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.)

The moderators have responded to everyone but me. What’s the hold up? I at least should get an update on what I need to do get editing rights again.

It's been a month. Should be edit suspension be lifted?
Content Warning: My posts may involve my actions dealing with R-rated or Not Safe for Work content. Same for my edit history.
Forenperser suspended me just because he put the super speed trope under a Flash character who doesn't have it. Reason:
It's teleportation not super speed. And here's the proof: https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxthdBswg9/?igshid=tv09abbewwtd

~RyCyber: We've had enough of you. You profess to understand the Edit War rules and then you do it again. You've used up all your chances. Take a hike.

~Fighteer. I was about to make a post after he changed it back before I got banned. Are you kidding me? It barely escalated. It's not my fault the guy's an egomaniac!

I think there is only one quote that is appropriate for this situation.
"You are fired! (No, not you test subject, you're doing fine.) Yes, you. Box your stuff. Out the door. Parking lot. Car. Goodbye!"

Alright, ~PrincessPandaTrope, you're set to go. Please use this chance wisely.

I was banned back in November 2019 for changing One-One's pronouns on the Infinity Train pages from "they/them" to "he/him" because not only were "he/him" One-One's correct pronouns, but at the time I felt that "they/them" were incorrect pronouns for one individual.
I no longer feel that "they/them" pronouns are incorrect and would like to be unbanned.

~Khai Phan 2000: Look, you have already been told that the problem isn't the lack of sources, but that you aren't properly explaining how your examples apply and the poor grammar.
~Guckerman: The problem is that this is the second time you were suspended for the exact same issue. We generally do not give third chances, and your replies here are rather basic which makes me wonder if you truly understand what the problem is.
~Super Equality 07: Aye, that kind of edit and edit reason ("It saddens me that people fail to realize that there are no gender identities beyond male and female.") you did on Funny.Infinity Train was super unacceptable, as was the behaviours and review ("Steven Universe is not a cartoon — it's lesbian propaganda. ") discussed here
.
According to the notes on your account, you were supposed to be banned completely for this sort of thing. Bluntly speaking, unless you have completely walked back these earlier statements you won't be readmitted - this kind of homo-/genderfluid-phobia isn't wanted here.

Yes, I’m aware that going off on tangents in certain sections does not look good on my part, and I was simply oblivious that spaces were not allowed when inserting Wiki Words. But I still believe that I deserve another chance because of how minor these offenses were in their own right (I could’ve been a major troll or hacker instead).
¿Que pasó que pasó vamos 'ay?
Hi, apparently I was suspended, no idea why. I'm wondering if is temporal or do I have to request be de-suspended. Thanks.
Edit: It seems that my mistake was be unaware of recent changes in trope launch guidelines. In order to not repeat myself I leave the link of the discussion here. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13544789560A75740100&page=401

Mods, if you're reading this message then I have already made a post two days ago, where I detailed the basic rules of the Trope Launch Pad. I've already answered Berrenta's question about the rules and I would like to regain my TLP privileges again, please.

~Septimus Heap: I no longer think gender identities like "gender questioning" and "genderfluid" are incorrect.
In November 2019, I was still new to the concept of gender identities that weren't strictly male or female and so I wrote them off as nonsensical at the time.
But a year and change later as these identities have become more widespread, I've realized that these are proper gender identities and have come to accept them.
If there's 3 things to take away from this, it's with how I should read up more on what specific tropes are (some tropes I mentioned for The Loud House in Oddball In The Series are better suited to Early Installment Weirdness) , be clearer with what I want to talk about (I often type up a large amount of words in one sitting when trying to get my point across, meaning I often miss when I make a grammatical error or some other language oddity) , and not resort to bringing back edits I made just because they get cleared up by someone else (it helps to show that someone who's more knowledgeable on certain tropes wants to keep the integrity of the page intact) . Would I be able to edit again?
I've decided to use Microsoft Word to type out my additions before I post them. Since then, my editing and grammar have improved considerably.
My last few posts on the Get Help With English Thread have received very few corrections by those who have read them. There was also one post I made that didn't need any editing for grammar mistakes.
If my editing rights are restored, I pledge to edit and properly scrutinize my work going forward.
I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but can I ask why I was suspended from editing?

~Rebel Falcon, this is indeed the place.
As for why you're here, it looks like you were edit warring in MisaimedFandom.RWBY.
Edited by Berrenta on May 18th 2021 at 7:34:47 AM
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportI was trying to prevent an Edit War from occuring there. Renault kept adding examples of Trope Misuse that were more accurately Draco in Leather Pants and Character Derailment, even removing a legitimate entry the first time. Each time, I warned them that it was Trope Misuse and that if they attempted something similar they'd be instigating an Edit War, and that I would bring thr issue to the attention of the mods if this persisted.

