Never. Working hard at it though

 

[middlehead]

I don't remember if it was here or not, I used the same sarcastic comment on two boards but only got banned on one.

 

[Cogman]

lol, looking at the current poll results, Half of ATOT has been banned before. I wonder if that says anything about us.

I was banned for a week. It turns out that I was banned for nothing, just a mod playing mind games with me.

Your notes show 2 weeks off (10/16/06) + a warning.
The ban was NOT for nothing.

Warned once, baned nonce

I have been banned 3-4 times I guess. Only for a week at time though. And one time I couldn't login for like 2 days for some unknown reason.

I was sm8000, the guy who bought you the backpack.

 

[her209]

I was banned for 3 months...

 

[TallBill]

lol, I'd love to see my notes.

Banned for nested quoting (big thread)
Banned for name calling (like 2 months ago)
Banned for racial slurs (accidently used one, didn't know it was racial)

Warned for signature at least twice (once for having a petition to ban Jerboy in my sig, once for my official asshat list. RyanSenegra bitched when I added him)
Warned for a few other things

In the days following 9/11 there were lots of discussions about what was going on, and the mods decided there would be one thread for all 9/11 related talk. Plenty of threads kept popping up, however, and in them I made a comment about 'nazi' mods locking all the threads. I was banned, and in the post the moderator said it would be a week. But nope, it was forever. Mod on a power trip.

Never

[drum]

once for navigating the filter

 

[Doctor Nyse]

I called someone an asshole. Banned for a month.

 

[antyler]

never banned. it doesnt seem terrible hard to keep from getting banned.

 

[Doctor Nyse]

Also banned for pointing out a spelling error on the top board announcement. Banned for about 2 weeks I think.

 

[lyssword]

2 weeks, for responding to super-nested quotes post

 

[LikeLinus]

I had a 1 week vacation for calling out Rollo as a corporate shill. I feel so wrong about my actions

 

[amdhunter]

3 times.

Once for messing with another member. I think it was for 2 weeks.
Once for being a pedo or something...I think that was for 2 weeks.
Once for being a general dick in a thread about some lady that couldnt afford food, for a month.

I still lurked offtopic daily though.

Sad how you can say worse things and get away with it these days...

1) Parody thread about skittles.
2) Mods don't like the fact that I abuse Costco's return policy
3) Nested quoting. I was only #4. It wasn't that bad when I did it. The thread went insane after me.
4) Talking about a NEWS REPORT on KTVU Channel 2 and regurgitating the exact info in it about how people run toll cameras with photoblocking sprays and then referring to Mythbusters and Top Gear about the validity of such claims... Apparently the mods felt I gave away info on how to cheat the toll system. One of the most ridiculous bans IMHO because it was all in a news report and we can discuss radar detectors which clearly serve no good but to allow you to cheat the speed limits just like photo blocking sprays allow you to cheat the cameras... *sigh*

 

[dug777]

Nope.
