Dennil has the record with 5 years.

One 1 month ban.

 

[mugs]

Twice.
Once for having Ban me in my sig (making fun of all the people who had Unban ___ in their sigs). Once for quote neffing. I quoted a post in agreement, and I didn't have anything to add. My quote was about the fifth level of quoting, and after a ton of other people quoted the same post they banned anyone after the first level of quoting.

A similar thread existed a few months ago on this subject which brought great enjoyment and embarrasement to the membership.

There is no need for another.

/edit
This thread has been unlocked after review of the dates of similar type thread.

Well, poop. Now I'm going to have to get banned all over again. I guess I'll see you 6 years from now...

I was banned for Steak and BJ day link post.
Apparently you can't post a link that in-turn has porn linked 2 levels off of it.

I was never banned. I almost was banned once.

What happened was a Fusetalk change that altered the fonts. In the change, they made the font size so miniscule that it was unreadable. I had a 22" monitor and even then whole sentences were less than 1" long. Even with a magnifying glass, and even with setting the brower font sizes as large as possible, it was hard to make out the letters that were only a couple pixels high and a couple wide (ie the letters were not fully displayed).

So, I created a poll and posted a link to that poll in every forum. Hundreds of people voted, and it was overwhelmingly in favor of readable fonts. Some of my threads were locked but most were deleted. Shortly later, I was told to stop making all of those threads. Luckilly, I wasn't banned, and someone heard my plea giving us adjustable font sizes.

Yes, quite recently...for posting CasioTech's website since he had removed it from his sig. Only 3 days, so I got off light (according to the Mods).

What is so bad about his website?

I thought you were one of the top contenders in the bannage contest last year?

 

[NatePo717]

Yes, because I posted in that one nested quoting thread. Got 2 weeks for that one.

Same here... was like the 3rd quote from the top & when I came back later the same day I had no idea why I couldn't login.



Edit: Actually I only got one week.

By that logic, nobody can post links to Google.


-----------------------------------------
Google does not have direct links to porn when you go to their site.

I think that was my argument too.
Needless to say it was 2 weeks.

 

[JujuFish]

Five...no, six times. Mwahahaha.

 

[effowe]

Nope, but was pretty close. I posted a thread of a sexual nature and put up a gif of the Texas Bellringer. I edited out the OP after a couple of minutes and a mod posted that I made the right choice by deleting said content.

Hopefully that will change!

2 or 3 times. I was much more of an asshole even a year ago than I am now. Most recent was for hiding a coupon code in a post using bolded letters. Didn't realize that they actually frowned upon that; thought they looked the other way when we did that.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem with the hiding of coupon codes was that I had double vision and was able to spot it.

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.

I woke up one morning to see 2 PM in my mail box. One announcing me I had been banned for 24 hrs and the other telling me the Mod had changed his mind and deleted it from my record.

Feeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that was close.

Then I made a thread with a link to a video showing some idiot kid setting himself on fire. That thread lasted approximately 30 sec before it got deleted....
