More importantly...

Just what did you do to get banned? Enquiring minds want to know!




At least then we will know what is viewed as 'unacceptable' behaviour.

<--- Once. In that neffing thread. LOL. The only way I got back was promising to erect a statue of the Moderators in my front yard....

I have been. It was sort of a mistake on the moderators part. I was supposed to have received a warning, but it got sent to Dabanshee instead. So, when I never changed my sig, they sent me an email telling that I had been warned, and since I did not heed their advice, I had been banned.

I told them that I never received the warning, because if I had, I would have gladly changed it. I did change it, and I'm back :)

Total ban time - 3 minutes :)

Twice! Once by some idiot at my school (so the whole domain got banned) and once by accident when the mods used wildcard asteriks to ban a domain.

How many lives does a cat have?

Seriously though, do you think that the banned members or formerly banned members are going to come in here and tell you. Isn't that like self incrimination?

I've got a couple warnings on my sig, but that's about it. Apparently the mods have some problem with the phrase &quot;stinky ass lightning&quot; :p

From Anand:
Almost once. I posted an Off-Topic (about the Chyna spread in Playboy) in the Hot Deals forum and when regulars decided to bitch n moan I FLAMED back.

Mod moved the thread here to the Off-Topic area and put in some stupid comments. That Jackass mod also sent me an e-mail bitching about my attitude. I imagine had I not toned down my e-mail reply before sending I might not be responding right now.

From AOL:
At least on 2 occasions. I can't begin to tell you what a RUSH it is (I know it's childish, but still) to jump into a boring chat area and work the crowd into such a frenzy that about 10 people at once bitch to a mod to boot me. One of the times I got booted for 2 weeks for calling someone a &quot;muff diving road whore&quot;

My roommate at the time got booted for 30 days because he IM Bombed a Mod.

there was a period last year when the moderators seem to have had some geinuine drippy tampon issues, but its gotten a lot better.

<--- once, but it was nothing to do with any neffing! ;)

(it was a mistake and luckily the mod was very understanding and helpful, and so I was back within a day)

I was banned once here by accident. But like (3) times at AGN (what was). Guess they didn't like me sticking up for by trading buddy RTM. After the first time they went trigger happy ;). It was all in good fun I guess, it was no more than a day at a time though.
