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.)

~Jameygamer: If it's addressed to you, it'll have your name in it or arrows pointing to your post.

Your additions of that WMG were inappropriate not just because they were in the wrong place (WMG goes on WMG subpages), but because it looks like you decided to use the wiki to push your pet theory on everyone. That's not what we're here for.

So what do we do? Am I barred from editing again?

I won't do that. I'll put it on the WMG.

Theories as to why a particular release was done in a certain way don't go in WMG because we don't do WMG about creators, only about works.

Alright. Well, I'll keep that in mind.

Can I have my suspension lifted?

Sure, as long as you keep your opinions about these sorts of things to yourself.

That was part of it, but your grammar and spelling are quite frankly atrocious.

Hi. I'm suspended for an editing war on the Chris Stuckmann YMMV page. I still think that the edits were needlessly hateful and filled with misinformation but how I dealt with them went against the sites rules. I let my emotions get the better of me when I should have either gone to the discussion page or contacted a mod. I promise that if I disagree with any edits in the future, I will find a more productive way of dealing with them. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused and thank you for the time

I already know why I was suspended, because I was messing around in the YKTTW on a whim. I swear I won't do that again. I just need to know, how much longer will this suspension last?

[up] So, you admit to what amounts to intentional vandalism and you expect us to just let you edit again?

Sorry, that's not what I meant to say. I just assumed that prematurely launching multiple YKTTWs (creating new articles) was okay. I wasn't trying to be a troll or vandal. I was just acting on poor judgement, not malice.

From a private message I received:

You keep launching a bunch of YKTTW that are clearly unfinished: examples are few or unsorted, formatting is frequently messed up to add a slash after every apostrophe, notes to YKTTW are not removed, and much of it has an overly conversational tone). Also, once you launch a page you're supposed to put it on one or more index and add at least 15 wicks, otherwise no one will find the page.

To explain further... basically, I just (wrongly) assumed that I could speed up the YKTTW process all by myself. I understand that I made a foolishly impulsive mistake. I'll now think twice before I do that again.

I would like to edit again. At first I wasn't sure why I was suspended, but then I realized it's likely because I have word substitution extensions that I forgot to disable last time I edited. I have them all disabled now, and they will remain so from now on.

~AHI-3000: I'll release your suspension. We've unlaunched all of those tropes, or should have, and they will return to YKTTW to get properly finished. Don't do that again.

It's been a couple of weeks now and I'd like to start editing again. Can I ask for my suspension to be lifted? I'll use the correct formatting in the future.

Hi, it's been 3 days since I posted my request and a week since I was banned. It's only my first suspension and I'm just wondering if there's a problem. Like I said, I've accepted responsibility for abusing my editing privileges and will find better ways of avoiding an Edit War in the future.

Still awaiting further feedback on my suspension appeal.

February I inquired, got request for further details from Fighteer, gave them, then got a sebsequent reply from Septimus Heap which I didn't notice until I came back a couple months later: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=5cma6iojg5o27puhulc24sje&page=449#11210

April I did follow up on it though: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=5cma6iojg5o27puhulc24sje&page=469#11725

It is being misunderstood that a comparison between the bleached underpants of Malcolm Harris (Shrinking Sorceress to Witch Girls) and Jonathan Butler (The Cuckold to Bella and the Bulldogs) is a comment on their personal fetishes, which is not true, it is instead a comparison of their fetish WORKS in the past and the similarities to the later works they did aimed at young girls.

Pointing out they're both black isn't any more racist than mentioning they're both men is sexist, it's simply pointing out similarities.
