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.)

And I promise not to do anything like that again. I just realized how wrong it was. Happy holidays, hope you'll unban me and hopefully I'll THINK next time. I didn't even know how wrong that sounded until it was too late!
RIP RashandFierce December 24, 2015 - November 17, 2016 She shouldn't talk about little girl furries or 7 year olds crushing on toys~Firejewel: If you're going to play the "evil Fighteer is oppressing me" card and then rage-quit... okay. Do as you will. We did offer the suggestion of using the Help with English thread, and I wasn't entirely certain that you merited a permanent ban. You know the old saying about adversity and true colors?
~Laptop Guy: We're talking about third strikes a lot, I see. I'm happy that you're willing to play ball now; it would have been nice before we had to issue a suspension, when you were fighting with people who were (correctly) trying to remove your entries. This is reminiscent of your issues with example indentation last year.
It gets tiresome calling people in to talk because they fail to respond to attempts from other users to engage them. After this, no more chances. Is that clear?
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Then how will I add a trope that really should be on a page? I'm sorry. I'm 14, I have problems, I just wanted to make TV Tropes a better place, I did not know what I was thinking, seriously, a seven year old girl can't have a crush on a freaking Transformer knock-off just because of its voice actor, and little girls can't become goddamn furries thanks to an anthropomorphic leopard's voice actor! Jesus!
Maybe I can come back when I've learned to control what I type? Like, a few years from now?
RIP RashandFierce December 24, 2015 - November 17, 2016 She shouldn't talk about little girl furries or 7 year olds crushing on toysYou won't. We have plenty of young tropers who are capable of abiding by the rules, so your age is not an excuse. You have managed to accrue three suspensions in a month. We're done.

Okay. I guess I'm done. Happy holidays, hope your time on TV Tropes is better than mine. It was nice knowing you all.
RIP RashandFierce December 24, 2015 - November 17, 2016
I might be on All the Tropes Wikia though.
Goodbye.
RIP RashandFierce December 24, 2015 - November 17, 2016 She shouldn't talk about little girl furries or 7 year olds crushing on toysWhoa there, I'm glad I decided to check my mailbox one last time. I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I wasn't trying to suck up or guilt trip anybody. I was just under the impression that it's three strikes and your out. Heck I only wanted to walk away with no feelings of bad blood between us. I know you guys are just trying to do your jobs fair and balanced, I appreciate that. That's all I was trying to say.
Again I'd like to apologize for my actions. I'm sorry for not using the Help with English thread. If I am aloud back on, which I'll admit I wouldn't blame you if you didn't at this point. I swear I will.

This is the first time I get an edit ban. I guess the reason why I have a hard time living to standards of editing here. I wonder how long my edit ban is.
Yes, I understand. I will probably be going on a hiatus soon, though. Anyway, I'm ready.
Okay, I'm back and I think I know what I did wrong. I've spent the past few days reading past posts. First I'd like to apologize to Fighter and Laptop Guy. I "never" once thought you were oppressing me, and was never trying to play that card. Though I believe I understand how you may have gotten that false impression. A while back I suddenly realized I knew nothing of the command structure of this site and wished to learn. I asked on this page and admitted that it might not be the best place to ask.
As for the other matter. I apologize If I gave the impression I was fighting having some of my more controversial entries removed. Honestly I only ever wished to help in that endeavor.
Also as the Prehistoric park issue, I would love nothing more than to be able to fix any problems there, If they haven't been repaired already. If their are any other problems on pages I tried to fix I would love a list so that I could repair the trouble I inadvertently caused promptly and with grace.
I thank you for your time.
Okay... what did I do? I apparently pissed someone off unintentionally. What's up?
Big Jared Monkey: You may have thought you were being subtle enough that it would slip by, but editorializing on trope pages in not acceptable. This is the second time that you've tried to insert what looks, walks, and quacks like an agenda onto pages that need to be kept neutrally written because they're already walking the knife's edge of political opinion.
I like to know why I'm banned from the editing page. The last thing I edit was the DBZ Super YMMV, but I wasn't being bias on it.
Ok. I screwed up dearly if I'm suspended. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong so I can avoid doing it again for future reference? Thanks.
~Agent Trunks: Regardless of bias or lack thereof, what you did on that page was an Edit War, which is not permissible.
~Shadeblade11: Your suspension was also for Edit Warring, on Characters.Dragon Ball Super over Kyabe's name.

