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.)

[up][up] As long as you follow the rules of those sections, yes.

[up] You know, there are good and bad ways to appeal a suspension. You've found the latter. Goodbye.

How long will my suspension be? Also, I think I should wait until I at least finish the Main Story before I complain about it's villains... I'm new here, so I don't really know everything about the time it might take. Sorry about that... Guess I'll just have to play spectator for a while... At least I won't get bored since, after all, there might be enough stuff here to last a life-time.

~Lunatic0verlord: Yes, welcome to the wiki. We suck you in and keep you, and the best part is that it's all voluntary.

I do indeed recommend that you lurk for a bit to get the hang of the place, and feel free to ask questions. I'll release your suspension.

hello there! it's Zany and i was wondering if i could edit again! i haven't edited in a long time and i didn't even know i was band. so i'm sorry. you see, i wanted to add this to the Shikamura Nara entry "Fridge Logic- unless you can consider that fact that not only was Hidan possibly the easiest Akatsuki member due to his immortality but he could have provided information (through mind reading) about the Akatsuki’s plan, how many members there are and their powers, the locations of their bases, how many Bijus are left (which could lead Konoha to either rescue them, kill them or get their villages to be involved earlier on). It could also help locate Itachi (and catch him off-guard) and thus easier for Konoha to locate Sasuke and also prevent Sasuke from falling into the hands of Tobi. It would also prevent a lot of innocent deaths in the future arcs, including Shikamaru and Ino’s Dad. Basically, everything bad that happens in the coming arcs could have been prevented if Shikamaru didn’t take his revenge on Hidan."

~Zany Hedgehog: The reason you were suspended was because you inserted that Fridge Logic entry into a main article rather than where it belongs — on a Fridge subpage. We call that Natter and it's something we try to prevent.

You also seem to have difficulty following instructions given that you don't seem to have read What to Do If You Are Suspended and instead sent PMs to several people to ask about your suspension before coming here. Even then, you're asking to have your entry added to the wiki, when it was removed precisely because you were doing it incorrectly.

You also have terrible English grammar. Even if we considered your appeal, we'd have to direct you to the Help with English topic so you can demonstrate that you can write acceptably.

In summary: we cannot release your suspension until you show that you can (a) understand and follow instructions, (b) write grammatical English.

Hi. I think it's been years since I was suspended, I might have appealed it at one point but never followed up on it. If I recall correctly I think I was suspended for an indexing issue or something of that nature? It's honestly been so long, I can't quite remember, but if I can know the issue I'll do what I can to fix it in short order if you'll allow me.

~His Infernal Majesty: You're right that it was for not indexing an article you created. That's a mandatory step; if you aren't clear how to do it, consult How Indexing Works or this topic.

We're more than happy to let you edit again if you acknowledge this.

Gotcha. I think I made a page on the Darth Wiki and made subpages for it under the assumption they would also be on the Darth Wiki but they ended up on the main wiki and were left without an index. Is there a way I can go about deleting the subpages - presumably after I can edit again?

I don't know if they were already removed, but if not, you can put them on the Cut List. Note that Unpublished Works may only go in Darth Wiki and they may never have subpages.

I'll release your suspension. Please ask in Ask The Tropers if you have any more questions.

~Vivacious Wallaby: To expand on DBL's comment: The only way you will be allowed to add to the wiki is if your edits are run through the Get Help with English thread, as your grammar and spelling are far below the standard we expect.

OK, here is the thing. The major reason for me to create the What A Idiot page is because of the characters, especially the antagonists, have done something silly, if not dumber, that will eventually screw them over. That it. I've read the manga series for over 2 years, and according to my observation, some people in the manga is just too arrogant, if not ignorant to do something clever to avoid anything that will chew them up, very hard.

[up]OK, maybe my description is too simple. I would like to explain more. It's not about hating the characters, its more about explaining their reasoning of making dumb decision that ends with sillier results. Because, you know, none of the silly stuff would've happened if the antagonistic characters do the smart thing. Then again, not every one of them willingly to swallow their pride to admit their undoing, are they?

  • The first example is where Yaeko made a dumb decision in thinking that Restaurant Yukihira is expendable, only to learn the true prowess of the restaurant itself: innovation.
  • Next one is the time where Soma is shunned by everyone in the academy thanks to his ambitious speech. Of course everyone want a piece of him and his partner Megumi, who also being shunned by the academy but on her case, her lack of communication and confidence. Two of the students are actually trying to get the bizarre duo expelled because they don't even like the two, and yet they are trying to do just that, right in the middle of Roland's class in all time. How is that smart?
  • Eizan is the king of this kind of trope because 1) he is overconfident that his plans works smoothly and b) he has a tendency in humiliate his opponent as bad as possible. How is anyone NOT hating this guy?
    • The sequel of Eizan's stupidity is just like the first one, only addition here is Eizan refuse to learn from his previous lesson and continue to do what he do best by manipulating Takumi and assuming that he wins . Guess how's that ended?
  • And of course, the Pro-Central Elite in general: You can't deny that these guys have the same tendencies in belittling the rebels and they thought that they're not on their league, even though not all of them are smug snakes like Eizan: Nene, despite not a cheater, is prided with her cooking so much to the point she doesn't believe Soma can topple her even after hearing his reputation before Azami's takeover ; Julio meanwhile keep on trash talking to Satoshi while mocking the Polar Star Polaris, which also home to some former and present Elite Ten Members, including Azami; Momo is a jerk for, like I mentioned before, belittling the rivals even after witnessing their prowess. As for Soumei? Yeah, he is the exception here since he is actually seen more respectful towards his rivals, so I made a mistake about him....

Can't anybody tell me how is that a hate rant against the series as a whole? I really want to know so I will not repeat my mistake that got me suspended. Can't I edit again, please?

I did re-add the Critical Research Failure trope to it, but I was for a different topic than what previously there & I acknowledged that Adam Ruins Everything had corrected itself before and that I was talking about stuff they hadn't corrected. I also include links to help prove my point.

When I saw that my edit had been taken down I was planning to talk about it in the discussion area, as per the rules, but then I found out my editing rights were gone and thought I should get them back first.

So can I please be allowed to edit again? Please.

~Unityd3v: Seems like you have grammar problems. I can't find any of them in the few most recent edits but I didn't dig deep.

~Eagleman: Yeah, it seems like you were using the page for a political agenda. In addition, the example is poor: Critical Research Failure is about things immediately obvious to everybody which the (de)merits of a border wall won't be, and that example spends too much time waffling around and relies on weblinks too much.

Remember the last time you were here? Last time, you edit warred in Trivia.Steven Universe. This time, you did it again—on the same page no less—this time over a What Could Have Been entry.

Do you remember what you should be doing if someone contests your edit?

~Unityd3v: Does this look familiar (from Characters.Naruto The New Era)?

  • The animé's Field Trip Arc it's shown the some of the first jutsu that she copied using her Sharingan, outside of Boruto's shadow clone, are lightning release jutsu from Buntan.

That's really bad, and some of the other additions to that article aren't much better. Further, you were sent a grammar notifier and apparently either ignored it or didn't understand what you'd done wrong. We're going to have to insist that you use the Help with English topic to get proofreading advice and demonstrate that you can write grammatically.

Unrelated but also relevant: you may never add an example to any trope that is completely spoiler-tagged.
