• It's wayyyy to easy to get banned on these forums

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that the OP hasn't responded in almost an hour? Especially seeing as s/he never answered what the thread in question was. I mean seriously, did s/he give up because people weren't flocking to support them/didn't share the "this forumz is so unfair!!" ideology? EDIT: Ah ha. Seeing the perma reason, it was in fact yet another person who thought what they were doing by "reporting" a "hacker".
oops rust forum sprung a leak (also he was only banned for 3 days for missing the hackers discussion thread)
[QUOTE=postal;44363768]oops rust forum sprung a leak[/QUOTE] Pls fix it bby
banned once for some reason I can't remember. left for a bit, came back. haven't had a problem since. it's an initiation, of sorts.
Are the mods here a little too quick to ban? Possibly. There have been several bans here I didn't exactly agree with. Do mods let some shit slide that probably should warrant a ban? Oh, fuck yes. Seen a few examples of that, too. But they're human, and we're not always going to agree on everything. I can honestly say I've never been banned without going back, looking at my post, and saying to myself "Yeah. . .probably should have thought that one through a little better. " It's far from a perfect system. But it's a system. And look around you. For the most part, it works. This community has it's shit together, moreso than most forums you'll find.
You could not break rules. And the mods aren't heartless assholes, if you post in RC they'll likely shorten it, or unban.
let me guess op it was actually you?

And come back when the ban's over. Bans are generally short, unless you're a particularly douchey fuckup. They're not that big a deal, and usually give you a day or two to reflect on the actions that got you banned in the first place, and how to avoid it in the future. It's never seemed like a big enough deal to me in the past to appeal my bans; I totally deserved each one.
Yeah, I eventually stopped flaming people... Although no one has insulted Pink Floyd lately either.
Haha I just got banned a couple days ago for a day! In my absence I ventured out into the world and bought a record player and some vinyls for dirt cheap. Seize the moment!
[QUOTE=postal;44363768]oops rust forum sprung a leak (also he was only banned for 3 days for missing the hackers discussion thread)[/QUOTE] I do adore when people go over the top with their ban durations. Didn't Russian-type-style-bullshit guy get banned for three days, then said it was a week, then his friends complain about a perma?

[I]That[/I] was Ohmwrecker. Banned for 3 days Bitched on Reddit that it was 5 Said in his video that he was banned for 7 Fuckwads from Reddit came here to shitpost and claimed he'd been banned for 10 days. My favourite was the idiot white knight who complained Ohmwrecker had been banned for 10 days... while linking directly to Ohm's original video where he [I]clearly states[/I] seven days in that same post.
There are only two bans that are very easy to get. "Undescriptive title/Didn't Search" - Really depends on what one calls 'descriptive', and back in the day, blue members couldn't search. Well they could, if they did something that wasn't really told. Wonder if anyone remembers that **** *** Ain't gonna say it incase rule is still in effect.

[sp]Just kidding, you can't hate Pink Floyd[/sp] On the actual topic at hand, bans really aren't that bad, I feel all mine were justified, though length on a couple felt a bit too long for a warning :v:
