I'm just curious, every single Thread I go on no there is always some guy with anywhere between 50 posts to 1000+ posts but there is a giant BANNED text on their icon, why do so many people get banned lmao? Especially these guys with over 500+ posts like ouch that takes time
Bans are tempbans and are warnings to follow the rules. Permabans happen when people ignore tempbans too often.
I have been banned many times. It's really easy to be banned if you make a comment in LMAO pics thread.
Usually temporary bans for dumb posting. I've got like 3
I'll never trust anyone who hasn't been banned at least 6 times before
You kinda get a general feel for what gets you banned and what doesnt over time. As long as you keep that in mind and use common sense it's pretty easy not to not get owned
bans are actually decided by a series of coin flips
I was banned ONCE because Orkel does not appreciate (offtopic) puns :v:

If you're a dumbass you get banned. Just look at my ban history. Lurk hard and post harder [sp]and stick with the game generals and videos subsection[/sp].

[QUOTE=skylortrexle;51829207]I have been banned many times. It's really easy to be banned if you make a comment in LMAO pics thread.[/QUOTE] That seems like more of a personal issue and less of an accurate observation about how often people get banned for it. I post every now and then in LMAO pics without posting an image and I haven't been banned for it yet. [editline]a[/editline] That said woooooooooah this thread got me to take a look at my ban history and jfc what was I thinking when I was 9 through like 14
I was banned one time when I was like 17 and I first joined because I made a thread about how a dog kinda ran over my face and cut me up a bit and I'm pretty sure I titled "how I became scarface" and I was banned for "get a blog" or something I think that's all I've really been banned for tho besides joke bans
That Cat. "Stick it in her pooper" Antisemitism (Antichristianity is fine or any other religion) Blatant racism. Calling Garry fat on his profile.
[QUOTE=Pink_Elephant;51829199]Especially these guys with over 500+ posts like ouch that takes time[/QUOTE] Good one.
Don't be dumb and you won't get banned.
I don't get how people get banned here, you gotta be real dumb to get banned.

See sometimes I just get too patriotic and get banned for "shitposting" but really I'm just doing what I was born and raised to do.

I thought (g)mod meant gold membership for some reason. Man I just joined these forums because a friend of mine mentioned the site and I wanted to talk to people. I stuck around.
It is quite interesting that there are almost never any kind of written warnings and bans are the first warnings. Pretty sure it confuses a lot of people who are new since most people associate a "ban" with what is a permaban here. I remember some people getting quite aggressive because they didn't know that after they got a ban for minor stuff.
My favorite ban was for shit thread, when TH89 thought it was a good idea to delete the OP of a thread. So that moved my post into being first post, and made it seem I made a shit thread. Getting banned by garry himself a few times was fun too. I been banned over 80 times on several accounts, don't fret
[QUOTE=Sheer Visor;51829473][IMG]http://imgur.com/1hLSWwg.png[/IMG] I agree :^)[/QUOTE] That was actually a misunderstanding. The "Visitor Message Abuse" was me saying sorry after a disagreement, that's why it got reduced. I'd show you the RC thread but you can't view it :| [quote]<3 i hope you aren't mad[/quote]
It's kind of amusing to watch new people get banned for saying regrettable things because I've been in that boat myself. Some people should lurk more, I should have lurked more, but I guess you learn the hard way sometimes.
i think the only ban of mine that i have regretted is the one where i got banned for posting before reading
Is "To the bunker" still bannable?
My ban history predates time apparently, I think the latest was an entire month in 2010 on a separate (not perma'd, mind) account. I don't even remember what I did to get a whole month but the point was taken.
I regret none of my bans except that one where some dude said to type 'nigger' and hit preview and I got autobanned for that