Oh... Sorry about that. I'll keep that in mind when I, well, basically steer clear of that name entirely in this particular site. Though in hindsight I should've added Spell My Name With An S instead of what I had done for that particular instance... Probably all of the Dragon Ball Super ones that have quite a contention in name variants.
I still don't have my editing privileges back. I apologized for my earlier behavior, may I please have them back.
What agenda? I added what I thought was a perfectly acceptable example to a trope page, based on the fact that it was a perfect example of the trope. Seriously, I'm not pushing any sort of agenda. There's no "secret plan" in place to "incite violence" or what-have-you.
I'm guessing this goes back to Nobody Ever Complained Before. Like I said, the other guy's objection was that I was apparently having a conversation in the tropes page. Okay, I could see that it might look like that. But the removal of the general statement that appeared just prior to my example nullified that objection. I was no longer responding to anything, but adding in an independent example. So I don't see what the problem is.
I mean, I apologize for whatever it was that I said or did that pissed somebody off. I'm not here to antagonize. I'll play nice. I'm not saying I won't. I'm not here to play games or cause trouble. I just don't get the problem with what was otherwise a perfectly appropriate example to the trope, and I don't see what you're talking about when you accuse me of "being subtle" as if I was working on some sort of secret plan or something.
I was in an edit war? With who? The last thing I can recall editing was the "What Measure Is a Non-Badass?" trope.
I'd like to recieve another chance. I promise not to unnecessarily edit pages unless they need some.
Hey guys! I'm just someone you may not know, but l enjoy Tv Tropes a LOT!I do want to set record straight on why I did edit the "What Measure Is a Non-Badass" trope was because I believe it was using the trope incorrectly regarding "Goku Black". The description about him sounding more like someone gushing over him rather than explaining what he wasn't competent character despite being the main antagonist & the "Heavy". It already made clear in the YMMV the "Goku Black" is a well-received character under the more appropriate tropes "Ensemble Darkhorse", "Evil Is Cool", & "Memetic Badass".

Update please. I'm still banned from posting on OTC.
Plants are aliens, and fungi are nanomachines.~probablyinsane, we'll give you another shot. If you begin racking up thumps for the same behavior, you will find yourself here again.
~agent-trunks: Here's the problem. You didn't include any explanation in the edit reasons when removing the example, and, when another troper posted an edit reason asking for further conversation in the discussion page, you instead edit warred by removing the example again. You could have quite easily participated in the conversation. Pages are a community effort. If your suspension is released, you have to use edit reasons and engage in conversations when there is a disagreement - instead of steamrolling forward. Can you do this?
~Someone Who Does Stuff: Your post begs the question of why you were editing in the first place, if you don't think that the edits were needed. Regardless, you are adding Zero Context Examples and stubs, and in general do not seem to understand editing style.
~Big Jared Monkey, this goes to your edits on Straw Misogynist and Misogyny Song, which, combined with previous edits and suspension, smells distinctly like an MRA agenda that we are not interested in hosting.
~1204UFP: you still haven't provided an explanation of why you were adding Zero Context Examples to Characters.RWBY Monsters And Enemies. Your fervent belief that someone fits a trope isn't enough for an inclusion; you actually have to write out how they fit the trope. You also have issues with indexing, grammar, and making stub edits. Until you address these points and demonstrate you will not continue committing these errors, your suspension will not be released.
~Shadeblade 11: We always go with the official spelling. That being said, if you have a disagreement, talk it out over PMs, the discussion page, or even ATT. Do not go and continue pushing your edit. Got it?
~Firejewel, use the Get Help with English thread
. Your suspension has been lifted, with a word of warning: if we see you back here again, it will be the end of the line.
~Laptop Guy, your suspension's lifted.
~The Pat: Your edits on Characters.Cross Ange are problematic, given that they are both violating Example Indentation and not demonstrating what an Expy is. So, tell me this. What do you think an Expy is?
I think that's everyone.

Not really, since one of my posts in this thread went unanswered.
Answer no master, never the slave Carry your dreams down into the grave Every heart, like every soul, equal to break

I promise. I will take it to Ask The Tropers from now on.
