pretty sure I've been banned twice, though I can only remember one of the bans (joking about stealing Bush/Cheney posts off people's lawns... funny how even-handedly that "talking about illegal activities" thing is applied)
 
Yes, I was given a 1 month vacation for editing a mod's response to my post - which I didn't even do. The bullshit was plentiful before mods were accountable.
 
On 7/8/2005...I got banned for 2 weeks for posting:


27yr old man kills 17yr old wife with a .22 rifle

old enuff to bleed, old enuff to breed

How many times do you wipe your ass after you sh1t... (a discussion on clogging up the toilet because of using too much paper)

All within a 3 hour span... then i recieved a pm...
You are a disgusting individual... Goodbye!

yep, number of times

I only see 1.

You haven't checked the notes for his former AT names, have you?

EDIT: I've gotten two one week bans. I made a thread mocking Aimster, it was ruled a callout thread. Got a week off for that.

I also jokingly made a suggestion in a thread, after a mod edited someone else's saying no more suggestions like that. I didn't see the edit and got a week off. I protested and tried to appeal saying I didn't know about the edit (I really didn't see it) but nobody would listen to me. For that, fuck that mod.

Also, shortly after the LoKe incident, I made a joke about him fixing something that was broken at AT. Someone else there PM'd me to say that a mod had edited my post saying I got a week for cracking that joke. I went and looked and my post (and perhaps the thread) was gone, but I never got banned.
 
yep, twice.

Once about two years ago or so. Girl in my class was in Playboy and I posted a non-nude link to her page on the playboy site... Disagreed with the punishment, but no biggie. Two weeks off.

I was also banned most of July by my own accord, requested it to keep myself away for awhile.
 
I was banned in the "change of culture" thread.

Also for trolling (OK i was bored and deserved it).

for nested quotes (don't think i deserved it)

err i think thats it.
 
Nope. Never vacationed, nor banned. Nope; not me.

I got a three day vacation a couple months ago for neffing in a thread that the mod PM'd me the link to. By the time I clicked the link, the thread was deleted so I don't even know what it was.

It's a shame some of my best work has been deleted.
 
Yes, once by the No Sense Of Humor Mod. Or it could have been the Unable To Detect Sarcasm Mod. Not sure which. 😛
 
I got a week vacation for protesting DrPizza's modship of my thread(s) and they coupled that with previously making a "personal attack" against some anti gun guy...
Tough sh1t I guess. 🙂

Oh well, Dr. Pizza is a fuzzy monkey compared to some of the other mods. 🙁
 
Yes, and I might have the record for duration - somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 years (+\- 6 months, I can't remember)
 
Banned one month for posting "porn".

Reason why porn is in quotes? Because everyone who I talked to agreed with me that it wasn't considered porn.

Thus was the mod labeled the "amish mod".
