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.)

Okay. I'm sorry for kinda spamming this topic, but I didn't check it enough...I used too much natter. I'm sorry. That was wrong, and I shouldn't use conversation on the main page. I need to be more professional, and not use a conversational tone. My biggest issue was I tried to...edit posts with extra information, that wasn't really necessary.

I think, the best way for me to work on Natter, is JUST to work on adding new tropes, as adding to additional tropes was the most natter-y stuff I did. Would that help?

~Mitchell TF: Releasing your suspension is an all-or-nothing thing. We can't police you "only adding new examples", nor would we do so even if we had the ability. The question is: will you comply with our Example Indentation rules? If yes, please state them in your own words so we know you understand.

Well I wouldn't say can't (luckily its only a slight disorder), its just their is a chance I won't notice if the grammar/spelling/word/punctuation is wrong. However as I've said I am willing to take steps to minimalize this, or simply just not add any more edits if it proves not to work.

[up] And we ensure that you won't make erroneous edits by turning your editing privileges off, so you have to run edits through the help topic.

Well even I'm never going to edit again, I would much rather be unsuspended. Its kind of uncomfortable to have to keep asking other people to submit my approved drafts on the form pages.

If there is only one example, put it right next to the trope. If there's two or more examples, you use "**" to seperate them. Do NOT put the first example next to the trope in this case, it just looks awkward.

You can use "\\" to force a paragraph (But if you have to do this, your example is probably too long anyway)

Each new work gets a first level of bullets, so each work gets a "*", and not a "**".

If you have to use ***...YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. Stop. Go home, and rethink your life. It is natter.

Don't put subtropes under the main trope, in fact, if subtropes are used...just use the subtropes. You don't need to put that "Badass" if you can just list the SPECIFIC badasses. Or, just list the specific sidequests, and don't bother putting that a game has sidequests in general.

Quotes use "->", or "—>", or "—->", and so on. Make sure they are one level deeper then the example. Don't forget to expain them. This is likely where I messed up.

And, you're right that you can't police me 'just adding new tropes'...but I can. I don't want to be banned, and I don't want to hurt TV Tropes. It's a fun place, and I like being able to post here. Getting my editing privileges revoked...it is...really eye-opening. I didn't realize I was being that much of a pain. So...I want to make it right. I want to be a helpful member of the TV Tropes community.

Um, hello. My editing priviledge was suspended because I was using the Drumpf plugin. I used it in the wiki because I was too lazy to turn it off every time I came here, but I went out of my way to avoid going to any page Trump-related while it was on, so the suspension was kind of a surprise to me. It's been long since I removed it from my chrome and I feel like editing again. Would you please unsuspend me?

~Peixe200: It either goes off all the time or you don't edit. There's no room for negotiation here. Most plugins let you specify site exceptions; it's enough for you to set it not to run on tvtropes.org.

Well, okay. I wasn't really trying to defend myself here. I just wanted to say I didn't know what I was doing wrong and now that I know, I regret doing it. You know, asking for forgiveness.

~Peixe200: Okay, you're forgiven. I'm more concerned with whether you've disabled the plugin as we require. That is, it cannot run at all on our site; we can't count on you to remember to turn it off when you edit.


~Honeyishrunkmyself: Why, are you planning on ban evading? And what does that have to do with the topic of this thread?

@honey: It's a little funny that you should inquire about IP bans right as you create a sock. I suppose you're "testing the waters" to see what we can detect and/or what we'll put up with. Well, the rules are pretty clear: sockpuppeting to get around a ban is grounds for a permanent ban on all accounts involved.

It doesn't help that your actions immediately after your ban were to go around accusing people of censoring you, rather than acknowledge that you were disrupting a forum topic over a frivolous persecution complex.

Considering all of these factors, we'll be disinviting you from TV Tropes.

I apologize for all the mistakes I caused. Can you lift my suspension from editing and let me edit tropes again?

I apologize for doing something wrong, I read a post about this website being a good way to find readers who like certain tropes in their entertainment so thought I would give it a try. Not sure if me makeing two pages was part of the issue, I made a mistake on the first one and left the "Namespace Goes Here" in the url and it wouldn't let me delete or edit it even though I tried since I was so new to the site I guess so I made a new page.

The real page said this: This page was cut for reason: Blatant advertising; page made with the sole purpose for generating ad money from links.

While it kind of was for advertising it wasn't at all for making money from ads. To be honest I'm not even sure what all I posted on the page since I am so new to this site I think I just posted the description if I remember correctly, I might of posted links to the places the comic is being shown for free as well. Since the comic is still early yet I planned on curating the page and adding tropes as they were revealed I didn't want to spoil things for readers by giving things away that haven't happened yet.

I would really like to talk things over with someone and get an idea of how this site works more I hope you can see I meant no harm in anything I did its just I'm very new to the platform.
