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.)

Whitewings: There has been a history of people abusing discussion pages to soapbox about their own issues or attack other editors. There are users who receive edit suspensions to stop that abuse. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, since your suspension isn't a result of maliciousness, but there's nothing we can do.


cgk 999: You were not suspended for a single edit. Your edit history shows a tendency for Conversation In The Main Page, Justifying Edits and somewhat poor Example Indentation. To be more specific:

  • To some extent, Mulan was not the worst offender of the "Disney world culture view" as a lot of others. Besides, they have Jackie Chan doing voice over of Shang for both Mandarin (there are 2, one for Mainland, one for Taiwan) and Cantonese dub, and have an all star voice cast that essentially were awesome in all 3 dubbed versions, there are reasons why Mulan was not hated. The general view in China was "it must have been very difficult for you foreigners to even come up with this, so we'll admire your effort and forgive stuff that weren't done so well." On the other hand, blatant over-stereotyping such as the Great Ten from DC Universe was very poorly received in China. Though in the case of Great Ten the creators were deliberately invoking the tropes, people manage to hate it none the less.

This is your edit on Americans Hate Tingle. This contests the above example in an attempt to start a conversation. That is improper editing. If you see a bad example, then remove the offending parts or talk about them on the discussion page of the article. Repair Dont Respond.

Your edit on GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff.Video Games is an example of incorrect Example Indentation. A second bullet point is reserved for a second example of the trope in the same work, not for elaboration. If you wish to elaborate, incorporate the relevant information in the already existing example in a concise way.

Finally, your edit on Animation Age Ghetto is both Natter and includes first person which is absolutely not permitted. This wiki is never supposed to contain first person or This Troper. It doesn't matter if articles already contain natter, you should never add any, and it's better if you delete the existing one.

If you want to edit again, you will have to read Repair Dont Respond, Example Indentation, Examples Are Not Arguable and Conversation In The Main Page and promise to edit along those lines.

i would like to edit again after a long time not able to i think the reason for my suspension is me adding some unnecessary stuff at the trope page called alleged free games right?

Your suspension is for issues with your English. The apparent lack of punctuation in your appeal post is a testament to that.

Someone should be along in a minute to show you where you can get help with that; I can't remember where that is.

I have been suspended for my edits to the Fatal Method Acting page.

Here's what happened. I made what is deemed a "Large Change" to the Fatal Method Acting page, deleting the "Near Misses" section, on what I still believe is the entirely logical basis that an extremely long section of incidents that are not examples of the trope had no reason to be on the page. I explained this in the discussion page. A short while ago I revisited the page, only to find that someone had "restored" the page—reverted my edit—without making any explanation or providing any justification for why a list of examples of people who did NOT die during a performance should be on the page. I again explained my reasons on the discussion page. The edit was reverted, again, and this time I was suspended. May I ask why this action was deemed necessary, instead of engaging in conversation on the Discussion page? And if I am ever unsuspended and allowed to see the Discussion page for Fatal Method Acting again, will that page have any justification for the inclusion of the 100% natter "Near Misses" section?

Already did so, Best Of. I had this discussion with a mod two pages ago and it's tiresome to do it twice.

You didn't have this same discussion. Fighteer asked you to not add YMMV entries on the main articles. Your response was "fine."

In addition to that, I wanted you to read the pages I directed you to. If you're done reading them, I'm sure you can tell me what you did wrong and what you should've done instead. (This is to make sure you get it.)

And I got suspended for putting racism on a page. World war 2 article to be exact.

@Justin_Brett: Apologies; you did kind of get lost in the crowd. I've lifted the suspension; make sure you take things to discussion or Ask The Tropers before engaging in an edit war.

@Rawpower EX: I'm just wondering what you thought an edit like this on World War II would accomplish. I'd like to be hopeful and optimistic but I don't really see how we can treat this as anything other than exactly what it looks like. If that's your genuine feeling in the matter, then you're not welcome here or, I hope, anywhere else, ever.

OK, why the hell was I banned from editing? I didn't do anything that could possibly justify that.

When your old handle is suspended from wiki editing, it is considered very impolite to make a new handle and continue as you left off, apparently under the idea that we would not notice.

You have a serious problem with the Fate Stay X series, namely that you feel the need to be very rude when disagreeing with people who don't share your opinions.

Erm, what?

I didn't do anything of the sort. I have never created any kind of "new handle", and I was never banned from editing either.

You mean you aren't the CherryLover who was suspended for rudeness on the Fate Stay Night pages back in January of 2011? It's a complete coincidence that you created this handle with a one character difference and edit the same articles?

I don't recall ever being suspended. Certainly no-one told me I had been.

Further, I don't remember that being my account name, either. I recall always being "Cherry_Lover".

You would know because you were unable to edit on that handle. Why did you make a new one?

If I did, it wasn't intentional, and I don't recall that ever being my handle.

Honestly, it's over a year ago, so I have no idea what happened there.

Further, I have P Ms in my inbox about the argument that I presume I was banned for, so it must have been from this account.

Oh, further, here is a post from this account that I made in 2010.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=55q739ctngzqrdm4vyff20w4&page=44

So, if I was already using this account then, it can't *possibly* be me attempting to evade a ban. I have no idea what you're talking about a CherryLover, maybe it's a troll who was impersonating me.

I did some research. It appears that we mistakenly assigned the suspension to the wrong handle. The intent was to suspend you, but it was done incorrectly. When we saw a report of misbehavior by this handle, someone assumed you were ban evading.

Now that that's cleared up, the issue is that you're being very rude over your disagreements with other users. We don't tolerate that kind of behavior.

Perhaps I was a year and a half ago, but I don't see how I'm being rude now.
