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.)

And I guess I should specify that if unsuspended, I'll only use threads which have been posted on in the last 15 months or so. Is that better?
I love you, Krillin!! -struggling to breathe- I love you as well, honey..
I apologize for any rules I have broken. I have re-read the rules and realize what I have done wrong. Could you please lift the suspension.
Many thanks and very best regards.

So what did you do wrong then?
"Yup. That tasted purple."

Um, what about me? Am I okay now?

Piando, releasing your suspension is conditional on two things: stop necroing threads, and stop posting creepy shit in RPs. Neither will be tolerated if it happens again. Got it?

I understand.

Wait, could you please tell me what's so bad about necroing? Not trying to be mean or anything. My posts necroing were related to the original post by following its instructions. And by my assuming, "creepy" means sexual deviancy and harassment, as I would like the villains I play to have some level of menace and fear about them.

A thread that hasn't been posted in for months or years is dead. There is no value in bringing it back, especially if you are not going to introduce anything new to spark interest again. We're going to develop code to automatically close old threads; in the meantime, chain necroing is a bannable offense.
As for sexual deviancy, I don't care if you want your villains being creeps. It is an absolute no on this site. Find some other RP site if you want that.

Alright, I understand. So, I shouldn't bump or necro anything not posted in 2 months? And as for the other villain, that's a character trait in his movies. I've deleted him and said I won't use any other villain like him to another mod. If it will, it will be extremely downplayed.
I love you, Krillin!! -struggling to breathe- I love you as well, honey..

At least try to have something interesting to add, don't just pick it up as if it was last posted in yesterday. I'll release your suspension.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
I just discovered I've been supsended, have I done something wrong in the last few hours?
Oh and one other thing, I know I can't edit pages, but am I still allowed to contribute to other discussions while banded?

~MGD107: We require acceptable grammar and spelling to write on the wiki. As one can easily tell from your post just now, your English is substantially below our standards.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Oh, so does that mean I'm permanently banned? Cause its not through lack of effort, I honestly have slight dysgraphia.
Lost in Space
We offer you the chance to demonstrate improvement by posting examples that you'd like to add in this topic for proofreading.
Okay thank you, but does that mean I will have to submit every single proposed edit for proofreading from now on?
Lost in Space
Until we see that you can write well without assistance, yes.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Well the problem is due to how it works I can't offer any assurance of consistency in my writing. So even if I do manage it, that won't mean it won't slip up again in the future.
Lost in Space
How you handle this is up to you, but if we find you making consistent errors after this initial warning, the ban will become permanent. Can you work with that condition?

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Well I'm sorry. I had no intention of making them in the first place.
Well its sort of like dyslexia, things like homophones or punctuation sometimes get jumbled up in my head. Occasionally I even miss out words all together.
Thankfully its only slight. I can read over what I've written but I won't always notice the mistakes.

Then it's best if you have someone else add your edits after vetting them. That is, that you post your edit requests on the thread Fighteer linked.

Very well. By the way how does this apply to discussions?

A wiki suspension also locks discussions and Ask The Tropers. It's not granular.

Okay, thank you.

Just found out i have been suspended.
What should i do to go back editing?
So if I stop with the necroing, will I be unsuspended?
