B A N

[MasonLuke]

Just curious. im not talking about a two week vacation in hawaii, im talking about the real deal. And if you were permanently banned, what would you do? Join another forum? Wreak havoc somehow to anandtech server(for the geek in you), or simply continue to enjoy anandtech although you can't express yourself in written form?

I write this because alot of the threads i post in, alot of little kids respond by writing BAN, lol, am i supposed to be scared? this forum may be your life, but its not mine. i enjoy reading and responding during my break time and if i get banned for one reason or another, its not the end of the world.


So are you afraid of getting banned from anandtech?

 

[JoeFahey]

You know...there are other things to do besides sitting in front of a computer screen on Anandtech.....

 

[mwtgg]

Who cares?

 

[jdoggg12]

The people applying liberal doses of bans probably do. haha

 

[KK]

BAN...Only idiots say that...

 

[spaceman]

Ban roll-on

 

[TanisHalfElven]

no freaking way. i'd get another account.

 

[Motek]

I would just re-signup.
But I can imagine for some people that have been registered for like over 4-5 years would be upset to loose their account.

The people calling BAN on you may be doing so because from their perspective you are acting like a troll.

Starting threads or entering threads to cause irrational discussion is the impression that you are making.

A perfect example is the Plane/treadmill thread.
The item was beaten to death, yet you continued to push the subject.

There is a difference between people calling out BAN in jest and when one starts becoming a PITA (ie. Goku/Mango).
Eventually being a PITA to others can cause you to be a PITA to the Moderators.

Above is some friendly advice.

I'm going to need you to withdraw your comments.

 

[Greenman]

I'd be annoyed for several hours, then shrug and move along. It's an internet forum, for all I know everyone else posting here is a script.

 

[Shawn]

no, I have tenure.

 

[DivideBYZero]

You should be, you fcking toolbag.

It is not wise to ignore a Moderator PM

See you in a week.

What the people are just letting others know that the poster (usually the OP) has a body odor problem that is bad enough for them to smell through the internet and that they need some BAN deodorant.

If I loosed my account, I would just tighten it.

 

[imported_weadjust]

BAN the OP

 

[thecoolnessrune]

I laugh in the face of the mods and crap in their cereal (and I piss in the mean mod's chianti.. shh.. dont tell anyone )

That is VERY unlikely.

[Kreon]

Naw, I'd shrug it off and find something else to waste my time on the net

I'd probly still go here and look around, especially for tech support stuff
(using the wonderful search system most likely)

Bans are healthy once in a while. Cleanse the ATOT soul, straighten you up a bit.

In all seriousness, of course not. Fear on an internet forum is for the little kiddies who post four letter words and run away from the computer giggling.

However, if I notice people continuously calling me out and generally maintaining that I'm a douchebag, I might be a little worried. *hint hint*

Does the OP want to append "Grammar Nazi-esque" posts, too?

 

[dartworth]

BAN spelled backwards is NAB...

 

[Number1]

From what I read so far from you especially in the plane thread, you are stupid, ignorant and a troll. I can?t imagine you lasting very long around here.
Keep us entertained!

 

[Mrvile]

No.

Eh, I've been banned plenty of times. (I think 6 at last count). It hurts the first time...but then eventually it stops hurting and starts feeling..different...each time it happens.
