Edit banned/Suspended - would like to edit again.

Go To

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.)

Why has my account been locked?

Because you appear to have been necro-bumping a large number of threads in the Roleplaying section.

~Kyle Brackman: It means posting in threads that have been dead for at least a year or more and adding little to or nothing to the discussion. This is discouraged all across the forums but especially in the role playing boards, which is where yours were concentrated.

~Fossils Da Da Da: In regards to your query refering to discussion: creating a discussion is not warring at all. Discussions involving a disputed edit are only problematic if the two parties refuse to compromise and resort to mudslinging.

As long as you get it, we should be fine. I'll lift your suspension.

~Kaneki Kun, sorry we skipped you. I just spoke with Fossils in regards to the edit war you both got into.

If you can agree to bring the issue to discussion, we can release your suspension. That understood?

Berrenta~ Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, when I went to the discussion page, I found that I am still suspended. Is there some sort of wait period I need to go through?

I was suspended for a rude edit summary on Jeopardy!. I realize this was over the top. I was reverting edits made by a user who has a long and circuitous history on many forums for spreading false conjecture on an incident that happened on the show in the late 90s. The user has constantly made threats on various forums to other people who have tried to reason with him, and even threatened the show itself, over this incident. The user's hardheadedness is particularly rage inducing at times, so I let my rage get the best of me when reverting his edit.

So I'd like for the suspension to be liefted please.

Then they should have made it where you can't post on them or should have deleted the page.

Fossils: Sorry about that. Lifted for real this time.

~Misstress Like I've mentioned when you appealed before, you were banned for edit warring. What could you have done differently?

~Kyle Brackman: There was a very clearly posted thread in the RP Board telling people not to do what you did. So no, we don't need to code things to do that because people should be reading the rules before they start posting.

I didn't read it. Also, it's not hurting anyone. If people are that worried about someone bringing something back from the dead then just delete the page. It's your guys' job to manage this website and therefore you should lock the old pages if the people who created them forget to.

~Twentington: I've asked for input by my colleagues. The fact that the other troper also made bad edits (including edit warring, hence they are now suspended) does not mean that an edit reason "piss off" becomes acceptable. And you have been warned and suspended in the past for rude edit reasons. Normally we wouldn't give additional chances but for your extensive history of contributions to the site.

While that might be correct, there's another part that needs to be taken into account. To settle an edit dispute, it helps if you and the other party engage in discussion.

Anyways, you should be set, Misstress. Lifting.

~Septimus Heap: I'm not saying it makes it acceptable, just that I admit my history with this user made me act with a lot more force than necessary. My past suspensions for rude edit reasons were a while ago, and I had thought I had gotten it all out of me by now. I almost never even USE edit summaries anymore for fear that I'll say something stupid in them, and this was a one time occurrence. I would hope that my otherwise good edit history would be enough to allow it this time.

Hello! I am posting because I have no clue what I did to get suspended and I would very much like to be allowed back, at least to post comments on things. Please help me out here?

Thank you so much in advance.

PS: I may add that I really hope I was not suspended for being rude... That's not typically something that is like me to do to others.

Care to explain those Beetlejuice subpages you made over a year ago? They have been cut for having content unfitting for those page types.

I didn't receive many comments on your editing behaviour, but you were suspended in the past already for rude edit reasons and got several warnings before. What is changed?
