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.)

I have been depressed ever since the movie came out. Star Wars used to be inspirational and now it promotes sexual violence.
For the love of... just go away, please. Peddle your grievances somewhere else. Also, Leia in a metal bikini.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Bumping this since no one noticed it.
I’ll once again try to write articles from a neutral stance. I think I’ll take a break from TV Tropes for a bit after I help trope for the SU finale and create an Ollie's Pack page.
I admit that I went overboard with the Shallow Parody edits. I apologize for this. Can I get unblocked? I promise I won’t edit that page again.

~Excelsior123, I spoke with the staff about you. Unfortunately, I'm afraid we cannot lift your suspension.
Deleting examples with no proper reasons is one thing. Slinging around words such as "whiny" and "butthurt" is another.

Oh, I see......
[edit] I still want to edit on the site though. I have to update the Xavier Riddle page, make some crosswicks, and create a page for Ollie's Pack. If I can't, no one else will. My goal on the site is to document things that other people wouldn't. I promise to stay away from the Disney Junior pages forever, and I won't complain about jessicadicicco610 ever again. In fact, I won't complain ever again. Please release my suspension.

~Palestinian: You've got a host of issues behind your suspension, the most pressing of this is your English grammar, which is far below what we expect for our editors.
Palestinian attempted ban evasion and has been bounced.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Hi there, I was suspended but have little idea why, and haven't received a message about the details of why. I would like to know as soon as possible, amend my mistake, and resume editing if possible. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I was about to make an edit on a page, just as I have done always for the past few years. But I received a notice that I got a suspension ban unexpectedly before I could for some reason. If I may ask, why is that so all of a sudden? I have no idea what I could've done that has made this such a problem now. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I'd like to have this issue resolved so that things can get back to normal for me. Please, get back to me as soon as possible. Thanks.
~Dawalk86: Can you explain what you were doing on Through a Face Full of Fur?
"Yup. That tasted purple."~Beatles1963, that's one way to put it. Moving forward, you can only delete YMMV if it 's misuse, or factually incorrect - and you should be using an edit reason politely. Whatever good you may accomplish by removing incorrect examples is tarnished by insulting others. Doing clean-up doesn't give you an excuse to act like a dick. All clear?
Clear. By the way, can someone clean up the anime folder in Shallow Parody? Because it almost entirely filled with general examples of how anime gets parodied shallowly, when the rest of the folders list specific works belonging to the medium named. I’m asking this because I just promised I wouldn’t edit that page again.
Edited by Beatles1963 on Mar 30th 2020 at 1:29:28 AM
~Beatles1963, we aren't holding you to avoid editing that page specifically. If you want to clean it up, and want to avoid any potential issues again, you can take it to a clean-up thread for soliciting second opinions. Or, Ask the Tropers. I will release your suspension.
Making sure we don't forget you, ~antihero276.
It looks like we got some questionable edits in UsefulNotes.Augusto Pinochet that we need to discuss.

Berrenta: Ah ok, I understand now. At the time I was trying to balance out the article a bit, because I saw what I believed to be a good deal of personal bias from previous editors in the writing that I was trying to clean up. Compared to the article of Fidel Castro that was kept much more balanced and neutral regarding him. I had seen some videos on the topic and thought it worth doing for neutrality's sake. I probably shouldn't have waded into the political quagmire of things, it rarely ends well, especially on a site meant to take a neutral approach. Some of my own personal bias probably came through in the process. My apologies if that was the case. I'll endeavor to avoid such things going forward, politics and controversial real life matters and figures. I usually prefer to stick to fictional characters, games, books and whatnot anyways.

~Jonerp, you appear to have not taken Fighteer's advice to you
. Why so eager to get back to TLP? Your editing privileges haven't been restricted.
When does suspensions actually end?
Edited by Jonerp on Mar 31st 2020 at 11:41:39 AM
~Jonerp: Your suspension from TLP will not be released until you have shown that you can use the wiki responsibly.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

~El Squibbonator: Fine, you get another chance, but there won't be any more.
~gman1982: No, that's not it. Well, you did accuse people of disrespecting you, but you have shown zero respect for the conversation yourself, so it's hard to blame people for getting upset.
"This sucks, this needs to die, this should be undone." Blah, blah, blah. We get it. Find something else to talk about or there's no point in letting you use our site.
