Could I be banned, please?

[GeekDrew]

I'd like to be banned for 30 days (or, obviously, whatever the mods select). Please?

I'd suggest PM'ing them about this, rather than posting. From what I've seen, they're a little more...generous, as you've mentioned.

I have asked for a 2 month self imposed ban once, and the pm they replied with said:

You are the self in self-imposed. Take care of your life, and come on back when you are ready.

Good Luck. 🙂

Mod

Unfortunatly, I am addicted to this site so my self imposed ban lasted a few days. 😱

I suspected as much. I'm not exactly strong enough to stay away at the moment. Not due to the forums themselves, but a few certain people here. 🙁

Oh, and I PM'd the mods right after I created this thread.

So what did you do to get back on can you still pm while banned?

lol they didn't ban me. I just logged back in a few days later. 😛

But if you were banned, you can't send pm's.

We will be here when you get back. 🙂

Mod response: We're not your nanny, have some self control.

Go into your hosts files and add fourms.anandtech.com set to 127.0.0.1
Problem solved if you do not have the will power to stay away or unplug the internet.

Nah, that doesn't solve the problem. I use way too many computers. 😛

One would think that the mods would at least have the decency to tell *me* yes or no, rather than random members saying no.

Oh well, I guess I don't need to leave that badly. Perhaps I'll just get a friend to change my password and e-mail address for me or something.

You might want to be careful when you self-ban yourself. It's like quitting drugs cold-turkey, except you have no option to come back, thus you tear up your insides and scream and rage until you asplode into little bits.

NO - If you do not have the maturity to stop yourself, we will not assist you in preventing you from showing your immaturity

Ah, that sounds like the moderator we all hate! Thanks!

You're welcome

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

just give them a reason to ban you...I'm sure if you were nasty with them they'd help out
