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.)

It's already flagged. You didn't put it up for review, you cutlisted it. The fact that you have been participating in the subforum makes it pretty clear you were not ignorant of the procedure. So tell me, what makes you think you can circumvent the process?
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerI thought the cutlist was how things were reviewed and cut if necessary. (hence the name) I'm sorry. How do you put things up for review? That's what I was trying to do.
It was a mistake and I was not trying to circumvent the process. I actually don't have much experience with the tools beyond editing pages.

"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?"
I can.
Epyon is unbanned. Do keep a cooler head from now on.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick^^^There is a link in the Tools menu that requests a content review. Benefit of the doubt, I'll lift the suspension.

Goal: Clear, Concise and WittyHello. I've just seen the message that my editing privilages have been suspended. I beleive this was for edit warring over This page
reguarding voice actor credits. A moderator asked that the matter be taken to the page discussion. If I could edit again, I would be more than happy to take the matter to the discussion, as I have evidence to back up my claim, and I promise to handle such situations better in future.

Truro, catstuxedo, when you can't agree on something, like the VA in this case, you shouldn't play ping-pong edit wars with each other. They're just trouble for everyone. When something is contested and pulled to discussion, it should stay there until other people have offered their input.
If you promise you'll refrain from making such mistakes in the future, I will lift your suspensions.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerCaspers Wish, you blew up at another troper over PMs over a misunderstanding. What guarantee do we have that you can handle the PM system responsibly?
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.Misunderstanding? He messaged me making broad, sweeping statements about my race, and was trying to normalize paedophilia. He even tried to make it sound as though we were all okay with sexualizing kids. I'm sure you can understand why I was angry.
I won't apologize for blowing up at him, but I'll apologize for misusing your pm system (even though he messaged me first) and breaking your harshness rule.
I'll even go so far as to say that I'll never let it happen again if you let me have another chance.

One big YES!I will be more than happy to take the matter to the discussion page if my suspension was lifted as well.
Alright, I've lifted your suspensions. Try to be careful from now on.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerCasper, I read both sides of the PM war. You misunderstood what he was saying and escalated the conflict based on that misunderstanding. Both of you misbehaved, but don't try to paint yourself as a victim here.
The fact that you don't think what you did is wrong doesn't lead me to feel comfortable lifting your ban.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.I know what you read, because I'm the one who gave what I could to Bobby G. And either you failed reading comprehension or you're being unfair, or "Loli and shota are different words for kids, I saw it in anime and manga. Only a westerner would make that mistake and that's how I can tell you're not Asian" has somehow become acceptable.
I do, however, admit to not knowing that people don't take offense to people grouping people as westerners.
Also, I admit that I might be at fault. Could you point out to what, exactly, I misunderstood about what he wrote?
edited 6th May '12 11:23:11 AM by CaspersWish
One big YES!I read it directly from his account, actually. He sent me his password so I could do so.
His first PM was correcting the definitions of lolicon and shotacon - he was not saying that they just refer to kids, but to people with an "romantic" interest in kids. He was trying to clear up what he thought you were misunderstanding, rightly or wrongly.
You responded with hostility based on a misunderstanding, and that's where it all spiraled out of control.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up. I don't understand why you said that first part, but alright. Wait, that's my bad for phrasing my first sentence the way I did. Sorry about that. And reight, I apologize to him for saying that he tried to sexualize kids, assuming that that's what he actually meant.
Again, lolicon/shotacon does not refer to a person, it refers to either the genre of animated child porn, the style of dress (Elegant gothic lolita), the (now defunct) complex in which women act like children, or the attraction of adults to young girls/boys. The fact that he admits to have learned his assertions from anime is rather telling, and infuriating.
And the word he/you're looking for with regards to people who have an attraction to children is shouniseiaisha, not lolicon.

One big YES!Can you guys reinstate my editing privelages. I will try to discuss it on the Final Fantasy VII discussion thread when I get them reinstated.
This is against my better instincts, but I'm going to give you another chance, Casper, since it's a first offense. I think you're missing the point here, though - it doesn't matter in the slightest who's "right" and who's "wrong" here. You both acted extremely inappropriately. Please give greater thought and emotional distance to replies to people in the future.
Keep in mind that we rarely give third chances.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.@EJO1: Both you and Epyon were engaged in an Edit War. That is not acceptable. If you understand that and discuss it, we will indeed let you resume editing.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I understand, and I will make absolute certain to restrain myself from editing if someone removes it, even if I have to resort to physically injuring or maiming myself in order to ensure restraint.
Let's hope you don't have to go quite that far. Lifted.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Got edit-banned a few weeks ago (I believe due to having inadvertantly made several natter additions). Now I just want to know, are these bans timed, or do we have to request to be unbanned? Also, while waiting to be unbanned would it be possible to post suggestions of edits we'd like to make so that the moderators can check them over and then make the edits?
I am unable to edit my contributors page, clicking the edit button gives this message:
"Sorry, editing has been turned off for you"
i would like to update my page, please.
Slaying all enemies in the Name of the Goddess of the Force!@Matt II: You are required to appeal bans because otherwise we have no way to know if you got the message. You have a lot of natter problems. Apparently warning you via PM (the "natterfy" button) was not enough to get you to stop, so here we are. There are several policy articles you need to read on the subject: Conversation In The Main Page (as noted previously), Word Cruft, and How To Write An Example. Let me know when you've done that and give me a summary of how they apply to you.
@ComradeClaus: We don't enable you to edit pages selectively. Your edit suspension was for poor grammar and spelling, which I can see very clearly in your history. Also bad formatting, lack of punctuation, ignoring namespace rules, and from what I see in the edit history for Characters.Air Master, a disturbing fixation on breasts. You've managed to pack a lot into a small list; I only wish I had something minor that I could add for comedic effect.
Our experience is that someone with your issues does not improve, even if given multiple chances. Got anything to say in your defense?

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

Because it seemed like a very questionable work and I wanted to flag it for review. Judging from the content (porn, shotacon), it seemed like something that deserved a look-over.
