MarioWiki talk:Appeals

???
Why was the article unprotected?--Holyromanemperortatan 19:07, 5 May 2011 (EDT)
 * So people can make appeals, which was the whole purpose of the page. Red_Yoshi_TTYD.png‎‎ Yoshi  waker  OrangeYoshiTTYD.png 19:09, 5 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Also, the only reason it was protected was because it was under construction.
 * Ohhh. Well thank you to both of you!--Holyromanemperortatan 19:12, 5 May 2011 (EDT)

This may or may not be a stupid question, but...
Can anyone put notices on a user's page if a reminder/warning given by him or her is in dispute and the user who received the warning/reminder does not alert the other user, or is this limited solely to the administration?
 * There's no rule against it. So, go for it.

Suggestion
It needs comments section badly.
 * I don't see why, people dog piling on comments will just lead to walls of text like the Proposals page and lead to unnecessary friction between users, besides most people will just state the obvious. Which while it'll be a big, big, big, help to use, it's not needed.

Look at me, I found a potential problem, ain't I something?
The page says that you cannot appeal a reminder issued by an Administrator, but the first appeal is one where the user that issued the reminder/warning was a sysop when the reminder/warning was issued, but is not anymore? It seems we need more specificity here...
 * Yes, but Jorge has been demoted since. Think of this scenario: I give hundreds of users warnings, for the reason "die". There's a 100% chance I would be demoted for that. After I was demoted, would those warnings be unrevertable?
 * ^What he said.

last
Are you allowed to appeal lst warnings? 21:02, 13 May 2011 (EDT)
 * If you are referring to your last warnings, those last warnings are valid.

Not these two. These are invalid.

.
 * @Superfiremario You can appeal any warning/reminder so long as it wasn't issued to you by an administrator.


 * The first one isn't because that was for userspace and for making useless redirects and flooding the recent changes log. The valid warnings SFM have are: this one, title=User_talk:Superfiremario&diff=prev&oldid=985719 here, this one, and this one, so I don't think he should appeal to delete these because one of the last warnings is also for editing on archives! 21:25, 13 May 2011 (EDT)
 * To answer the original question, you are allowed to appeal anything; so long as it is a warning (this includes ).
 * Yes, but those warnings are valid. 21:31, 13 May 2011 (EDT)
 * It doesn't matter. If SFM disagrees, he can appeal them, though the final decision as to their validity is up to the administration.

@DKPetey99: No. Just wondering. 10:53, 14 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Basically what they said, any reminder, warning, and or last warning issued by anyone other than admins is appealable, evne if it is painfully obvious that it's going to stand.

This is not very helpful...

 * It means that the reminder is not invalid.

yeah it just means the reminder was valid although just saying something like the warning was valid may be more helpful


 * Saying it this way is more formal and somewhat similar to what a judge would use in a courtroom during appeals ("the ruling/sentence stands"), which I believe is the format it's supposed to have.
 * Seriously? Isn't it obvious? It means the reminder grew legs and now stands, rather than the poor warning who sit all day.

Suggestion 2
It needs Archive badly.
 * Not yet. I understand archiving later, but not now.
 * This is a fabulous suggestion! Why didn't we think of it! It's not like we've only had two or three appeals on this page right now or anything. We were just gonna let it sit there forever and make this page the longest on the wiki!

Hey
What happens if the person who warns, reminders, or last warns you doesn't defend their case? 17:24, 8 June 2011 (EDT)


 * I assume it all depends on whether or not the warning is valid or not
 * Then they don't defend the case, they don't get a chance to show the Sysops why their w/r was valid. But the case still goes through regularly.
