• Bans everywhere, how to avoid being banned?
    90 replies, posted
Just a heads up, below is probably gonna sound dumb, so go ahead and rate dumb. I would too. I feel like I might do something wrong without knowing what it was and getting banned, I see all these people getting banned for weird reasons I can't understand, at least 1-2 users a day. What are the most common bannable offenses? Just so I can think real hard before I post. Facepunch seems very strict about certain etiquettes, which I don't mind but meh.. I would just like to avoid the banned ones' fate.
Just don't be a dick and don't write shit. Basically don't even start making threads until you've been around here for 6 to 12 months. Please.
Don't do stupid shit and you won't get banned.
Common Sense
Mods can be a little banhappy at times, but so long as you use this thing called common sense, you should be fine.
[QUOTE=Tiowa;23066120]Common Sense[/QUOTE]
Well here's an idea, look at what they're being banned for and do the exact opposite of what they did. Think of the Ban Log as a rules list.
Just follow common sense. If you have no common sense, don't post.
Look what people get banned for in the [url=http://www.facepunch.com/fp_events.php]Event Log[/url], avoid doing what they just did.
[QUOTE=Tiowa;23066120]Common Sense[/QUOTE] Common sense is uncommon.
shit posting, replying to something stupid, (why reply?) there are alot.
Read the rules stickies at the top of each forum. Just as an example, a thread like this would be better suited in Fast Threads. Don't troll, don't flame, and don't try too hard to be funny, because it probably means you're breaking a rule.
[QUOTE=Undomian;23066113]Don't do stupid shit and you won't get banned.[/QUOTE] Easier said than done.
One little tip: NEVER send Mr. Gestapo a racist PM.
Yes, I read about common sense. Which I assume includes not flaming, trolling or being a dick in general. And sorry for this useless thread, I was just curious and I couldn't think of any other way to get answers.

don't ever say anything that could be taken remotely racist around TH89
Eh, I tend to shitpost all the time, and I haven't been banned in well over a year.
Not to should like an asshole, but I kinda liked the harshness the moderators used to have a few years ago. And the random bans. It was like a little game, you had to be cautions more of the time when posting.
If the person has 1 post, don't reply. Probably spam. If the person says ban me, don't reply. It's a ban me.
1-2 users a day.. That's not much

what the hell does 'raiding' mean?
Easiest way would be as polite as possible, that nulls quite few reasons to be banned, and of course use Common Sense as said above.
[QUOTE=orbitrek;23066267]1-2 users a day.. That's not much[/QUOTE] Undeniably more than a common forum. At least from my experience.
[QUOTE=TamTamJam;23066309]what the hell does 'raiding' mean?[/QUOTE] I think it was because of that Facepunch Blocked thread.
[QUOTE=TamTamJam;23066309]what the hell does 'raiding' mean?[/QUOTE] They have raided another forum
Sometimes you can avoid being banned by being really nice and not being a dick. Like a dick shit post is much more likely to get banned than a polite one of similar shittyness.
I got my answers, should we let the thread die maybe?
[QUOTE=Sorter;23066451]I got my answers, should we let the thread die maybe?[/QUOTE] PM Benji and he'll probably close the thread for you since he's a nice guy.
