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.)

~TotallyNotAnAlien, you seemed to understand the issue on your initial post here, which we appreciate. I'll release your suspension, but please note well what I told you initially. I've already had to intercede again in that thread for people ignoring the rules.
~kaneki1999, I asked you here where you looked to understand the rules. Please respond to that first. You should have looked in Administrivia.
So, now I can’t use the P Ms. Can I at least have those back while I’m being suspended?

~Beatles1963: Being belligerent to other users over P Ms tends to be a good way to lose those privileges, yes.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
OK, is there’s a reason why you’re being rude to me Deadbeatloser 22?

YSSMIAT31 attempted to ban evade and has been bounced.

That is not rude. I think you and we have very different standards for politeness, and how rules work. Your ban is now permanent.

Look, I know I have the tendency to be snappy, which I fully apologize. Please do not ban me.
How sweet it is
Sorry, Beatles, but perhaps it's time you depart from this site. Goodbye.

Hello mods! I was most likely suspended for having an edit war, something I take full responsibility for. I'm just curious as to how long I'll be suspended for. Thank you in advance!
Hey again Septimus Heap sorry to bother you again. I just wanted reaffirm my post on 24th about using Grammerly on TVT which checks and corrects my grammar. I would love the chance to edit again, not in order to make new mistakes, but to fix old ones that I see while browsing through pages. Wishing you the best- Y20.

I read the Administrivia to understand the tropes editing better. So I will make sure to follow the rules in this site and make sure to read the administrivia if I make an edit.
~kaneki1999, let's put that to a small test regarding context. Rewrite this example here you added to Characters.Mr Robot Dark Army to have sufficient context:
- Morality Pet: Elliot is this for him. He even lampshades it in a deleted scene from "Gone".
How sweet it is
It looks like not only were you edit warring, but also passing off unproven information as fact.
In addition, natter is NEVER acceptable, not even as a compromise.

I understand, and I apologize for my transgressions. Is there a time where I'll be un-suspended, or is that still up in the air?
to explain the context about the morality pet part...should I add a dialogue to support the trope?
And how will I rewrite the example? I am still suspended. Should I add it here?
~kaneki1999, adding context is explaining how that example meets the trope. You want to explain clearly what makes that person a Morality Pet. What do they do that shows that?
And, yes, write it here.
Morality Pet: Elliot is this for him. At first, he was hired by the Dark Army to keep an eye on him in prison. But as the series progresses, he seems to grow to care for Elliot and is the only person he is friendly with. He even helps Elliot smuggle hormones to help Carla in the "Red Wheelbarrow" book, saves him from being raped by the Neo Nazis and again in "Shutdown-r" when he save him and Darlene from being executed by the Dark Army (though it was under Whiterose's orders.) He even lampshades it in a deleted scene from "Gone" when Dom asks Darlene about why Elliot trusts Leon:
- Leon: 'Cause Elliot's my boy. Always has been, always will be. You know, sometimes it's just that simple, Dom.

And to be clear, should I make that trope as an Implied one?
This is one of my fears. That what if I didn't do what you asked to do. What if I made a mistake?
~kaneki1999, if you made a mistake, then we would work through it and see if you could resolve it. That's why we have people work out those questions here, so you can be set before editing on live pages.
That being said, that is a much better write-up. I don't think it counts as implied; if anything it seems played straight, since everything happens on-screen, as it were.
I will say that this write-up still has grammar and formatting issues. I can understand what you mean, but it's rambly and challenging to read. Here is a rewrite; compare it to yours.
- Morality Pet: Elliot is this for him.

Books (as I assume these were books) get italics (''doubled single quotes'') for titles, where you originally used quotation marks. Quotations appended to an example in a list (i.e. article quotes) get formatted like this:
-->'''Alice:''' Not everyone can win.
You can see both of these mark-ups on Text-Formatting Rules. Even disregarding those matters, I think the grammar merits using Get Help with English thread for the time being.
Furthermore, you need to understand that trope names do not get potholed - see Sinkhole: Instead of changing, you just list the trope under its normal title and then expand on it properly.
In addition, you added a Complete Monster example, without running it through the mandatory clean-up thread. If you checked out that trope page, you would see this warning.
Is that all clear? Do you have any questions?
Edited by nombretomado on May 28th 2020 at 7:56:35 AM
I understood. So does that mean my suspension will be lifted? And if there is any trope I want to add, can I check with you first? There is one more that I need to improve.
Edited by kaneki1999 on May 28th 2020 at 9:17:33 AM
~kaneki1999, your suspension will not be lifted at this time. You can use the Get Help with English thread to correct any examples you want to add. You will post there the example you want, the page it goes onto, and note that you are asking for it to be added on your behalf.
If/when you improve enough there that you need little to no corrections, you can come back here and appeal to have your suspension lifted.
Will B Good here— I realized I wasn't sure if my suspension was over my misguided launch of the Human Jack-o-Lantern page or over what I was doing in Magnificent Bastard.
Now that I know about the launch issues I will not do that again. (I fear I don't remember what I had done in Magnificent Bastard; I had a stupid moment and deleted the message thinking the suspension was over the page launch!)
~okthen789, I think that given the quality of TLP's you've begun, it's unlikely you have those privileges restored at this time. Usually, we would advise people to get more familiar with the wiki instead, but we suspended your editing privileges there as well, due to very poor English grammar. I'd recommend you try using the Get Help with English thread
. You bring examples there for correction. If you show enough improvement there, then you can come back here and re-appeal for getting your wiki privileges restored.
