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.)

@Tabs thank you. It still says my edit permissions are suspended, although I'm guessing that will change.
Btw, does the communication rule also apply if I want to add a trope to a character from a media or to any media, for that matter?
I have been trying to make an effort to add more context to all the Zero Context Examples I have been accused of adding. I do make a point of coming back to them for the very purpose of adding to them. I don't always have the time to do that right away though. I have to think about how I am going to explain these things before adding further information. I don't mean to keep committing the offence in question because even I recognise that they don't contain enough of an explanation, I just don't recognise that the way you guys do.
@Septimus Heap Okay. Here. Apologies for the delay, it appears I didn't notice a response.
- Not-So-Cheap Imitation: Not-So-Cheap Imitation:
- Deadpool started as a ripoff of Teen Titans character, Deathstroke. In his early appearances, he was more of a standard mercenary character. However, when he was later retooled into the Fourth-Wall Shattering nutcase we all know today, the rest was history. On that note, Deadpool's suit resembling Spider-Man's was very much intentional. Rob Liefeld really wanted to draw Spidey, but the position was already filled and Liefeld was still fairly new at Marvel. Instead, Liefeld endeavored to design a character that looked similar, but with some alterations in color scheme and costume design, as well as an assortment of guns, belts and pouches.
Do I have to provide further explanation?
Apologies. Formatting glitched. Here @Septimus Heap

~omegasaint — If you're suspended from editing, you can't request edits except in the following circumstances, and requests can't go through this thread either way:
Also, you were previously addressed here and did not respond to that post.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.It still says my edit permissions are suspended, although I'm guessing that will change.
How long suspension will Last?
I won't do another Zero Context Example ever again. I swear. I will always remember to add more information from now on. I would just like to be allowed to edit again. That is all.
Only just got to read Synchronicity's message. I was busy with other things so I hadn't had a chance to read it. Right then, here is my revision of the respective edit I did upon request. I've completely rewritten it to make it less lengthy and more within what the trope is about within the show (Catchphrase) I am referring to.
If this is enough for my editing privileges to be reinstated, I'll be glad to fix and rewrite my edits.
- Adored by the Network:
- Aside from occasional removals, Catchphrase has always been a staple of Challenge's schedule since it was launched as The Family Channel in September 1993.
- In 2008, there was a period when Challenge reran episodes of the spinoff Family Catchphrase at 5:00 am every day.
- Since 2021, ITV2 airs reruns of the Stephen Mulhern revival series (namely the Celebrity editions) at 6:00 pm every weekday, with occasional drifts to 7:00 pm. It has gotten to the point that Catchphrase ended up replacing previous network darling You've Been Framed! as ITV2's main primetime show.

I'm so confused now. Was my correction test a trick question? Did I not get it right? Now the others correction tests look like what I was supposed to correct?
This appeal system is driving me insane.
I agree with Phantom Skyler
hi i was suspended for something about bad grammar mistakes in a proposed trope launch article, but i recently fixed up my writing skills. can somebody please lift the ban?
😅😅Hello there! it's been awhile, can my suspended be lift yet? Can't say I won't make a mistake in the future since English is not my first language. but I would try to make less mistake as much as possible and likely stay on niche games page mostly translate Japanese related game content.
Hi I have been improving my editing on get help with English here so I can make my edits to present tense more. Can I please have my suspension remove.

Fairly sure I got a suspension for trying to make edits on Stellar Blade's YMMV page after violating the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment a second time. I understand now that commenting on the various sides on how divisive the game is on social media, especially given the ongoing stink about censorship and the petition, is a no go, and I plan on steering clear of the Stellar Blade page entirely at this point because I doubt the controversy will die down anytime soon. Could I please be unsuspended so I can work on other pages?

I've also been checking back regularly about my suspension, apologised, answered mods responses. Any word on being able to edit again?
"Freedom is not a license for chaos" -Norton Juster's The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower MathematicsI'm also writing to check on the status of my suspension, as it's been a week since I attempted to apologize for it.
I get that the mods have a life outside of the wiki, and that there aren't that many of them, but it's kind of disheartening to see them be so slow about appeals when I genuinely do want to be able to edit the site again.
Since it's been days and there's still not responses to appeals from the mods, I'll repeat what I said last page in the hope of maybe not being ignored.
I posted in what was seen by the mods as a text with troublesome formatting (Zalgo) two times and got thumped two times because of it, the second thump ending with my suspension. It wasn't an attempt at ignoring the forum rules on my part since I thought writing in that text style a second time, just toned down was bad. I really means it and I apologize if it really seemed troublesome on my part, I promise to be more cautious in what text formattings I can use in my posts.

I'll be very honest since it's been two weeks since my suspension and taking an agonizing long time to get to any responses. I get the mods have lives (trust me I'm a dev for a fivem server so I know about volunteering to do stuff like this) but if the mod team doesn't have the infrastructure to handle this many appeals I honestly feel they shouldn't be suspending people for things as small as grammar and improper indention usage.
I just want to get back to editing pages and i feel a lot of members are getting frustrated over this appeal process and for the most part have learned to be more cautious of their editing.
I just came on to see if I'd been given rights back only to find a message from Willowleaf 24 in my inbox informing me that I hadn't indexed the headscratchers page for Three Body Problem and telling me how to fix it.
Again, I apologize and I'd very much like privileges restored so I can attend to it.
