was given a warning about it, and a request to, you know, actually put some content in it. Fair enough.
But when I actually tried to do that, I got this. It kinda makes it hard to make the needed edits.
Hello... I don't know why I've been suspended again since I received no warning PM for it. May I know what happened?

...ehehIron Commando: You actually received eight warning P Ms to index your pages. Why did you keep ignoring the warnings?
SAMAS: You got five warning P Ms to index your pages. Do you understand the site rules?

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickI don't know where to index some of my pages on. If there is no specific page to do so, where should I put it?
Sometimes I get the warning too quickly- I make the page, try to find a page to index it on, and get the warning before I can do so.
How long will this suspension last for?

...ehehSorry to again ask, but how long will I be suspended for? I do know that it was due to my inappropriate usage of putting the Fan Dumb trope on the Friendship is Witchcraft YMMV page.
FURIOUS MASTURBATION!!!~Argon2, sure, if you acknowledge that indexing subpages is something you need to do withour prompting. Pages get lost otherwise.
~ironcommando, if you are asked to index a page and you can't find an index, you can ask in the PM or the assistance topics linked in How Indexing Works - Ask The Tropers and the forum indexing topic. As for the suspension duration, these last until we are sure that the issue leading to the suspension won't return upon unsuspending, which for me at least entails acknowledging the suspension reason and promise or demonstration of good behaviour.
~BronyoftheOctaves, according to the suspension reason you seem to have a problem with complaining about various pony fics. What is up with that?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI understand about what to do now if I can't find an index. I'll also make sure to put upcoming pages on the index first before creating them.
...ehehActually, you should not put pages on indexes before you've made them - the indexing doesn't take in these cases. My recommendation would be to index them immediately after you've saved them. You might want to take a look at other editing conventions by the way - you've got a lot of notifications for issues other than indexing.
Otherwise, unsuspending, and happy troping!

Sorry,I kinda went crazy with editing..
It won't happen again.
~superluigiglitchy4: Because you failed to reply to our earlier inquiry and instead tried to make a forum thread to ask people to edit for you, your ban has been elevated to permanent. It is apparent that you are either deliberately trolling or incapable of comprehending rules.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"~EDP: You have a large number of notifications for both improper Example Indentation and failing to index articles that you create. Indexing can be confusing sometimes, so please read How Indexing Works as well as the previously linked article.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Yes, I understand. Thank you.

Westrim, you were wiki blocked for edit warring over the page image on Joan Of Arc, specifically for removing it simply because "An image is not required. It's an illustration of Joan of Arc from someone who never saw her. Please leave it off. " That's an issue for IP, if you think a page image is bad and should be removed.
This is your third little foray into this thread, once for being a PITA in YKTTW, and once for removing comments from wiki pages because you didn't agree with them. Both of those were lifted after you appealed and promised to follow the rules. So this is your third strike.
Your wiki-side ban is permanent. You can still post in the reviews, and take part in YKTTW and the forums. But you will not be allowed to edit the wiki anymore.
