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.)

Thank you nombretomado I will pick the second one, but I give you my word I will only correct grammar mistakes and links. When I want to put in new trope examples I will message you or others for permission.

I am greatly tempted by the first one, and think it might be beneficial when using this site in the future.

~Yellow20, I am telling you firmly and politely: do not message me or others for permission. As I said earlier, if you want to add your own example, I highly recommend the Get Help with English thread to assist you with any grammatical errors needed. I can also recommend general-purpose threads like the Is this an example? thread, if you're unsure if your example fits a trope, or Ask the Tropers for general/miscellaneous queries.

Your suspension is released.

~nombretornado: I do not really understand what it is I have done wrong (have my own opinion? Not like a particular character?) but if I promise not to edit GOT pages anymore, can I be un-banned?

@Septimus Heap I'd like to inform you that although they didn't reach Single-Issue Wonk level over it like I did, Oecchi and NoobMaster also make edits that called D.W. The Sociopath. While I was the one who initially added The Sociopath to the Western Animation Sociopath subpage and D.W.'s character trope list, Oecchi went along with it and added a few other paragraphs to D.W.'s character trope list that called her a "borderline sociopath" (which have now been removed) as well as a Depending on the Writer entry that said that D.W. varies between being a typical Annoying Younger Sibling and a "borderline sociopath" depending on the episode (for which the term "borderline sociopath" has now been replaced with "Bratty Half-Pint"), and NoobMaster added a Hate Sink entry (which is about the character Cousin Cora from the episode "D.W. Thinks Big", not D.W.) that also said that D.W. "can be "borderline sociopathic from time to time", which, again, had that part of the entry removed. While I understand why they didn't get outright suspended over it since they didn't reach Single-Issue Wonk levels over the subject, I am nevertheless not the only one who made such entries about the character.

Hi again, I have made a lot of grammar progresses in "Get Help With English Here" forum. Is it enough for me to get unsuspended? If no, I'll practice more.

There are also some entries that I added to Arthur: Younger Children before my suspension that may also be wonky, so now I'm self-denouncing them here so they may be [nja]-ed if need be.

  • Creepy Child: The fact that she seems to outright take pleasure in making Arthur's life more difficult with no remorse makes her come off as this.

  • Enfante Terrible: While she's more bratty than outright evil for the most part, she does show shades of this at times. An example can already be found in just the show's third episode "D.W. All Wet", where she is shown to be smiling while having a dream about Arthur being drowned by an octopus!

  • Sadist: Sometimes, she seems to like making things hard for Arthur just for her own amusement. In fact, "The Short, Quick Summer" seems to imply that she believes it's the role of a little sister to make her older sibling's life miserable.
    D.W.:I was trying to make him feel rotten, and he feels great. I'm a failure as a little sister.

I also added the above quote to Quotes/Sadist.

That being said, while the content of the entry may be wonky, I legitimately think that Enfante Terrible itself might actually be a somewhat valid trope for her, because according to what I've heard (I haven't actually seen the episode in question for myself) the episode "Arthur's Big Hit" apparently had her being visibly reveling (with a smug smile) in the fact that Arthur got hit by a bully who's much bigger than him as an indirect result of her breaking his model plane. That level of Lack of Empathy goes way beyond even what is usual for for a toddler.

I also added the following entries to the the character list of a crossover fan webcomic where D.W. is featured as a character:

  • Asshole Victim: It's very hard to feel bad about her being kidnapped considering all the crap she has pulled and her generally horrendous and bratty behavior in her home series.

  • Damsel in Distress: A little girl whom The Nine have kidnapped. Not that she didn't deserve it, of course.

  • Kick The Son Of A Bitch: Or in this case, just Kick The Bitch. The Nine are indeed legitimately evil and dangerous people, but absolutely no one is going to argue that D.W. didn't have her kidnapping at their hands coming to her. Well, except for Jane.

  • Would Hurt a Child: They kidnapped both Marcus McCloud and D.W. Read for the sake of furthering their goals. In the latter's case though, it could be argued that the little bitch had it coming.

As well as this one on YMMV/AGENCY and Unintentionally Unsympathetic:

  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: D.W. Read. The readers are meant to feel sorry for her because she got kidnapped by The Nine, but considering both what a horrible little bitch she is in her origin series and her being mean to her fellow captive Marcus McCloud (she even throws a book at his head at one point), it is hard to see her as anything but an Asshole Victim, even if she is a young child, and just as hard to feel anything but anger that Sandy and the Pink Panther have to save her.

This one on Asshole Victim:

  • AGENCY has a non-lethal variant, with D.W. Read getting kidnapped by The Nine. Considering what an absolutely insufferable little bitch she is in her origin series, it's unlikely that many readers of the comic are going to feel bad for her, even though, technically speaking, she didn't do anything to bring the kidnapping on herself.

These ones on How to Break a Family:

  • Asshole Victim: Averted with D.W.. Although in canon she was a Spoiled Brat who tormented her brother on a regular basis and was rude to many other people as well note  there is no indication that her having been a Bratty Half-Pint as a child isn't canon, Arthur and her parents are still worried when she gets kidnapped, with the former even swearing vengeance on the kidnapper when she comes back fourteen years later, and as mentioned on the show's Characters page, she did have several Pet the Dog moments in canon.

  • Kick The Son Of A Bitch: Averted. Despite D.W. being a selfish Bratty Half-Pint who was rude to many people including her friends at times, nobody in the story is happy that she was kidnapped, not even Arthur, the person whom she bothered the most as his Annoying Younger Sibling.

  • Turn the Other Cheek: Despite the fact that D.W. pretty much treats Arthur like crap in the show, he's still upset when she gets kidnapped and wants to see her saved, and even swears Revenge on the culprits after she's found.

And finally, this one on Fan Works / Asshole Victim:

  • How to Break a Family has D.W. being kidnapped and tortured, but it's played with in that despite her being quite an unpleasant character in canon, Arthur and the rest of her family still wants to see her rescued.

Although these entries are about how D.W. isn't treated as an Asshole Victim, they may still come off as wonky.

I believe I am in a much better place mentally and with recent developments in California, I think that I won't be in as bad a place going forward as how I was when my suspension was brought on in OTC.

I would like to apologize for how bad things got with me.

So I would like to ask that my posting privilege be restored in OTC.

~thegatorgirl: Your suspension is for your edits on Characters.Thirteen Reasons Why over the Bi The Way entry. That page has been restructured per decision in the Trope Repair Shop, and all wicks to it are being cut. Adding it back after it was removed constitutes an Edit War, which is not tolerated.

Sorry for the delay, ~Serene Specter 13.

I am checking the edit histories. Oecchi has not exhibited this behavior in their edits to the Arthur character sheets, but I may dig elsewhere. Noob Master...I'll be asking the rest of the mods about that user's Moral Dissonance edits.

~ Willbyr, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it was being restructured and had been previously removed when I added it. I'll double check that sort of thing in the future.

Edit: I just went back and looked, the second time I actually added it to a different character on the same page. I didn't even see that it got cut from the first character I added to until you mentioned it here.

~NickTheSwing, watching you slowly become more unstable and frantic in OTC was not a good experience, and I don't want you to go back in there and have the whole situation happen again, if real life situations devolve again.

We want to recognize that each individual is going through a tough time right now, but there is a line we have to draw where you are lashing out and making the forum a worse place for others. That is the point you got to. What's going to happen if real-life suddenly takes another downswing? Can you recognize your own inability to post productively and curtail yourself, or are we going to have to intercede again?
