Support NeoGAF

[Lakitu]

Been on here about 10 years, even before this place became hip and people started calling it Neogaf. I've only been banned 4 times, I think.

 

[FStop7]

I'm pretty sure that if you remain a rational and sane person then you can last indefinitely. In my short time here I've only seen a couple of bans I would call bullshit and I think they were temp. Can't think of any perm bans I've personally seen that were unfair.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

I asked EviLore at one of the meet-ups which user had the most posts without being banned, and his guess was amir0x.

Public demotion is a lot harsher than a ban

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

As long as you aren't an idiot you won't get banned on this site.

 

[noah111]

This thread makes me wonder... if an active gaffer were to ever die (and surely it has happened already) we will most likely never know about it. :s

 

[Speevy]

I wonder who has the highest ban total. I've been banned 10 or more times at least.

He guessed wrong, Amir0x was banned before he was made a mod. Hyoushi, Kabouter, Kagari, EatChildren, Red Scarlet, White Man, and m0dus (at least--I may be forgetting a few) were also banned at least once before becoming mods.

fartblast at 21 bans; PhoenixDark holds the record without being permed; you've been banned 12 times (tied for 22nd). The forum is so much bigger and busier now that I doubt anyone would have that kind of long leash again, nuisances are swept out much faster now.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Ive been here for a year and havent been banned once.

 

[bggrthnjsus]

i remember when solidsnakex got to 10000 posts and got a tag that said 'i have no life' and now everybody's got like 10000 posts

 

[Atramental]

You can increase your GAF life expectancy a considerable amount if you don't post on the gaming side. haha...

If you look at my post history you can see that I pretty much post on the OT side exclusively.

 

[noah111]

If you count ruthless mass Dragona bannings, than i've been banned once in my four or so years.

 

[bggrthnjsus]

i used to actually post on the gaming side but i probably haven't posted there in a few years

 

[Femmeworth]

Been here since '06 and zero bans.

0 bans just means youre boring!

I am boring.

He guessed wrong, Amir0x was banned before he was made a mod. Hyoushi, Kabouter, Kagari, EatChildren, Red Scarlet, White Man, and m0dus (at least--I may be forgetting a few) were also banned at least once before becoming mods.

Wow, wouldn't have figured that some of them had been banned. The question is, has EviLore ever been banned?

 

[Az]

I think I only got one ban in the 4+ years on here. Hope it stays at that.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

been here since like '99 or 2000. Only been banned 3 or 4 times that I can remember. Being banned can be flukey, but it's easy to avoid being perma'd.

 

[TimeLike]

Banned once in five years by dragona for nothing. I posted a picture of Andrew dice clay in response to.a.sexist joke someone made and she roasted me.

 

[Riggs]

Join #GA mirc chat and suck up to the mods there. Immune forever.

What's the network?

 

[Menelaus]

I will outlive Dr. Eggman. This is my charge.

 

[AndyD]

Wasn't GAF called something else first?

 

[darkiguana]

I have been here since 2001. I mostly stay under the radar and thus have only had 1 ban.

 

[GillianSeed79]

Wasn't EatChildren banned and then resurrected as a mod or am I remembering that wrong? That was pretty cool and kind of funny.

I wanted this to be me! But I ruined it by getting banned while I was still a junior, not complaining though, happy it wasn't a perma ban.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

I'm not going to lie. Whenever I have to login, I fear seeing the dreaded message on the scree "Date ban lifted: Never". I hope to one day be a Mod here, although I don't think I have much of a chance to be honest

 

[kittens]

I've been a member since 2006, and been reading since 2005. Been banned once for recommending someone slash a rapist's tires.

Take heart. You have a better chance than I do.

You all do.

 

[Finaika]

I've been here since 1999.

 

[mugurumakensei]

One day blame space shall be a mod. Then, the world will truly be at peace.

I'd imagine the life expectancy of a gaffer is at minimum 25 considering that's my age.

Now that you've revealed your intent you've lost any chance you had.

How well did you do on the mod test? I only got 71%.

 

[shuri]

I've been here since 2000 or so. I must be on ban #6 or something

 

[UnluckyKate]

I don't know. It seems a lot of bans are weird but I wont complain. If mods ban, they have their reasons.

 

[Lindsay]

Been approved since mid-2004 so almost 7 years now with 1 ban. Browsed the place for some years beforehand but that dun count! Having to look at my profile before posting this made me think of an ideas! Profiles should have your member # somewhere besides the url, and in addition add a ban count # lol. C'mon GAF! You've taken away so many "features" that making these slight changes should be a fair enough thing ta do!

Now that you've revealed your intent you've lost any chance you had.

Thats how it seems ta go at every message board! That rule must be in the bullentin board license or something!

He guessed wrong, Amir0x was banned before he was made a mod. Hyoushi, Kabouter, Kagari, EatChildren, Red Scarlet, White Man, and m0dus (at least--I may be forgetting a few) were also banned at least once before becoming mods.

Knowing that makes me feel a little better. Discovering that even the most powerful figureheads of Neogaf came from (presumably) humble backgrounds.

The question is, has EviLore ever been banned?

The real question is, has bishoptl ever been banned?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

been lurking since 1998, registered in 99? or 2000 but didn't start heavily posting until the PS2 launched.

 

[goomba]

Since 98 (when gaming-age was a website with a forum).

Banned once or twice. Last time was for my stance on fathers reproductive rights (or lack there of)

 

[Cynosure]

walking on eggshells.

 

[jett]

Let's party like it's 1999

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Two bans in fourteen years here.

 

[unomas]

2003 was the year I believe. So 9 years, been banned a few times.

 

[Ceekus]

1999 here, too. I post far less and have all but stopped playin' the videogames, but still consider GAF a second home of sorts.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

I registered to gaming-age forums back in 2001. I remember and miss darkshire

 

[Xeke]

Coming up on 6 years. Not nearly the longest.

 

[Platy]

Avoid threads discussing transexuals, religions and cool looking wii exclusives and you will be fine !

Registered in november 2009 ... no bans yet

 

[Apeopleman]

Been here since early 2012, 0 bans.

Hoping to get that member status.

P.s. how do I get memeber status?

 

[Juice]

Been here since 2004. The only time I was banned was when I stumbled into a (poorly titled) WWE thread and got a short ban for cracking wise. Was probably in 2006? Heh.

 

[Alex Anderson]

1999 here, too. I post far less and have all but stopped playin' the videogames, but still consider GAF a second home of sorts.

Hey, I know you.

 

[FutureZombie]

I've been a member since 2006, and been reading since 2005. Been banned once for recommending someone slash a rapist's tires.

I don't understand why you would be banned for that.



People shouldn't be banned for their opinions/things they admit to having done in real life no matter how disgraceful they may be. Bans should be for three things:

1) Spoilers

2) Insulting other Gaffers/intentionally trying to offend or piss people off

3) Disrupting the flow of the message board (spamming, intentionally ruining threads, etc)


Other bans are essentially thought policing.

 

[seanoff]

since 1998/99 who knows, it was a long time ago.

the board was smaller, moved every other month (this maybe an exaggeration but not by much) and had some very interesting cats posting. The Dreamcast v PS2 debates had some classic meltdowns.
