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.)

~Rippingtons60: Give a whirl at rewriting these recent ones of yours from Characters.The Wizard Of Oz to have context. If all's well, then you'll be good to go:

Hey, I was wondering if there's been any update on my suspension? A month has passed and I'm still curious about it.

Greetings staff,

just noticed that I got suspended. Guess it was about my edit quarrel with some other user on the YMMV Aquaman page?

~Forenperser

Yes, it was from edit warring on the Aquaman page. What we find peculiar is that you demanded others to discuss the matter...on the edit that you started to edit war. Perhaps you should have listened to your own advice.

  • Dead Rising:
    • Jessie may be dressed in typical formalwear consistent with an office worker, but when she is sitting on the bed you can take a picture of her that features both her cleavage and visible panties. It is all but required to do this for the Photo Challenge that Kent offers if on a new save.
    • Cheryl most definitely qualifies, wearing a skimpy dress and asking you to have a photoshoot with her where she poses like a playboy bunny.

  • Dead Rising 2:
    • Amber and Crystal. From the mannerisms to the dresses, everything about them screams Fanservice. Their actions even start to imply Twincest between the two.
    • Rebecca is an example that is not called on often, but from Chuck “checking out the view” and Amber cupping her breast it is obvious that sexiness was the goal.

Is this accurate?

Hello, I wanted to ask how I would be able to get my suspension lifted. I read nombretomado's response to my last question about how I need to improve on my grammar in regards to editing. Where do I go to brush up on my editing?

~BronyoftheOctaves, I'm sorry that we left your case pending for so long. It looks like the Example Indentation wasn't touched on in detail, so before we let you go - look over that page, and correct this example:

  • Ensemble Dark Horse: "Quiet Beatle" George Harrison, who was generally overshadowed by the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, released the triple album All Things Must Pass after the band broke up. To this day, it's the top selling album by any solo Beatle.
    • His record company was even named Dark Horse Records, after one of his albums.
    • Two words: Brian. Epstein. The man is highly respected by Beatles fans for being the man who kept them together during their beginnings until his death in 1967 and it's usually discussed by fans that had he lived, the band's problems from 67 onwards would have been less dire. Another factor is the fact that he subverts the negative tropes of a band manager, being very liked by all the Beatles, to the point where Paul once said he would have been the "Fifth Beatle".

~Forenperser, suspension released. Just request people go to discussion instead of making that third edit next time.

~STARCRUSHER99, two things.

  • Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 are in the same series. As such, the first-level bullet point should indicate the name of the series overall, and then the second-level bullet point has the specific work in the series. If there are multiple examples in a work in a series, they would be in a third-level bullet point. For example:

  • Alice and Bob Trilogy:
    • Alice Alone
      • Example 1
      • Example 2
    • Bob Meets Alice
      • Example 1
      • Example 2

You also need to be linking, which we explained how to do here.

Try again.

Hey nombretomado, thanks! And it's fine, I understand you were all incredibly busy and the like, so I understand why it took so long. I'll be sure to fix up that error in the Beatles YMMV Page!

Again, thank you!

~BronyoftheOctaves, I think you may misunderstand. Your wiki-editing privileges have not yet been restored. Write up the above examples to conform to correct indentation rules as a post in this thread, and if it's all good, then you'll be set.

nombretomado, Oh sorry! I got a bit excited. I'm actually fix up this error right now, something like this? (I included the upper two examples to show the improvement, if that's fine):

  • Ensemble Dark Horse: "Quiet Beatle" George Harrison, who was generally overshadowed by the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, released the triple album ''All Things Must Pass after the band broke up. To this day, it's the top selling album by any solo Beatle.
    • His record company was even named Dark Horse Records, after one of his albums.
    • Brian Epstein is often regarded highly as well due to subverting the usual negative tropes of a band manager and being sort of a Team Dad for the band. His death is often considered one of the factors the band's break up.

~BronyoftheOctaves, I'm afraid not. As detailed in Example Indentation, if there is more than one example of a trope, then it goes like this:

  • Work name
    • Example 1
    • Example 2

The given section has two examples, so the proper write-up would be this:

  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • "Quiet Beatle" George Harrison, who was generally overshadowed by the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, released the triple album ''All Things Must Pass after the band broke up. To this day, it's the top selling album by any solo Beatle.
    • Brian Epstein is often regarded highly due to subverting the usual negative tropes of a band manager and being sort of a Team Dad for the band. His death is often considered one of the factors the band's break up.

(I removed the point about Harrison's record company because it was nattery.)

Make sure you are reading that example indentation page carefully. Your suspension is not going to be released until we're sure you have these rules down.

nombretomado, Alright! I've been reading the way it's structured and I've begun to see how it should be put. I'll admit I made an error on my part and I apologize! I'll use an example another example I've been planning to fix before my suspension for the Fishmans YMMV page:

  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Honzi, their violinist/backing vocalist. It should be noted Honzi's involvement began with the live album ''Oh! Mountain", where Fishmans began the transition from dub music to weird Dream Pop.
    • Record producer ZAK is respected by Fishmans fans due to his production style that redefined their sound into what it became, like with the aformentioned Honzi on ''Oh! Mountain".

  • ‘’Dead Rising Series’’
    • Dead Rising:
      • Jessie may be dressed in typical formalwear consistent with an office worker, but when she’s sitting on the bed you can take a picture of her that features both her cleavage and visible panties. It’s all but required to do this for the Photo Challenge that Kent offers if you’re on a new save.
      • Cheryl most definitely qualifies, wearing a skimpy dress and asking you to have a photoshoot with her where she poses like a playboy bunny.
    • Dead Rising 2
      • Amber and Crystal. From the mannerisms to the dresses, everything about them screams Fanservice. Their actions even start to imply Twincest between the two.
      • Rebecca is an example that’s not called on often, but from Chuck “checking out the view” and Amber cupping her breast it’s obvious that sexiness was the goal.

I tried to get the Dead Rising Series to be italicized by using the two single quotes, but for some reason it’s not working. What am I doing wrong there?

I haven't been on here since the 23rd and just found out I got suspended today without knowing why/what. I got one message about a trope being too long (fudged it by not putting in enough brackets) and immediately fixed it, which is the only thing I can think of unless I got mistaken for a spammer again because I did a lot of edits that day.

~K2Misfit, it seems that you appear to have a Single-Issue Wonk for some ATLA/LoK content, resulting in out-of-place complaining shoehorned into YMMV pages, per this ATT report.

Test Trope

‘’Dead Rising Series’’

Apparently, my aposotrophy is different on my keyboard because it’s just not working. I can even see that it looks slightly different than yours. Are you using a regular apostrophy or some kind of keyboard shortcut? Am I just doomed to not be able to italicize on this website?

I’m so confused at this point. It’s not your fault or anything, it’s just super weird.

Dead Rising Series

Never mind. I figured it out.

With this in mind, is there anything else I need to do before I can edit again?
