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.)

Because you have made a unilateral decision to wipe them off the wiki whether they work or not. That is not an acceptable action. You are not simply cleaning up the ones that are badly written or confusing. You are deleting all of them, apparently because you don't like them. That's not how wikis work. A wiki is a collaborative work, not your private sandbox.

Why hasn't my ban been lifted?
edited 8th Oct '12 1:36:58 PM by Goomba98
I would like the suspension to be lifted, and if you could tell me why I got it so I don't do something off again.
Oh well... I didn't know that. I was cleaning them because in my YKTTW works people keep bashing me for having Example as a Thesis, and regard them as always bad. Now I know what to do.
A pit of mothingnessWell, that might have been convincing, that you got what you had done wrong, except for the Sarcasm Mode pothole.
But, with the tag, I find it falls considerably short of successful in persuading me that you understand why what you did got you banned, and even less successful at convincing me that you offer more value than bother to the wiki.
Try again.

Actually, that means and I'm going to issue that on Wiki Talk, and try to get rid of the real problem. Or then more people may do the same thing. That sarcasm is aimed to those people who bashes me, no offense. Seriously, constant bashing of thesis, snowclones and trope namers in YKTTW (and possibly the whole site) need to be dealt with.

A pit of mothingnessYou can certainly bring it up for discussion in Wiki Talk. In fact, that's what you should have done in the first place. But you'll need to have a better reason to outlaw things than "I get bashed for them in YKTTW".
However, looking at some of your YKTTWs, I see why people are telling you not to use Example as a Thesis. You're doing that, but not actually stating the trope clearly anywhere. Which makes your cleansing spree look like it was a revenge tantrum.
Do you get that people saying that something doesn't work in your YKTTWs is not grounds for setting out to methodically eliminate it from the wiki? And that I'm not going to lift your wiki-editing suspension until I believe that we aren't going to have anymore such vandalism?

Yeah, and I'm saying the things on the last post based on the fact that I know this already. Now I won't do such thing again.
Actually, I did that because I was mislead to think that every Example as a Thesis is bad, not because I wanted revenge. I figured that out already for trope namers and snowclones, but not thesis...

A pit of mothingnessWhy was I suspended? I dont remember doing anything wrong Although I think I mispelled a few words.
Speaking of which Is there any reason why we arent told about our ban?
Lunacorva: Suspension lifted. See that you don't Edit War again.
Goomba 98: Because saying "The phrase "rude edit reasons" doesn't say "insult" anywhere" implies you don't consider insults rude, which isn't particularly reassuring to lift your ban.
norsicnumber2nd: Launching Reality Has No Subtitles prematurely with horrid formatting. Pressing the launch button is not some kind of medal of honour that you must hurry to acquire. Work things like the name, the definition and examples on YKTTW, and for god's sake, don't botch the formatting. Ninja launches are bad.
Ukokira: This isn't some kind of lightning fast image board where you'll get 100 replies in a few seconds. It's a limited-use thread in which only moderators and suspended users can post, so I suggest you slow down.
With that said, your suspension is the result of your poor grammar and spelling which require everyone to clean up after you. Here
is a thread to help you with English. Oh, and when you find a YMMV item on main pages, you're supposed to move it to the YMMV tab.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - Fighteeri always move the YMMV items to the YMMV tab whenever I move items to YMMV i do it only when its marked YMMV and i put YMMV as my reason for moving it EDIT: and about my ban?.. And i meant lift date
edited 9th Oct '12 7:08:53 AM by Ukokira
Evidently you don't, since you just deleted the Fridge Horror entry on VideoGame.Superbrothers Sword And Sworcery EP to the YMMV tab, but just deleted it.
And I just told you about your ban. Your English is poor, with capitalisation, punctuation and spelling problems, (as evidenced by your latest post) therefore we cannot let you edit.

Send Ukokira a PM notification explaining the badness of natter: natter-fy
YMMV
oh yeah i was using the bad computer that time and had to go before i pasted it It was pretty much the only time i messed up on a YMMV transfer

Excuse me, can my ban be lifted? I now know that Example as a Thesis are not always bad, and should not be totally cleaned up. I'll address the possible problem after my ban is lifted.
A pit of mothingnessLu127 Yes. Sorry. I had been told that if a YKTTW seemed complete and there were not many more responses and you got a hat, it was good to launch. I was hesitant so I left it and went back to re-do (?) the YKTTW. Someone did help with the page, though, and I can't remember their handle. I'd never do it again, it felt wrong and now it's been explained I definitely won't until there are many users who suggest so.
Thank you for explaining this, by the way.
Though, one thing, your tone (though the message was typed) didn't come across very polite. I only asked. Sorry, again. I do want to learn. I probably sound like a whiny little puppy now, sorry.

You need five hats before a YKTTW is considered to be launchable.
"Yup. That tasted purple."Yes, it says five. I know that. I should know that. I promise it won't happen, not ever again.
I would like to edit again. Sorry but I usually use an Ipad and it can get screwy at time with the text box exiting out automatically and putting random puncuation marks in place. I like editing at tvtropes and the humor in it not seen at other wikis draws me towards it. I will rectify my grammar and spelling mistakes from now on. And I'm still wondering why we are banned from discussion but not Image Pickin discussions?
edited 9th Oct '12 11:19:25 AM by Ukokira
I know this is none of my business but I would like to add that most of my work is done from a tablet or a phone, and turns out just fine. Also, there is no 'e' in grammar.

Hmm... may I ask why I was suspended? Was it because I'm cleaning those Example as a Thesis?
