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 post multiple times about your appeal if it hasn't been a few days since your last reply from us, 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.)

~Dav1994: And what about the time you ignored a clearly posted instruction to not add an image to the page as per Image Pickin consensus?
Or it would be "ignored a clearly posted instruction" if you hadn't also deleted said clearly posted instruction as well.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
I thought the consensus said no images are to be posted until the digital or bluray is released. So when the digital was released, I thought I was able to post a higher quality image there.
If it's actually the bluray that we need to wait for before posting an image, then I'm sorry that I ignored it.
~Dav1994: The page instruction you deleted clearly said that the physical media release was the cut off point.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
uhm, hello?
Hi. I'm sorry I didn't get around to Indexing and Crosswicking my new trope sooner. It was late at night and I wasn't sure what to do. Please forgive me. I Promised Myself I Wouldn't Cry, but I am. That's how sorry I am. I want to fix my mistakes. Please tell me how.
Edit: Is there another reason I was suspended?

~Onerous Caprine You're here for rogue-launching the Armor-Piercing Statement TLP draft.

"Yup. That tasted purple."
I'm not sure what you mean by rogue-launching. Is that failing to index and crosswick? If not, could you please explain it to me?
Howdy there! Apologies for me taking forever to respond to my editing suspension. I'm guessing it was probably due to that time when I censored the word 'ass' while adding in a funny moment to the Double Toasted page. Don't know why I decided to do that when I made that edit but I promise it won't happen again.
Hello! Um... I was just suspended without any warning message or notification at all?
~Onerous Caprine: It means you launched a TLP entry without permission or consensus, long before it was considered ready.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
~Mark—Wilder, you were suspended for acting in an Edit War over Characters.Star Fox Team / OfficialCouple.Video Games.
~RIMC2017, it looks like you're running a nannybot that is automatically Bowdlerizing content - for example, your edits to the Funny.Deadpool 2 page. We do require that all nannybot/text replacement plug-ins be removed when editing on the wiki.
~ScrewySqrl, I'll release your suspension, just be more careful around the launch/discard buttons. I'll take you at your word it was a genuine mistake the second time around. We expect it not to happen again, given the explanations provided here and over PM. Thanks for coming in.

Perris of
Hello, I would like to have my editing privilege re-instated, please, thank you, and I will wait for any future response.
Mark—Wilder has been ID'ed as a sockpuppet to ban-evade for...Mark Wilder (que surprise). Ejected.
Thanks for the clarification. For the future, if I create another trope and it gets five hats, could I contact anyone of the staff first just to get their opinion on whether or not the trope's up to standards? That's what I want to do from now on. Just contact a staff member so I can correct any mistakes if my future tropes need fixing. Does that sound okay?
I think what happened was that I misunderstood the process of launching a trope. Since I had previously launched a page about a fanfiction series, I had assumed launching a trope would involve the same process. Is there anything different I need to do for launching a trope? I do want to contact a staff member first before launching future tropes.

What do you mean I'm not declared insane?
Ok, I read the post and I understand that what I did was wrong. That link you gave makes things clear now.
With this I swear not to go all crazy with subpages for my works. Can I have my privileges return now?
Note to self: Never bet on Entei.
Hi there, I assume that I suspended since I was the opposing party in the Edit War with Mark—Wilder?
(And I just recognised his user name and realised that this isn't the first time I've had this situation with him, even when I've requested discussion, citation or private messaging)

Yes, that's right. But not just one edit war, you carried it over into two trope pages. If you've been around long enough to have argued with Mark before he got caught sock puppeting, then you have been around long enough to know our stance on edit warring. Why should we give you a second chance?
Best practice is to leave your own work subpages alone. Can you do that?
That's correct. And I admit I am fully at fault for that. I suppose the only thing I can say in my defence in regards to this is that as far as my recent recollection goes, Mark is the only user of this site whom I have not been able to discuss things with in a civil manner before they escalated.
I know that's not a terrific excuse, and I should have used my better judgement but I'd like to imagine that I haven't been much trouble on this site otherwise and am sorry that I let myself and another user frustrate me into being part of any trouble.
I was suspended after Editing the Highrollers Dn D page. Not sure what I did wrong. Can a mod or something tell me what I did wrong so I can avoid making the same mistake?

~Kiwialamode, you were continuing an ATT-reported Edit War on Characters.RWBY Team RWBY.
Edited by nombretomado on Mar 17th 2019 at 1:38:47 AM
Completely forgot about that edit. Sorry about that. Didn't occur to me that I was about to enter an edit war.
Appreciate the apology, but it could have been easily avoided by checking the edit history, which would have also led you to the discussion page, where people were debating it. Are we good for the future, knowing how to avoid this next time?
Last time I edited the tearjerker page for Spiderman into the spiderverse, I added to the part where Miles was reaching out to that bit of good left in his uncle.
