Poll: Have you been banned before?

[BoomerD]

Never from ATOT, but there's a reef site out there that not only banned me, but the fuckers deleted my entire account as well...

Was banned once because a mod misinterpreted my FS thread regarding some software. I emailed and was unbanned in less than 24 hrs. Happened 4 years ago.

 

[NanoStuff]

Once for bringing up the realization to a moderator that they are incapable of adequately satisfying their life partner.

The second time for proposing that natural selection has disqualified an individual from copulation.

The third time for soliciting sex from what might have been a moderator.

I think I'm scheduled to wear a dunce cap sometime soon once again judging by the interval.

 

[FallenHero]

i believe ive gotten a month off before. I've been given multiple vacations for sure.

 

[dennilfloss]

Just once, for 5 1/2 years.

 

[glenn beck]

I got banned one time for posting a video that wasn't even NWS. funny thing is someone posted the exact same video
the next day and didn't get banned. It was the video of the 4 or 5 black kids thinking they were all GQ dancing to some
RnB song.

Supposedly all these bans are to be left "in the past", and we aren't supposed to bring up past incidents. There is supposedly supposed to be a clean slate here with the new Moderator accountability.... supposedly.

I will PM you about it.

 

[meltdown75]

IIRC I have 2 2-week vacations and a 1-weeker... I might have a longer vacation in there, not sure.

Can the mod(s) please post my "file" for all to see?

incidents:

- quoting bannable linkage
- parody threads
- ... not sure. something else really dumb (on my part)

I got my posting powers back 1 day early. Someone missed me :heart:

 

[keeleysam]

I've been banned once, I don't remember what it was for, but I think it was supposed to be for two weeks. I had a ton of trades going through in FS/T, so I asked the mod to let me see my PMs, and I was allowed fully back. Total ban time was about four hours, and it was hell.

Interesting premise, but certainly not my understanding.

 

[NesuD]

Yep I was banned once. I commited the unforgiveable sin of calling out a mod that stepped out of line.

Sucked it up and issued a totally insincere apology to said anonymous mod and was reinstated after a week.

 

[paulxcook]

Once, some dope posted about how he had 4000 posts now, so I decided to also be a moron and get in before the lock. Originally for 1 week, but it actually lasted for 2, it took a week for someone to respond to my emails complaining that my ban should be over.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I got a week for posting a 5 letter acronym that starts with D and ends with B. There were many others who posted it, but I got the ban.

 

[Vic]

Nope, but I've certainly had more than my fair share of close calls and warnings.

I'd love to see these "notes."

[Acanthus]

I have never been banned at AT, i did get a mod warning once years ago.

However, i was banned 43 times in 2 days from another large tech forum.

Proxies are fun.

 

[eits]

i just got out of my 1 week + a month ban

edit: i've been banned 6 times... apparently, according to the mods, that's an ungodly amount of times to be banned

And after reviewing your notes, it seems if you lack a certain amount of common sense.

Repeat infractions and what some would call stupid actions.
