What for?

apparently he made a new account (called dNor since he had changed his name to Vehemence) and post hard core porn

Well, that wasn't very bright...

I've been vacationed 8 times, the last one was for a whole month, since I joined and even I know not to do that. :laugh:

haha 8 times? damn i think that beats me. once i posted a thread called "nice pussy" and posted an actual.. yeah. 2 months.

Yeah, I can't even remember half the stupid crap I've been vacationed for. Once was for no reason at all (I posted a thread complaining about the forum split up) but I got that straightened out with the help of a mod who shall remain nameless. Someone just hit the ban button and didn't even put any notes on why I was banned (BTW-They do keep notes). ;)

Some of it was warranted though. I'm certainly guilty of saying stupid and/or insensitive things from time to time...sometimes I go to far depending on my mood. :p

Your record here is NEVER expunged. It goes with you to your grave. :p
Which is crap, because as Jules said, there were definitely some bullshit bans back in the day.

I can't even imagine what's in my notes. I'm sure it's not pretty...and/or made out to be a bigger deal than it really was. :laugh:

I'm a bit surprised I've never been banned, or even threatened with a vacation... But then again, I've never spammed links to hardcore pornography, so I think that works in my favor.

Well, I've never done that either.

I've gotten vacations for the following reasons...and probably a few others I'm forgetting:

-Posting fake news stories in ATOT and in P&N (they were really funny).
-Posting certain letters that stand for 'In before the lock' (neffing) in a thread.
-I think a parody thread or two may have been involved in one or more of my many vacations.
-A couple times I was just being an insensitive jerk in someone else's thread (one of them was a thread about the death of some stupid fake wrestler who offed himself and his family).
-Suggesting that a member of ATOT offer to slip his member into some idiot (who is not a member of ATOT) who was being a racially insensitive douchebag. Nobody in that thread could figure out why I was banned including the guy who posted the thread.

The last one was my most recent and the one that earned me a month off...:roll:

I think I got banned once... for about 10 minutes. When inquiring about it I was told that a mod might have been screwing with me.

I got a week long vacation about a month ago for having a quote in my sig...apparently I had some PMs from mods in my inbox that I hadn't responded to. They get mad about that.
