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.)

Hm, I'd like to ask the exact reason of my suspension so I can see how to solve the problem from then on.

~Palestine12:

  1. You've been adding images of questionable taste and quality to a lot of Nightmare Fuel articles.
  2. Your grammar is really poor — way below our standards.

The image thing aside, you have to improve your writing if we're going to allow you to edit again. You can use this forum thread to ask for proofreading help with your wiki edits.

I wish to appeal my suspension,with your permission.

If I did something wrong I'm so sorry,this made me really upset. Because I'm still thinking that it's unfair to suspend someone without having civil discussion about that issue. They could've sent me a PM to discuss about the issue for example and we could've solve it. Although, I got suspension without telling me nothing even if I left my explanation in there very detailed.

~Truue Fi: You were edit warring on YMMV.Life Is Strange. That gets you suspended automatically, so you come talk to us about the problem. It's an invitation you can't refuse, so to speak. If you have a disagreement about a trope example, you discuss it somewhere other than in the wiki article. We've got lots of places for that.

The subject of the edit war is another matter: the ever-ugly mess that is shipping. If you're just here to argue for or against a pairing, please realize that we don't allow that sort of thing. It's ugly and accomplishes nothing.

However, that's what I was trying to say. Issue wasn't about 'shipping'.. just to opposite that's what I was complaining about. It was about giving wrong facts about all sides,hence why I was trying to delete it.

I didn't know I may automatically get suspended for spam (even though my intention wasn't trolling,spamming or anything), thanks for clarifying. And sorry again So my suspension will get recovered or always stay like this?

~Palestine12: Your problems are twofold. The images placed on Nightmare Fuel pages are scrutinized more than most because that is such a subjective area; many of the pics you put on those pages simply do not qualify. The more pressing issue is your extremely poor grammar; English competency is mandatory to be able to edit the wiki. You will have to post all of your potential non-image edits in the Get Help with English thread before you will be allowed to further edit the wiki...only when you have displayed competency there will you be unsuspended. Is this clear?

EDIT: You're not suspended from the forums, so you can submit ideas for images in the Image Pickin forum.

Hi, I've been edit suspended for 6 weeks now. I think I now know why I was suspended: I neglected to use the image picking discussion boards before changing the images on some tropes. How would you like me to I prove that I won't do this infringement again? If that's not the cause, can you please show me why I got suspended? I was told to appeal my edit suspension here. Can you please lift my edit suspension? P.S. I posted here 2 weeks ago to get my suspension lifted. I asked Septimus Heap (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/readpm.php?id=3229760) about it and he told me that I probably got missed that time.

Thanks

~Truue Fi: Let me try again. It's not "spamming", but conducting your argument in the wiki articles that concerns us. Use the Discussion pages, Ask The Tropers, private messages, or the forums to work out the disagreement, and only then should you make a final edit to the article. That's how we work here.


~Vampireandthen: It's like a stream of consciousness from you, isn't it? The PM flag is coming from notifications that we've replied to you in this thread. If/when your suspension is released, you'll be able to see them.


~CH4S: We did reply to you, back here, but you appear not to have noticed.

Since it seems that you've gotten the message, I'll release your suspension.


~NNinja: Your edits show significant grammar problems, and also some stylistic errors. Looking over your latest addition, to Does This Remind You of Anything?, gives me a bit of a headache. First, it's not entirely clear that the enormously long section about Ace Attorney even belongs on that page. Second, it contains a lot of redundant list openers, restating "done for dramatic and tragic effect" several times. Third, the individual example descriptions have indentation and grammar problems, as well as tense disagreements.

You also added an example about Tsukihime, which contains an incorrectly indented second-level bullet. The description is highly ungrammatical as well. "Makes Shiki's killing of Arcueid is somewhat... questionable." is gibberish.

Oh, that. Those weren't, strictly speaking, my examples. They might've been here longer than i am. They were in Video Game folder, i just moved them from Video Games to Visual Novels, since VNs mixed with regular games when they have seperate folder was pretty confusing. I haven't really looked them over, i haven't checked if they're valid or gramatically corect, the only change i made was correcting You's age in Ever 17 example.

Good to know. I was wondering why I was getting those.

Also, I have been making excellent progress lately. I was really down in the dumps in depression yesterday, then I remembered some techniques I had been taught to deal with this stuff, instead of giving into the negative thoughts, I spun what happened into a positive by examining what happened and finding the exact positivity I did. Really turned myself around. If this keeps up, by next week I will be all ready to come back.

So are you gonna tell me when this suspension will be over? I'm still looking for this answer.

I would like to edit again. I didn't intend to edit war, I honestly thought the edit and entry were justified as it had been over a week since I explained why it was the trope in the cleanup thread and nobody had contended it since then, leading me to believe there weren't disagreements.

So can I get my edit rights back? Someone took it away for adding some relevant information in a collapsed note...

Scsigs from NY, USA Since: Jan, 2015
#16171: Feb 2nd 2018 at 10:13:06 AM

To add to my previous post, I'm pretty sure it was for someone removing something I put on a YMMV page under the excuse of it being "flamebait," despite it not being anything of the sort, since it was put as a hypothetical & wasn't meant to start a flame war, nor do I think it was going to, especially with the information given on the main page for the topic being much worse with the "bowdlerization" section. I really don't think not being able to edit is an appropriate punishment for that, given the context around it, unless there's ANOTHER reason I'm not aware of.

Plus, I like to think that I've done more good for this site than bad, so I really don't think this one thing is really fair to punish me over.

Doing some catch-up...

~/@Scsigs, you were indeed edit warring on YMMV.The Jonas Brothers. Periphery Hatedom is marked as Flame Bait, no matter how hypothetical it is phrased or how evenly you feel your example is written. It is not up to you to singlehandedly arbiter a trope's categorization, especially via an edit war.

Lastly, edit wars are a clear violation of our wiki rules, and being a good contributor elsewhere does not give you a pass.

~/@N Ninja. Please rewrite this example to conform to standard spelling/grammar.

* In ''VisualNovel/Ever17'' after Kid has a dream that's weirdly simmilar to what actually happened when he was sleeping Sara suggests he had out-of-body experience. When Kid unwisely mentions PowerPerversionPotential of said idea Sara smacks him.

~/@Truue Fi, I'll release your suspension, but please review Edit War. Adding/deleting contested examples are always a red flag for us and will consistently result in a suspension. Talk them out in discussion, ATT, etc. as Fighteer mentioned earlier.

Will be catching up on the rest soon, thanks for your patience.

Yet the warring was completely unintentional on my part. I legitimately just thought it was how I phrased the example that caused it to be removed. Even so, I wouldn't have put it back after the second time. I didn't even know that that example doesn't go by itself as an example on the page of a work until I actually looked at the page. This is all based on a misunderstanding & happenstance, not any serious maliciousness on my part. I wasn't intending on warring at all. I get that that probably was what it looked like, but you really can't judge me as an editor on this site based on a few edits of a page, now can you?
