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.)

Oh right. I haven't actually answered your question, Berrenta. Sorry.
If someone undoes my edit, do I go to the Discussion page to talk it over?
~The Dead Skin: Yes. Also, be sure to leave things as they are until an agreement is reached
Since you get it, you're good to go.
Everyone else, be patient. We'll get to you all when we can.
~kaialone: I'll take you at your word. Your suspension is lifted.
~Bob Riddle: Your suspension is for improper edits on two Death Battle-related pages that are in violation of page-specific rules for what examples can be added. ~Berrenta issued your suspension; she may have more knowledge of the specifics.
~Otto: Your suspension is for repeated instances of improperly formatting one-word wicks and for both adding and Edit Warring over Zero-Context Examples.
To expand on Willbyr's comment for ~Bob Riddle:
- Suggestions need to have context and distinct connections between the two characters. No exceptions. So far, you failed to even adhere to this guideline and chose to shoehorn some nonsensical pairings.
- Each time your entries were removed, you threw in more rule-breaking entries.
- One entry you submitted also contained some Flame Bait.
I have waited long enough, and I won't edit war again without explaining things.
Could you please grant my editing privileges back?
Hello, I'm a regular browser who's been suspended for about a year or so now, overcoming my cold feet to ask for my privileges back. As far as I can infer, my chief offense was a habit of deleting the links to the main trope/work page at the bottom of Laconic Wiki pages without providing edit reasons. There were some that I felt weren't "clever" enough to justify being there when there is already a perfectly good "Main"/"[media type]" link at the top of every page. To me, eliminating seemingly superfluous text seemed to be in the spirit of Administrivia.Brevity Is Wit. I understand now how seriously edits that remove content of any kind are taken and resolve to provide (hopefully) valid reasons for every edit, and to think twice before deleting anything — and to not delete main page links at the bottom of Laconic pages at all. If there are any other reasons for my suspension, please let me know so I can avoid such behavior in the future.
Ah. So I am suspended for not immediately intuitively knowing that the arcane formatting requires extraneous characters and suspension was deemed a better option than dropping me a note somewhere to say "Hey if your title is only one word you need to put brackets around it." Got it.
Can you please provide multiple links of my supposed "edit warring" and explain why my contributions are deemed "zero context" when entries like (paraphrasing) "Blaggo. Oh gods, so much blaggo" are not?
~Otto: First, lose the attitude. It's doing you no favours here.
Second, jumping for the "why am I being punished while others aren't" doesn't work.
With those in mind, let's begin.
Can you explain where the context is in this entry you added to Main.Tragic Bromance?
And for the record, you were warned about proper formatting - we have records of you being informed about this on February 12th, along with the rude responses you made to being informed about the Zero-Context Example rules starting on Christmas Day 2018.

"Yup. That tasted purple."Hi there, I was suspended for poor grammar, even though I tried very hard to make the trope as understandable as it can be. I wish to be restore so I can help around more. I would wish further help with my grammar issues
Proof that giving any Internet rando even a degree of power will make it go to their head instantly. "We warned you a week ago but you, a relatively new editor, continued making mistakes!" Oooh, better weed THAT guy out right quick, he might continue making occasional mistakes! "You were a little salty when someone disappeared your edit to virtually ensure it would never be fixed!" Nope, that's not a problem with moderation style, that's on the (again) relatively new user! That's some mighty fine community building. Great work. EXCELLENT work.
Please have someone go in and remove all of my edits. I would hate to think that I am sullying your pristine greatness.

~Otto: Don't give us that crap. You've been registered here for something like six years, and have thousands of edits. We've had our rules for the same amount of time. You can go feel smug and superior somewhere else, now that you are bounced. And no, your edits won't be deleted, since you clearly haven't bothered to learn our contribution rules either.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"~Saru2019: While I do see that you have been using our Help with English thread to get advice — thank you for that, by the way — I don't see that it's made any difference. You continue to make serious errors.
The only way you will be permitted to edit again is if you actually demonstrate improvement.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"If this suspension is due to my edit on the BlacKkKlansman YMMV I will admit that the page would best only be edited by moderators. I still defend my edit as the example was more of a case of Anvilicious rather than what it was put under and the original post linking a Real Life group to A Nazi by Any Other Name when the trope is about fictional groups with clearly inspired by the Nazis and so it would be ill-advised to link any real life group on this wiki to that page.
I am one with the force. the force is with meIt was due to edit warring walls of text on Voodoo Shark, but if you expected a suspension based on other edits, we'll look into that as well.
I was only adding them because the edit reason as to why they were removed kinda missed the point of why they were in the first place (for example saying we're not supposed to know how the death star superlaser works when deleting an example about an attempt to explain how it worked). I posted the examples on the discussion page first specifically so if anyone disagreed they could give some constructive criticism since the examples did fall under this trope as they tried to explain a plot hole but added even more in the process.
I am one with the force. the force is with meI was suspended again. All I did was agree with a tweet from Hontas Farmer on twitter. There's a logical reason to think that Hideri is a trans girl. In fact,there are multiple reasons. Hideri is in Kirara Fantasia,which as you know,only hires girls. Furthermore,Hideri did what every single trans woman would do,that being struggling with which bathroom to use. Furthermore,Hideri also clearly wants to put female on identification papers.
~Non Troper: Whether the information is factually correct or not does not make agenda-driven editing and drama importation OK.
"Yup. That tasted purple."Hello,
I realized I was suspended from editing. Was it because of the edits I made in the Yugioh VRAINS pages? Though, throughout the days of suspension, I have been reading some of the trope pages and reading about how to write them and what I shouldn't do now.
Why did I get suddenly suspended from editing? I didn't even get a warning or notice. I just realized that my privileges were suspended one day. And is there like an instruction manual I can access for the commands? Because i'm getting sick and tired of leaving shitty posts because I can't find the correct commands for the system.
Sorry for getting out of hand in my editing of the FMA pages (I'm pretty sure this is why i was banned, but if there were more reasons I would like to know)... But I only have a question: I am suspended permanently??
I promise this won't happen again- I will be really careful of what I put on YMMV pages. I love this site and editing in it.
PD: I promise that the Fma 2003 bashing will not repeat itself
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=72796&type=att
That said, I think two of my entries weren't really bashing and were deleted without much thought and didn't even pass to the discussion zone

Hi,let's divide fiction and reality in tropes for others to see. Put down the sword pickUp the pen.I still don't know the meaning of lifeWell,I guess if anywhere,it should be under fanon on the YMMV tab. Person who talked to me about that, nice signature.
Please removes my suspension. I really want to edit something.
Vy Huynh~VyHuynh123: With grammar like that, you're not going anywhere. You were already directed with regards to what to do next.
The fact you've not done anything about it over the last two years isn't really helping your case.

"Yup. That tasted purple."

I am suspended without explanation. I would like not to be suspended and an explanation.