~Luppercus — Yep, Administrivia/ is supposed to index all the rules of the site, and Administrivia.TLP Guidelines is one such page. Can you summarize what a Stealth Launch is from that article?
~Chrononaut 70 — Alright, since this is the second time for a TLP-related suspension, we will enforce your staying away from TLP for only one more month. If you post a request for release here after the 15th of June, we will honour it then.
~Guckerman — You could have been a hacker, in which case you'd have been bounced (a more severe form of suspension that is more permanent than what you have now) and would need to use the Contact Form in order to get un-bounced. You could have been a troll, but instead you're a vandal; inserting random comments into examples, putting trope examples in the wrong places, and failing to make proper links. As a vandal (just like a troll), other people have to clean up your mess. To prevent you from making a mess in the first place, the moderation has to suspend you.
~jessicadicicco610 — In 2019, you had promised not to Edit War again, and this not long after an unrelated suspension. This makes us reluctant to give you a third chance (technically fourth).
~redandready45 — We're talking about it internally, but you're right that your most recent posts have needed very few corrections.
~Rebel Falcon — You had created the subpage, probably by bringing over previous edits but it might have been all your edits (it doesn't matter). You then re-instate that version of an example involving Volume 7 and General Ironwood, removing other editor's contributions. And again removed, and again removed. You were already crossing the line established by Edit War with the second link, yet you persisted. This makes it seem like you feel that you have final say over which examples can exist on the page. You don't cite any threads or discussion queries where consensus was achieved. Because you crossed the line and didn't have wiki consensus to support your edits, we had to suspend you.
The following tropers are getting their suspensions released:
~jasonbres — That's much better. Remember to put context like that every time and keep an eye on the Example Indentation in Trope Lists rules as well (you currently have 5 notifiers for that issue).
~HBarnill — I got some feedback on your case, and the sentiment was that we should give you a chance to show a better trend of posting/editing. We appreciate that it isn't always easy, but we hope that you can do better.
~Super Equality 07 — That's a decent enough apology. Please keep in mind that if you do relapse into any hate apologia (especially in respect to genders or romantic attraction), you're likely to get permanent suspension without a chance to appeal in this thread.

¿Que pasó que pasó vamos 'ay?
Sure, it was explainned to me. I have made many launches but my latest was probably more than a year ago, maybe more so, I was unaware of the new rules (not that it excuses it tho, but still).
I do understand that in the hypothetical case I make a new TLP I'll have to advertise it with at least 24 hours, and also the ratio of bombs and hats has to be five and is not enough (like before) to have just enough hats.
PD: advertise that I plan to launch the draft with at least 24 hours in case someone has further issues to address.
Edited by Luppercus on May 19th 2021 at 7:19:17 AM
I made the subpage because the YMMV page was getting too long, and made subpages not just for that trope, but several tropes that were all lengthy enough to warrant them.
I "reinstated" the original version because it was blatant Trope Misuse otherwise. Misaimed Fandom is when the audience comes to a different conclusion than what the author intended. The directors commentary and comments from Word of God said that Ironwood was the Villain, and that the protagonists were in the right, which was reflected in the original entry.
by Tropers/Doodler. My only contribution was the add-on that Miles Luna confirmed his death and that it was meant to be a Karmic Death.
Later however, Renault 154 began editing. Their first edit was this add-on:
. I had intended to flat out revert it, but I was on my phone and forgot to hit the paste button, hence the second edit requiring I paste it.
That initially seemed to be the end of it, until coolwali added this to the entry:
. In this case, coolwali took the matter to the discussion, where they more thoroughly explained their intent. I actually admitted I understood, and even brought the topic up in the forum to get other tropers involved to see if they agreed with what coolwali was proposing. The issue seemed to be handled, with other tropers going there to discuss what could be changed and what could be kept...
And then Renault 154 did something else. Making another addition, again more accurately being an accusation of Character Derailment, but for both Ironwood and Ruby now.
to Renault 154 to dissuade them from taking further action so as to not start an Edit War. This time, Renault 154 did take it to the discussion... but hijacked the one with coolwali in the process. Their post simply reiterating their opinion the two were subjected to Character Derailment.
I responded that at this point, Renault154 was reaching levels of vandalism by trying to push their opinion and kept adding entries or changing entries to suit that, and that if they did not stop, I would alert the mods.
I would later be messaged by Psyga 315 and was informed they had already decided to alert the mods.

Since I did make noticeable improvements in my grammar and spelling, does this mean my editing abilities will be restored, as long as the quality of my work does not slip in the future?

This is about my editing rights being suspended again months ago. I took time off before finally deciding and figuring out just how I was going to respond to this. The contribution I attempted to make on the Nausicaa of The Valley of The Wind, I thought was relevant, but I guess I was wrong and I made a bad judgment, my mistake. I wasn't trying to start any editing wars on any page on this site. I also read about the Zero Example Context page. Now that I know more about that, I'll try to do better when adding to pages. Lastly, I noticed that a few contributions I made to certain pages are no longer available. Why were they deleted while others were kept? If whoever doubts the trope examples that I added to be credible, then one can check for oneself. Get back to me soon, please. Thanks.
Suspend me for how long?
Again. Sorry for the late because I was busier with some stuffs in real-life. And the reason that I forgot to explain the context of Jerkass in Technopriest page. And when will I get to edit again?
