Line 74:
We have [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|guidelines for why bans are applied and for how long]], and we hold ourselves to them. (Or rather, we hold each other to them.) You will never find your account permanently shut down because you posted something that an admin took offense to. That doesn't mean there are no permanent bans -- but you will never get one for just one post or edit, and admins are ''forbidden'' from lashing out at users for petty reasons. You have to ''work'' at getting a permanent ban here, and go out of your way to justify it to the staff. (Sadly, there have been a few people who made the effort.)
Also, if you think an admin banned you unfairly, call us out on it! You specifically have the right to [[All The Tropes:Policy for Wiki Staff|tell us when we're not following our own rules]]. [[All The Tropes:Contact us|Contact another admin]] and tell us why we made a mistake. We'll listen, and if you can convince us that the admin who banned you was being cranky, the ban will be shortened or removed. (However, if you did something that puts the entire wiki at risk, such as posting a pornographic image, you probably won't get the ban shortened.)
And if for some reason you choose to leave the wiki over a disagreement with the staff, we will ''not'' lock your account or any other crap like that. We're All The Tropes, we don't do that kind of stuff here.
