I JUST missed that thread before it was locked. Shame, although if I were to be rewarded a tag, I'd like for it to be because of my quick wit and charming personality.ZephyrFate said:

likely she would not have given you such a tag. some dude got a tag that called him mediocre, like a rather middling Yorkshire puddingConradCervantes said:

All this GAF navel-gazing (glorious stuff) makes me pine for a thread about the "golden years" of Usenet VG groups. Would be catnip for oldies like myself.

The scariest part about getting banned is you aren't expecting the format change. Having the forum layout change on you like that fucks with your head.
Zeliard said:Haha the only time I got banned was for 3 days for trolling Naughty Dog about some stupid Twitter stunt they were pulling, I think. Don't remember it exactly, but I guess that mod was a ND fan.
I've been banned for:
- making fun of wrestling (lolz)
- spoiling Bioshock
- spoiling Oldboy
A month or two each time, I believe. Strangly enough, no bans for trolling :lol

Of course but the mods and admins aren't mindless robots that just go, "Herp! Derp! Ok!" *ban*
If people reported dumb shit, they'd get called on it too, I'm sure.

hilariously, i was the one who named "eb" when federwang was tossin' out names. i was being facetious since i didn't think it would survive more than a month or two given willco's "sponsorship," and the name would serve as a sort of obnoxious and petty troll (the best sort) during that brief period of snarky venality. thanks to maf and demi, it hung on for a long-ass time, although it definitely needs a less glib and archaic name. white man was actually against the name and wanted it called "tooter town", whereas i was all "oh come on, what's a little juvenile and disposable cross-forum trollery" and here i am, vaguely embarrassed every time i see the original url.
of course, i still hang out there, because i'm pretty comfortable with that set of personalities and it has a good lightweight level of legitimately funny troll drama/activity sandwiched in between its frustrated geekness and its internet sanctimony.

It was worse for me when I got banned the first time earlier this year. I was using mobileGAF and I couldn't access any page on GAF due to the ban.Green Scar said:
I thought my cellphone was crapping out. It wasn't until later that day I found out that I was banned, haha.
I used to be the same way. I even bragged about not being banned.ZZMitch said:I have been here two years with nary a warning to my name! Maybe I am just too easy going
All it takes is a not-paying-attention post on Gaming side...

It's a free internets. Obviously it's inappropriate to advertise the splinter forums on GAF, conflict of interest, and of course when people from those sites do or attempt to do nasty stuff to GAF or GAFers that's not cool, but otherwise, *shrug*. Everyone needs a place to be, and some folks get banned here or don't like it here.
Those Rock Band guys who weren't trying to spam GAF but felt threatened by the Rock Band OT changing and lashed out and got permed too, I mean, megathread policy changed and that was that, if you don't want to follow the rules here then by all means go elsewhere, I even suggested as much. Could I have been more diplomatic? Yeah, but it was pure antagonism from the start when I posted in the Rock Band OT. Should I have addressed the megathread situation sooner so that things wouldn't have been nearly so messy when policy did change? Absolutely I should have, but I addressed it when I did and dealt with the mess as best I could.
Nowadays when a popular insular subcommunity forms and people get really attached to it, I try to give them a place in the community forum (see: Ausgaf, Ponygaf). That's about the best I can do to keep the main forums running smoothly and not be too disruptive to those social structures.

Yeah the two long bans I got were gaming ones (and pretty much of those type you mention). The only OT one I got was pretty short (a week or so).

I got so tired of it that I stopped browsing GAF altogether for a period of time.
Edit: I'm sure Blackace gave me this tag in the Black Culture thread for acting a fool.

I agree with your statement, but it seems like some like Wrath who feel that they only invited people who were looking to join and that it wasn't perma or even ban worthy, and given the situation I'm not sure if they are telling the truth and there was more to it.

WARNING: OLDBOY SPOILERS
Solo said:My name is Oh Dae Su.
My daughter was lost to me many years ago in Seoul. We lived together with her mother in a large, well-built house on a normal street. It had a workshop, several bedrooms and a nice dining room. I had a drinking problem, which often got me in trouble with the law. One night after being released by the police, I was abducted and held captive for 15 years.
This gave me time to work on my fighting skills. I can drive this hammer into the skulls of vast amounts of thugs. I often do this after eating live octopus. After those 15 years, I was suddenly set free. While dining on said seafood, I met a beautiful young woman named Mido who showed a kindness to me. We eventually became lovers.
I am not sure who she is, or what our relationship entails, but I love her.
I eventually met up with an old acquantince named Woo Jin. He explained to me how I ruined his life, and how it was him who captured and imprisoned me for 15 years - to get his revenge, which he was successful in doing. How so?
Because my Mido is my lost daughter.

The fuck?
I pointed out earlier that committing "forum suicide" is a form of attention whoring, which makes the way that Himuro went out and all the people cheering for him showing that rascally attention whore what's what pretty fucking funny. And I dunno if you spend a lot of time here but the number of threads that get totally taken over by people piling on Devolution makes reading any OT thread about gender increasingly tiresome.
In neither case am I saying that the target of the attacks is blameless, I'm saying that the people attacking them would be much happier and well adjusted little humans if they just chilled the fuck out and stopped provoking the person. The reality is that they won't, because they crave the attention just as much as the person they're attacking.
And for the record, I'm an equal opportunity white-knight so if you're ever in trouble just send up the jim-jam signal and I'll be there to take a stand for your besmirched honour.

Yeah. I thought I would never post in Gaming side after I got banned, but I guess it's all about:Manos: The Hans of Fate said:
- Posting in a thread where you know a lot of people there.
or
- Contributing to the topic in some way that is not inflammatory. If you disagree with something, clearly state your problems without having to curse/berate people.

I got my tag for pointing out that if someone posts a news story about an average-poor looking woman who has done the most fucked up things believable...but is white...than there's always a couple of GAFFers that are like "would still do it...".
Someone posted a story about a fucked up black prostitute who was below average but not fat and nasty and I was like (paraphrasing, which makes my argument look worse) "wow, no one has posted a "would" here...suppose it's because she's black" and Bish slapped me with a tag.
I probably deserved it, but I'm not usually one for pointing out double standards...just chose a bad moment to do it.
I still like my old tag: "too mature for this board". Something sardonic about it as I get older...

Interesting stuff. Always wondered why Costanza was banned and what happened to Dragona. Didn't know Lyre either. I vaguely remember Jim posts way back.
I talked to Red Scarlet right after she got de-modded. It was unfortunate to see her go.

Didn't know what. Well time to resub to some old threads then.Borgnine said:
