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 post multiple times about your appeal if it hasn't been a few days since your last reply from us, 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.)

Because you suddenly started necroing old topics with pointless posts. So either you can't read datestamps or you've been indulging in a bit too much New Year's punch.

Ain't suspending a bit too... excessive?
And well, those threads aren't really old... Like, 1-2 weeks old at worst. I necro'd a lot of old ykttws and it doesn't get me banned, so.... I dunno if it was forbidden.
So what should I do to get my edit rights back?

Still, I only bumped a few threads and I suddenly get banned. Is this excessiveness necessary?
On what basis necrobumping gets one banned anyway?

Because you didn't stop doing it. And it is in the rules. Use your eyes.
This isn't a ban, just a reminder to behave.

Okay... I normally don't visit the forums much (aside from specific threads) anyway. At least I'm not gonna touch old threads again.

OK, please remember to be a bit more circumspect with bumping now. Suspension lifted.

I've been unable to edit for quite some time now. I have, in that time, familiarized myself with the editing rules, so as to not make more errors. I therefore request, respectfully, that I be allowed to edit again. Thank you.

~Tech Priest 90: Sorry, it was not our intention to leave you hanging. I'll release your suspension now.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Can I please be let back in? I personally feel like it's been far more than long enough now for that to be arranged, hasn't it? Please; I won't mess anything up, alright?
Thanks in advance.

~Xandermartin98: You should know by now that it doesn't work that way. First you come here to work out the issue, then we discuss releasing your suspension.
It seems that you still haven't gotten the message about how we handle fanfics and self-authored works on this wiki. Let me explain, again:
- You never add examples from derivative works on the parent work's article. That means no examples from fanfics on VideoGame.Cave Story (yours or anyone else's).
- You never recommend your own fic on Fanfic Recs pages.
- You never add YMMV examples for your own work.
That and you're still doing the Zero-Context Example thing.
I see a whole lot of not-getting-it from you. It's not worth the trouble to have you around any more.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
That was several months ago.
I understand that I've been failing to index the articles I create.
To be completely honest...
When I do try to index them, they don't show up.
Can you please tell me how to fix this and can I be unspended?

~Xandermartin98: No, it's a repeat offense. Your prior suspension was in June, 2014. We released it in February, 2015. This new one was issued in August. You sure do take your sweet time appealing. But the point is that you didn't stop doing what we told you to stop doing the last time.
~DATEMAY: We replied to your appeal here. You were not suspended for indexing, although if you have been doing it wrong, you need to fix it. You were suspended for recreating a Self-Demonstrating character page that had been cut.
I didn't know it was already cut...
I don't look up those things.

The fact that it was blank when you tried to edit it didn't tip you off?

Would it help to learn that the opinion about your participation is shared broadly across the body of moderators? You seem to feel that we're picking on you by denying your Workshop threads, when you seem unable to understand the requirements for a quality OP.
Edit: If the best you can offer as a response to a suspension is to accuse individual staff members of persecution, then we're probably not going to get very far.

Pretty much this. If you're going to dedicate 80% of a TRS opening post to whining that we never open your TRS threads then there's an attitude problem that we need to address.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Your tone isn't the only problem. You don't lay out the problem right at the start. You don't do a wick check. The TRS is not the place to rant about your personal issues in the post. We don't need your history there. We need the trope's history. The fact is, you're more of a hindrance than a help in the workshops.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick
In order to put a rename to the TRS you need to demonstrate an issue with the current name. "I don't like it" is not sufficient.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Uh... no.
Sorry.
Uh, why do I suddenly can't open forum threads?
