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.)

I don't know who to talk to from here. I sent a message and composed another post but no one is answering me. What do I do from here?

~Four Five One: Please demonstrate your knowledge by adding appropriate context to the following examples that you added to Literature.War With No Name:
- Anthropomorphic Transformation: The ants cause this.
- Platonic Life-Partners: Mort(e) and D'Arc.

~Cleffa Girl 173: You just repeated what I said back without any additional information. That's a D in class. Is that how you want to pass, or would you like to try again?

~straguslore: Well, you finally replied cogently and coherently. Sort of. Five and a half years later. Okay, sure, why not. I'll let you edit again. We'll see soon enough if you've learned anything.

~Birdy18: Partly because you never posted here after being suspended. Given the context of that suspension: deleting examples of Complete Monster and Moral Event Horizon without checking with the cleanup topics for them — topics that you are participating in, mind — I don't see any way you get your editing privileges back. You have some kind of weird obsession with this topic that you've been in trouble about before, and the message doesn't seem to be getting across.

~lilac: This site has communication systems. Please use them, or at least pay attention to them. I'll release your suspension, but if you don't change your habits, you'll be back here again.

Ok I accept the non-editing part, but this suspension has kept me from using the Ask the Tropers tab

If you're banned from the wiki, what do you need Ask The Tropers for?
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Anthropomorphic Transformation: The Colony releases a hormone in the water supply, changing most animals into bipedal creatures with Humanlike Hand Anatomy. Platonic Life Partners: Mort(e) and D'Arc are very good friends, but aren't romantically involved. This makes sense, given one is a dog and the other is a neutered cat.

If I have questions about certain things or there's something I'm not clear on
~Willbyr: - Apologies for the long wait. There was some personal family issues that happened that I had to deal with.
The reason why removed the two fics was that one was given negative comments by two tropers and I thought that a badly-reviewed fanfic shouldn't be on Fanfic Recs.Bleach anymore. The second fanfic's author is a very adamant hater of the Bleach series. If you go through their tumblr you can find some anti-Bleach rants, including one here where he states that he does not like Bleach and thinks that it's poorly written and plotted. And I don't think it's right to promote a Bleach fanfic written by someone who hates the very series he's writing for.
Regardless, I'm sorry for my actions. I won't be making anymore edits in the Fanfic Recs.Bleach page and I will avoid edit-warring and editing without stating why in the future.

Hello. I was surprise to see that I have been suspended. I have been suspended before, mainly for grammar-related problems and because I was not using the Get Help with English thread. Since my suspension was lifted, I have used the Get Help with English thread for every trope I have posted. Two days ago, I posted a bunch of tropes to be proof read and I was ignored while the tropes posted by other people were proof read. I had a friend of mine from this website proof read the tropes, and I posted them. I asked Nombretomado why my tropes were ignored, and she told me to go to the suspension thread where to my shock I found myself suspended. I would like to know why I was suspended so I can understand what I was doing wrong so I can fix my mistake.
How sweet it is
You were released on the condition that you use the English help thread for your edits. Well, guess what you chose not to do. In the end, you still left grammatical messes.
Unfortunately, you may have blown your chances of editing again, since this is your second grammar-related suspension.

I don't understand. Every single trope I posted on this website I put on the Get Help With English Here thread. Every trope I personally made was put on the the Get Help With English Here thread and proof read before I posted them. The only time I ever didn't use the Get Help With English Here thread was when my post was ignored while the other tropes were proof read. And even then, I made sure they were proof read by a friend from this website. If I should have not had my friend proof read my tropes and waited for it to be proof read, and just asked and waited for an answer, then I'm sorry. But I'd like to know why were the tropes I posted ignored while the other tropes that were posted were proof read?
Here are some edits that purportedly werenot run through the Get Help with English thread.
You also were warned that your examples were overly long, but after getting grammar corrections, you still posted them without any shortening to the wiki.
Id like to talk about my editing suspension and how I can edit correctly from now on.
~Amiranda3883: You're listed as being suspended for "Problems with grammar, capitalization, improper punctuation, and not making wicks for shows."
Not only does this seem to still be in evidence in your post, but you also completely ignored our response the last time you came in to appeal back in May.

- Anthropomorphic Transformation generally involves a change in intelligence as well as in body shape. Is this part of what happens?
- Platonic Life-Partners: Is there some reason that audiences would expect a dog and a cat to be romantically involved? If so, specify it. If not, it's not an example.
Lost in Space
~Birdy18: Ask The Tropers is for questions and issues about the wiki. If you can't use the wiki, you don't need to ask questions about the wiki.

~gorobestboy: That is not what the Fanfic Recommendations rules say. If any person recommends a fic, that is enough, as long as it complies with the other requirements (no porn, no cracks/hacks, no self-recs). It doesn't matter if other people don't like it or don't like the author. If there's some dispute among fans, it doesn't belong on TV Tropes.
I'll let you edit again, but please keep these rules in mind.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Anthropomorphic Transformation: The Colony releases a hormone in the water supply, changing most animals into bipedal and sapient creatures with Humanlike Hand Anatomy. Platonic Life Partners: Mort(e) and D'Arc are very good friends, but aren't romantically involved, given that one's a dog and the other's a cat. Other characters sometimes mistake them for being an Interspecies Romance.
I'm pretty sure the reason was for creating a page for an anime series that I was unaware fell under hentai or for red/abandoning links. It won't happen again. I'd like my account to be unsuspended please.

Indeed, that's why you're here. While we are a wiki for works and the tropes within them, we will not cover any works that could qualify as porn, which includes scat/urine fetishes. We have an article on such matters here.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope Report
Understood. It will not happen again. May I be unsuspended?
To TV Tropes mods: No. I'm sorry: I haven't gotten into the habit of checking either messages or editing history. I have checked my email account, as I've had notifications from other sites appear there before.
I had not seen it as a conversation: more of an addition. The addition had already been there, presumably without any complaints, but I was not completely satisfied with the exact wording I used to get the insight across, so I tweaked it. I meant no offense to person's entry to whom I had added my post. I was worried about my own wording, not theirs.
While I thought it was an important point of consideration, I will not pursue it anymore, and I will take care to make sure that my future posts don't resemble responses to other people's posts.
Thank you for answering,
