[QUOTE=Metaru;51837430]And i took pride on going through an entire year without a ban.[/QUOTE] I still wonder how I went 4. Considering I used to get banned left and right.
[QUOTE=noh_mercy;51829581]When I visited fp for the first time, wayy b44 i even made an account, seeing people getting banned for things like asking about warez, posting memes, flaming made me think that all the mods were strict as fuck, fun-hating, miserable people. I wasn't used to seeing anything like this since NO forum I've ever been apart of dished out bans like FP. And whenever I saw a person get banned with over 10k posts, I felt sad because I thought they had been betrayed by their own forum (& i thought bans were permanent). its also odd looking back at the other forums I used to browse b4 fp and see how lax they were in comparison.[/QUOTE] Dude thats exactly it! i actually felt like Hollow inside seeing some guy with over 5,000 posts get banned i was like dude....:rollout: But now I know that a Ban is not the same as a Perm Ban, I mean dang I only just learned this Forum actually has the Creator of Garrys Mod lurking around it, I thought this was just some fan made forum :dog: But can you blame me, theirs posts from 2007 even from here, some of you have even been here since 2010, thats 7-10 Years! :incredible:. This is literally like a Hidden digital society, that even new generations are migrating to. Wish i would have know about this forum during my highschool times!:cat: [editline]18th February 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=LuanCode;51829733]I have not been banned but just follow the rules and you wont[/QUOTE] Thanks Luan, Your 16 posts since may 2016 is really re-assuring. :magic101: [editline]18th February 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Mr.Goodcat;51829846]I remember getting banned by TH89 back during the Jessie Slaughter thread when he went on a permanent banning spree. It also was the thread where he lost his mod status and eventually perma'd. Good times[/QUOTE] For someone from the year 2017, what was this Famous TH89 inscident, sounds liek an Air Crash investigation, forum style.:terrists: :fp: is there other famous tragic events in this forum?:happy:
[QUOTE=LuanCode;51829733]I have not been banned but just follow the rules and you wont[/QUOTE] its a lot easier to not get banned with 16 posts than it is to not get banned with 40000 posts across a dozen or so accounts
[QUOTE=LuanCode;51829733]I have not been banned but just follow the rules and you wont[/QUOTE] A shining star in the darkness. Praise be Luan. The legend who evaded bans 16 times.

In my history, I have made a few honest mistakes (warranting a thread lock), or had my past threads bumped for one reason or another, but I haven't been banned yet. I plan on keeping it that way, as I like browsing here and discussing things with people that I rarely get to talk about in real life. I did, however, come from another forum where I learned how to not be a shitposter from a ban or two.
All my bans were justified, for some reason I found the word 'nigger' really funny when I was younger. Although one of the bans I specifically remember being because I said 'snigger' as in a small chuckle but the insta-ban system got me
IIRC I was banned a lot of times for discussing piracy, and once when I openly said that I find bannable piracy stupid [sp]and I still do, who the fuck cares[/sp]
[QUOTE=Zelpa;51831081]if you make it 10 years without getting banned garry sends you a letter just like the queen does when you turn 100[/QUOTE] Can confirm
I'm just an idiot, that's all.
how is ban formed
[QUOTE=Pink_Elephant;51837837]Creator of Garrys Mod lurking around it,[/QUOTE] I mean he made the forum so he's really just a normal dude. Nothing special or extra amazing. Minus being rich as fuck.
[QUOTE=Pascall;51829399]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[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure I single-handedly spawned the "no dumb video streams" rule in GD due to my thread "watch me live 24/7 doing nothing". Those were the good days.
you just post in a box until redtext
I lurk too much to be banned. Banned once for PUI (posted high selfie) but thats about it. I feel I need to lurk more tho, my posts lately have been getting boxes.
can't believe i was banned for posting a "meme face reply". what the fuck i was thinking.
I spent my teenage years on facepunch, right now I mostly lurk. Facepunch is a great forum.
my greatest ban (so far) is [sp]calling max a faggot[/sp]
You'll see a lot more bans after Gary's birthday this year
I've had two bans and look how many posts I've made while being a professional lurker, that's how I've only been banned twice, once when I was like 14 asking people to make me a logo and the other time like not long later shamelessly advertising my GMod server :v: I feel I've finally learnt enough over my many years of lurking what you can and can't post.
probably only my joke bans are ones i'm proud of the rest are just me being an absolute spacker i made an edgy joke in an SH thread about a school shooting once, fun times [editline]20th February 2017[/editline] actually scratch that, i am really proud of my toxx ban

[QUOTE=Samson0722;51847222]Oh yeah this guy doesn't know about The Toxx Clause.[/QUOTE] some call the toxx clause an act of pure stupidity personally, i call it a test of physical and mental strength

[IMG]https://photos.google.com/search/_tra_/photo/AF1QipPyywn3wM5R-aX8_C4TZ4-RG7oCcmBgeVOUaD3p[/IMG] But I personally dislike this guy a lot. What you did took major balls, what Firetornado did was pretty stupid. RIP Smurfy

I think the funny thing with Firetornado was that he was hoping to get banned so he could work on something else. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] I like how I got banned for posting an NSFW TF2 spray way back
I created this new account because I lost the other and got ban on my first post xD I was looking for a source to a sound that I found on myinstants
if you havent been banned for shitposting at least once you shouldnt be on facepunch tbh especially if youre an aussie
I find all of these bans quite interesting. Sometimes they occur so randomly its actually pretty funny... [URL="http://wikipunch.com/Swebonny"]Example.[/URL]
Tips for never getting a ban: 1 - Join the hivemind 2 - Be a yes-man 3 - Say things that doesn't matter. Be the above-the-fence guy 4 - Must be pro-Israel (this is the key) 5 - Stay casual. 6 - Don't say controversial things, no matter if you are right or wrong. Remember; nod nod and nod
I think alcohol abuse may sometimes be a factor
