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.)

Seriously, no idea whatsoever, im not very good with the profile page, and i cant see any difference on that page.
Superman beats gokuThat's because what you did has already been reverted.
So what were you actually doing here?
Along with on Main.Lampshade Hanging, Main.Only The Chosen May Wield, Shout-Out.Pokemon and Main.Loyal Phlebotinum, among others.

"Yup. That tasted purple."Explain what you did wrong, for a kick off.
I know my patience is certainly wearing thin here. Can't speak for the rest of the staff though.
"Yup. That tasted purple."Can the staff tell if it was on a tablet, or by the troper app.
Superman beats gokuYou're dodging the question, so I am going to give you one final chance. What did you do on that page, and what made you think it was OK?
"Yup. That tasted purple."Based on what you´ve shown me, someone on my account posted the word Fossil Fighters repeatedly on multiple tropes. I do lend people my tablet sometimes so it could have been that. I don t have the app anymore so no one could do that again if that was what it was, otherwise i have no idea. I´m sorry that this happened
Superman beats gokuY'know, at a certain point it's not worth dealing with people. You've admitted to sharing your account, and your account was used to vandalize the wiki. You're gone.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Hi, I have been banned for weeks and I would like to discover why. Can you explain my reason why I was banned?
You were engaged in an Edit War over on YMMV.Steven Universe.
"Yup. That tasted purple."I would like to be unsuspended. I insulted a user for an edit I found mind-boggling, and didn't respond to the moderator when he warned me about it in P Ms. I apologize for the former, and I didn't mean anything by the latter, I just didn't want to waste the moderator's time with a generic "Okay" response.
~Whistleblower: Here's what you sent via PM: "I just wanna send my passionate "Fuck You" for lowering my IQ with your politically correct garbage. "
So, yeah. "Faggot" is most definitely a slur that we do not use in casual conversation here, and your attitude about being called on it is completely unacceptable. Unless you can come up with something a bit more contrite to say about it, I think we're done talking.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I think you're confused. I never called anyone a faggot. In a certain movie, Freddy Krueger was called a faggot and some editor thought Freddy's mindset in that scene was "Wow, that's too far even for me". So I removed the entry and insulted the user who added that. I'm not repealing my ban anymore, I'm just taking from your wording that you're misreading the situation here.
What's there to misread here?
"Yup. That tasted purple."As I said, I'm not appealing my ban because I know I deserve it, I was just clarifying.
As this thread is to appeal bans, if you are not here to appeal, it won't be worth posting here.
Hello there. I would like to edit again. If you're wondering, I was suspended for removing YMMV information that I found personally offensive. However, I can assure you that that will not continue.
Actually, you are here because you appear to have a homophobic agenda, as evidenced by outright removing entries that center around LGBT. Worse, you were also edit warring. Edits focused on an agenda cannot be tolerated on this site.
I see. Well, I promise that I won't do it again. I wouldn't want to be permanently banned from TV Tropes.
Typically, it's tough for users that edit with an agenda in mind to get back to editing. Since you are being civil about it here, it makes things easier for us. I'll give you a chance. Just don't blow it by regressing into agenda-based edits of any sort.
Happy troping.
I got suspended due to an edit war involving where to place a list of rankings of Steven Universe episodes and their importance towards the show. It was on the SU Analysis page but then it got taken away due to it being misuse of the analysis page. But since I liked the list, I added it back. It got reverted several times, but then the list was placed on a new page (Just for Fun). It was just after it was moved that I got the suspension.
Well, the matter is sorted now, the list exists, but on a different and more appropriate page. Now the matter is sorted, I feel I should be able to edit again since there is no more urge for edit wars.
Thanks.
Also please don't judge me by my username. I made this account years ago and I deeply regret and hate my username.
Don't worry; we don't usually judge users by the names they chose, so you're fine there.
Anyways, your reason for being here is correct. Now, what is the real purpose of an analysis page?
To analyse episodes/the show. Possibly story arcs also.

I'll give you that. For works, analysis looks at either a trope or a theme associated with tropes and analyzes it.
You can read about the analysis namespace here.
You're good to go, so lifting your suspension.

Well, if you can't figure it out, then we can't risk releasing your suspension.
