ah yes, that was my other offense. however, I substituted my H for a T, meaning 'them' - so I think I should have got off on the technicality on that one

 

[crosshairs]

No bans for me here ......but at the Hard forum ..been banned from there a few times..

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

You're on permaban grounds now.

 

[akubi]

got a few warnings but only banned once. :beer:

 

[Agentbolt]

Got a week long vacation for making an absolutely stupid thread about having sex with a donkey or something. I completely deserved it, not so much because it was gross or inappropriate (people get away with far worse almost daily) but because it was just retarded and not very funny. It went about 2 days long due to some software glitch and I PMed a mod about it who was very nice and polite and got me back in action.

I'd have to assume I'm pretty much constantly on the edge of one as well with my less than friendly tone I take during arguments. I like to think I've ratcheted it down slightly at least.

 

[2Xtreme21]

Never been banned. Surprises me how many people have though..

 

[Cogman]

lol, some of these are pretty funny Keep em comming.

 

[jadinolf]

I'm takin' the fifth.

-----------------------------------------------
It was actually the 4th month, 6th day.

Nowhere does the number 5 coming up in your notes.

However, do not QUOTE me on it.

[Stvfarmboy]

Nope.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Not perma-banned (yet), but I've had a few vacations. Not really sure how many. Usually for losing my temper, sometimes for breaking various rules, once because I asked for it.

[Rogodin2]

What comprises a "Perma-Ban" and how do the people that have been, get out of it?
Are they lucky, or does it depend on the mod?

 

[EagleKeeper]

Perma-Bans seem to be that you have screwed up so badly that the Moderators do not want you around.

Every once in a while, Hell freezes over and a perp is able to walk back across the ice.

ie> DenniFloss, Dug777, etc

And then with the new changes; people were re-evaluated based on the past transgressions to see if under the new guidelines, they would have been allowed to stay.

Those that met those guidelines and were able to admit that they had been in the wrong, were apparently allowed a second chance to show that they could be redeemed.

 

[JackBurton]

Never banned, surprisingly since I do get into some heated arguments. I think I've come VERY close SEVERAL times. I guess the mods don't notice me, or they like me.

 

[bucwylde23]

Yep just once for 2 weeks.

 

[Toastedlightly]

5 or 6 times, for a month each time I think.

 

[Jeff7]

Vacationed, for hinting at, not linking to, a popular location where certain pics of Britney Spears could be found. Apparently that was not allowed. 2 weeks.
Others have linked to this site without repercussions though. Yeah well.

 

[ballmode]

hmmmm

RnB song.

The one where they were humping the furniture?

yup

 

[acegazda]

my first post on the forums, I was threatened with a ban

 

[Lash444]

Yep. 1 time a year or 2 ago.

For a comment that wouldn't have received any notice if it had been directed to any other member.

I won't name names, but you can guess who she is.
