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.)

This is your fourth wiki suspension. What guarantee do we have that your conduct is going to improve?
"Yup. That tasted purple."I would point out that I've always backed off when asked. There are nitpicky things I feel strongly about; I'll yak your ear off about etymology and American vs. British spelling if you let me, for example, but I also let that one go when you asked me to. I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong, or at least leave it alone even if I'm still convinced I'm right.

Anyway, thought I would bring up the suspension. In no hurry. I've spoken to shimaspawn in a PM, but had to bring it here to make it official.
I don't want to be pushy, but it's been four days and I'm still waiting for a reply to my last post on this thread.
~Lunacorva: This is the third time you've been suspended for edit warring. And over a highly hyperbolic text, too. That is not the way to defend anything.
~The Artful Bazza: You keep making uncrosswicked stub articles and adding Zero Context Examples despite messaging. Please take time to read over How to Create a Work's Page about the procedure.
~hbi2k: Seeing the number of incidents, we won't be risking another mishap. So no, editing won't be restored.
~acrobox and ~Penguin3470: I think I'll let shima handle your workshop/YKTTW appeals.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAnd I maintain that whether it was hyperbole or not (I say not) is a matter of opinion. The other guy should not have deleted the post simply because he disagreed with it.
Or has that changed? Are you now allowed to delete YMMV posts whenever you feel they don't match your own opinion?
Just want to go back to editing. Sorry about anything I possibly did, I haven't been on here in about five months!
~EMERALDOVERLOAD: I'm looking back at what you did on Trivia.Super Dangan Ronpa 2 and I can't honestly see any point in letting you be a contributor to our wiki.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Acrobox, I'm not entirely sure that you understand what we want in tropes. My PM conversation with you and your contributions to the YKTTW seem to indicate that you don't really understand how we do things. I am not willing to lift your ban at this time.
Penguin: Why exactly did you feel the need to make a new trope to complain about an obscure short lived show?
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickBecause it was very offensive, horrible, and not funny.

Well, it's good to know that you think that your personal opinions get to dictate the rules of the site.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"@ shima, how is it that things are done that I am misunderstanding.
I was suspended from editing. I'm not sure what I did that was so bad and I'd like to be able to edit again.
Hi there - I was about to add an example to a page when I realized I've been suspended. I'm actually not sure what it was for because I haven't attempted to edit anything in about a month, but I think the last time I edited anything it was on a YMMV page. Was it that?
@Triton: For a series of edits to Dude, Where's My Car? and its YMMV page concerning Vore and similar content that seriously read like they were typed one-handed.

"Yup. That tasted purple."~Vidszhite: You are using the wiki like a forum, with first person and Conversation in the Main Page. The wiki is not a forum.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWell, okay, tvtropes, but if you're breaking up with me, I want my mix CD back. I don't need to deal with imagining you listening to it while some other dude edits you all night long.
@Deadbeatloser 22 I didn't think my edits came off that way, I'm sorry if they did, it was unintentional and I was just trying to add tropes I thought were relavent and re-word a couple entries that I thought had been awkwardly written. I'll try to be better about that in the future, and I feel like you are being a bit too harsh on me.
~Triton: TV Tropes is not (and has not for a long time) been a place where anyone wants to hear about what turns you on. We are harsh about this because "masturbatory writing" has generated a huge volume of criticism of our wiki and has even caused us trouble with our advertising sponsors.
I'm going to say this frankly, so there can be no possibility of error: We don't give a damn about your vore fetish. Keep it to yourself.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"@Fighteer I didn't realize my writing came off as masturbatory, and I apologize for that, I never meant for it to come off that way.
When you start talking about how X scene is the only thing people with Y fetish watch a film for, how are we supposed to take that?
"Yup. That tasted purple."

Fair enough; guess that would be an "it takes two to have an argument" sort of thing; hindsight being 20/20 I probably should have notified a mod instead of making that last edit if not before. Lesson learned. I'll make sure to handle it better if I should find myself in such a situation again.
May I have my privileges restored?
