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.)

@Berrenta: It was a stupid attempt to get myself kicked.

I wanted to start over on my life. I am getting therapy, taking antidepressants, and being more open about my pain with friends and family.

So I wanted to kicked from the site and come back with a new gmail, and better personality.

I deeply regret what I did, I hurt a lot of people in a desperate attempt to kicked.

I have a quick question: is there really no set time for how long a person is suspended?

[up] No, a suspension is released when we're sufficiently convinced that the troper understands the reason for the suspension and there won't be a repeat offense.

~Plasma Talon: To give you an idea of the problem we're seeing, here's what you put on the 40K Chaos Marines page recently:

  • The novel Shroud Of Night shows that the Legion's infamous warcry is just another of their attempts at misdirection. Kassar declaring himself to be Alpharius whenever he wishes to get the attention of a particular warrior.


  • The Spy Master: The Alpha Legion holds knowledge and intelligence gathering as one of its principle tenants. Creating vast spy networks using both cults and indoctrinated agents to find whatever secrets and information.
  • Spy Speak: The Legion uses a coded form of communication called "Serpenta" which mixes feigned conversation and body language. Allowing legionnaires to talk secretly among themselves while under surveillance.

In all three of these, the bolded parts are not complete sentences. This is something that was seen on multiple pages besides that one.

Okay I see the problem and if my editing privileges are returned I swear to be more careful and thorough with my edits and grammar from now on, as well as leaving proper edit reasons at the ends of my work.

@Willbyr Okay, I get it. I've been on suspension for a couple of months and I just needed some clarification.

I would like to negotiate the release of my suspension. I am on here for unknowingly starting an edit war on the YMMV/MLP Analysis page after trying to re-add a section of the page regarding real-life people that was deleted. At the time, I was unaware that the section that was deleted was not meant to apply to real life people, but only to fictional characters. I selfishly edited the page simply because that's how I wanted it to be instead of bringing it up on a discussion board and asking why it was deleted in the first place. Instead of trying to get the problem solved right away, I took a couple months off from TV Tropes and only came back to it a few days ago, which may have only worsened the situation in hindsight. I have tried to be more frequent in negotiating my suspension's release since I came back, but I haven't been able to make much progress, if any.

I am leaving this message in the hopes that I can prove to the moderators that I understand what I did, why it was wrong, and that I deeply regret it and that I can be more responsive in my replies.

~cyhh2002: You were told back in 2014 to cease using the nannybot that got you suspended, which you agreed to by switching browsers. Yet, you made a recent edit on Sleeper Hit that looks like the nannybot again. Madrugada was specific about your suspension being permanent if you did this again.

~Plasma Talon: I've released your suspension. Be mindful of the issue I brought up, and use the Get Help with English thread if you have questions.

So I've been suspended, I didn't even really get into an edit war with the person, I just got the feeling that he/she didn't like I'm not a shipper fan.

~Retrospect Greg: Removing massive chunks of content from a page (in this case Main.God Never Said That) with edit reasons like "These all reek of pairing bias" makes it pretty clear you're editing to push an agenda.

Fine then. I won't do it again. But I just hate the "na na na our ship is canon and yours isn't" mindset the Naruto shippers have. They're so petty.

I see that there is a message sent to me but I can't see it because I have been suspended from pming.

~Purpleand Red

Your ban is in regards to a review you placed on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Not only were you on a ranting crusade in the review and applying standards that don't even fit in the work's setting, one reply you placed in the comments mentions how a main female character should face torture and saying she deserves it because of her characterization. Saying that someone, fictional or otherwise, deserves some harsh abuse/death is something we cannot tolerate on this site.

@Berrenta But there is no confirmation on Hyrule's age limit for drinking, marrying, having sex, having babies, living together etc.. For all we know, their age limit could be the same as in America so I thought Link may have been disobeying the age limit to live with his girlfriend (out of love). And it may not be out of love, but he still could've lived with her alone which could've caused concern for Gaepora like how it caused concern to him in the fanfics.

I know it takes place in a medieval like setting.

I’m sorry for my grammar, I won’t do it again and I will make sure to not give you any more problems.

For now on, I will use the English thread and hopefully to improve my grammar.

~UtterKoala, I don't know what it is about the Complete Monster thread, but it seems to have people flaming out and then regretting it more than most.

You stomped your feet and you demanded to be suspended. Now you are suspended, and you would like to be allowed back in. We would need a very good reason to grant your request.

Can someone please acknowledge my posts?! I am fully aware what making a new account would do (no ban dodging) but you are not really giving me much choice when all my posts here are completely ignored!

EDIT: I don't actually believe my posts were ignored. I believe there is a bug that is preventing my posts from being seen and am unable to report the bug in the bug report section. Please, can someone see this? I am not being given much choice but to wonder if I should make a new account, these are extenuating circumstances. I was told to fix my grammar, that was months ago and I have gotten no responses in the grammar thread or here.

[up][up] I know, I thought it was a good idea at the time. I was wrong.

Please, I regret it enough already.

I don’t want to get too personal, but I want to get a better grip on my life and this isn’t the way I thought it would end up.

It was a stupid decision that I acknowledge as such.

~SimYouLater, you are not being deliberately ignored. Our apologes.

I see that from your latest appeal you said that you got not responses when soliciting grammar help.

The one time you provided some examples for grammar correction in the Help with English thread, it does appear to be missed accidentally. I offered here in October to take a look at any future posts, but you never posted in the thread after that.

Because of that, it's hard to determine if your writing style has improved enough to release your suspension.

~UtterKoala, when someone demands to be suspended in such a public way, even if they claim to regret it, we are understandably suspicious when they very quickly say they are over whatever caused it in the first place.

We are sympathetic to mental issues, but breathing time is needed. Come back in a couple months.
