Hello, ZRosscoZ

THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.

Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:

1. New User

Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.

If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. To start you off:

• Sign your comments using four tildes (like this ~~~~)
• To answer a message, reply on the user's talk page.
• These are the sysops. If you have a problem, talk to them.

These tips will hopefully prevent you from getting raeped by the ED admins.

2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.

Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.

Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list and ED IRC. If you need an admin, the list of active ED Sysops will let you know who's around. To chat with or to ask for help from other ED users, then please hit up the experts in #wiki on our IRC.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter. If that's not enough ED for you, feel free to join the all new ED Forums.

Automatic Block Notification

Your recent actions have triggered MysteryBot's vandalism heuristics and your account has been suspended for at least 24 hours, pending administrator review. If you were reverting vandalism or making a legitimate edit, contact one of the sysops (preferably WhiteMystery) to request unblocking.

To avoid being blocked in the future, please avoid the following:

1. Spamming edits. The preview button exists for a reason; use it.
2. Deleting large parts of an article or dumping excessive amounts of text onto a page. Major changes to an article should be discussed with a sysop prior to making them, for quality control purposes.

Note: You will never be blocked automatically for edits to your user page, talk page, anything in your userspace, or the Sandbox. These are all good places to work on something that might require a large number of revisions.

Love, MysteryBot
