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.)

Ok so I'm back from work. Now let's work this out. First of all, you guys are morons and I hope you somehow manage to those sticks out of your butts. Second, unless you somehow manage to install some kind of tracking programm on every single PC and Mac I happen to use, you can hardly prevent me from going about my business of editing articles which is why I'm actually here. Third, a formal apology is not required because that would be an insult to apologies. Have a nice day.

I did try to revive DNDTR in protest of the deletion. That doesn't mean that I'm only a spammer.

I was waiting for a warning for when enough was enough. I think I got the hint now that i can't edit. Now can i please get allowed to edit again?

That's what you're going with? "I engaged in passive-aggressive protest of a wiki action until I was caught, now I'll behave pretty please."

I'd find it a bit more honest if you'd go out with an epic rant about how we're sucking all the fun out of the wiki.

The fact that the page was cut twice should have been warning enough. There was even a "please do not recreate" request by the admin. Why would you ignore that?

This isn't preschool. We shouldn't have to teach you how to behave. The rules exist, as does common politeness, and you are expected to abide by them. We aren't going to "warn" you about vandalizing the wiki.

Regarding your preschool argument: If the police prison people without a warning and a reason, thats police brutally.

Now for seriousness: I tried to get DNDTR pass the radar and failed. Thats where I stand now.

Ah yes, comparing the moderation policies of a privately run wiki to a police state. We never get tired of that one.

I'm just not seeing evidence that you have any respect for the rules here. Why should we let you edit again?

Sorry, I don't think we want someone editing the wiki who views getting suspended for deliberately breaking the rules as a nuisance and/or a symptom of a police-state mentality.

@shawn_allen: I found a few edits of yours that looked like natter, so I checked your history and found a significant pattern of it. This suspension is a way to unambiguously get you in to talk about it. Please read and observe the rules of Conversation In The Main Page and Example Indentation.

I've been blocked at a start of Edit War. The problem? Moderator was the other side of the war. So it's nothing more than abuse of his privilidges to "win" that war. It's double annoying as we already settle the thing down and I'm STILL blocked.

Nope, sorry, no dice. When a moderator says something, you listen. That's how our wiki works. Sounds like you were inserting your opinions about the quality of the work and/or its creator all over the article, which is against the rules. So, you are in the wrong here. Given this attitude I see no value in having you on the wiki.

You were not. Please read the articles I linked and look at the edits I reverted to see what you were doing wrong.

Here's an example, from The Final Countdown:

** In a Crowning Moment Of Awesome, the wings of the F-14s slide back when they get the kill order, just as a shark points its fins downward.

Errors:

  • You put CMOA in a main article. Awesome Moments are subjective and are only to be listed in the Awesome subpage of a work.
  • You added a second-level bullet to "talk about" an example. That's Natter and improper Example Indentation.
  • You added details that were irrelevant to a full understanding of the trope.

From Heartbreak Ridge:

** His Medal of Honor probably gets him some degree of slack. This also explains Jerk Sue and Military Maverick, above.

Error: This is talking about the example above, adding speculation (which is not permitted), and is a second-level bullet, for improper indentation. See: Justifying Edit. Also, Jerk Sue is not a main page trope, either. It's forbidden, in fact.

** He does show some (grudging) respect for Lt. Ring because he knows that Ring is exactly what he appears to be, a brand new officer, who hasn't had the chance to get his feet wet. Hightower adopts a sort-of-uncle attitude for the Lt. As for the Major, the "big football star" at the Academy, he knows that the Major will get people killed by trying to be a war hero.

Here, you tacked on a wordy "explanatory" paragraph to an already overly long example. The paragraph you added it after was also natter. See: Justifying Edit.

Sorry, but I don't get it. Does it mean that moderator is some kind of god-like figure and no matter what everyone is suppose to treat his words as final truth? If so, I don't feel any remorse for this ban, because it shows you are bunch of dickheads like on any other kind of wiki.

You are not allowed to editorialise articles to complain about how much you dislike the games that developer made and turn perfectly good examples into Zero Context Examples. Your opinions, or anyone else's, do not belong in the article.

Second, given what I see on The Witcher, your grasp of English is lacking, since you evidently cannot tell where articles in a sentence should go.

Third, if you have no grasp of civility, you are unwelcome in this wiki.

I wonder how trope examples and they redundancy once are ok and acceptable and once are stomped to the ground. Somehow the second is always in place when your opinion is different than that of moderator. So what is it? Self-appointed Commision of Final Truth and Censorship? And what actually piss me off in the whole situation that not only those tropes moderator got problem about get changed to old version. No, the whole article get back, slashing edits of other tropers and tropes completely unrelated with opinions. Bonus points for that as the moderator himself claimed some of those changes were good, but it was just easier to push single button than reedit two tropes as we agreed. Just lovely.
