Banned
I got banned for saying something in gaming, but in hindsight I probably deserved it. Only one ban to my name so far.

Yeah, I've got two bans. One for trolling MGS4 when I was like brand new here. Nobody was paying attention to me so I made some big post about how I can't wait until its released and everyone finds out the disc is padded. I remember it used to bug me so much when people would piss themselves over how many gigs a ps3 game was.spindashing said:I got banned for saying something in gaming, but in hindsight I probably deserved it.

CrankyJay said:8000+ posts for me, 1 one-week ban, and have been re-juniored. Though I feel I have pushed the envelope a few times on this forum, I try to behave for the most part. There are just certain members that it's just too much fun not to argue with them.

TheSeks said:Due to the discourse being "LOL NO DKC DOESN'T SUCK. YOU SUCK!" Yes. But that one I feel was slightly justified, compared to the Epic Mickey thread where most people wouldn't have seen the ultimatium and Lyre (who was a shit mod, BTW. Glad he's gone.) not updating the OP/thread title with his threat and giving people a 10 minute cooldown period to avoid mass banning.
You said same tag not 'almost identical'.Meus Renaissance said:It's still close enough to qualify calling it 'almost identical' imo
Fun fact: I got this tag way before I began posting about UFOs and such. I noticed it after my first ban, and assumed it to mean I was being watched by the mods or something. My first ban was caused by making two or three rage comments about the PSPGo's price when it was first announced. But since people associate with me UFO conspiracies, they assume it was given to me in response to those UFO threads. It was not. The motive behind it is more mysterious. I would like to know why I was given it, though.
I'm taking a guess the one is okay since you didn't get banned in it. While the other one you did.TheSeks said:Due to the discourse being "LOL NO DKC DOESN'T SUCK. YOU SUCK!" Yes.

Your Excellency said:Gaming side is crazy. People keep getting angry about sales figures of portable consoles that I barely knew existed. I want to go in and calm them down but I am fearful that I may be banned alongside all the others and go down as an innocent passerby.
besada said:And sometimes you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time, saying the wrong thing at the wrong end of a mod. They're people, too, and they have bad days just like we do.
I think I've had three (maybe four) in the four years I've been posting. And I got juniored at one point.
I actually miss this aspect of Dragona's stewardship of GAF. Yeah, it's just a joke, but when it's a joke that singles out a vulnerable extreme minority, sometimes you have to play hardball on judging it.G-Fex said:I don't remember, I think I've only been banned once, it was for a stupid sexist joke. Thanks a lot Dragona.

the gaming side is kind of boring. "should i buy ___" "Nitnedo is doomed" "steam 4 life" "screw Activision" etcjay said:You're wrong.
G-Fex said:I'm pretty glad since I went with classic gaming, I avoid a ton of shit of the "news" and "rumors" and just about all that needless drama.

commish said:Yeah, that's exactly it - avoid the rumors and news threads, at least after the initial post to get the news.
UrbanRats said:Why is port begging bannable? I mean i understand if it gets out of hand in a specific thread, like a lot of people going "bohooo, why won't this come out on X platform?!", that can be annoying; though sometimes it's just an innocent opinion, like wanting Red Dead Redemption on PC, or wanting X console game on handheld (or viceversa) for specific reasons (be it mod community or portability, or the possibility to play it on a 50").
"that guy from firefly"?G-Fex said:I wish Begging That guy from Firefly to be the Uncharted guy was bannable

Evilore has actually been pretty decent about coming clean when he's had to break off mods or the moderation hasn't been up to snuff.Trent Strong said:If you're the police, who will police the police?

Nathan Fillion? Yeah, it always amuses me when there's talk of an Uncharted movie and then tons of posts like "Nathan Fillion or bust". I never watched Firefly so I guess it's one of those "had to be there" type situations to get his appeal.G-Fex said:I don't know his name. I'm no fan of him.
The Lamonster said:I was banned by Stump one time for saying "/thread"
He totally misinterpreted what I was saying but it was just a 24-hour ban so no worries.
btw I want to be a mod. What does it take?
commish said:I'll never understand the appeal of posting "/thread". What does that add to anything? I also hate when people quote someone else's post and just put a period, or "This."

commish said:Might have been the case, though I don't use any referral links or services or whatever. If so, was accidental and a simple edit would have done the job.

Neuromancer said:Question:
If you get juniored, and then banned, will that be a perma ban? I know it's that way with 'regular' juniors.
Laughing Banana said:So who is the current record holder for the most amount of bans without getting perma'd?
Stumpokapow said:we are able to tell the difference between perma-juniors and junior-juniors.

A Human Becoming said:I can understand why they might be viewed as not adding anything substantial, but sometimes when I go into a thread I'll find someone has already replied with exactly what I was going to post, sometime worded more articulately. By quoting and saying "this" I signal I feel/think the same way. As for "/thread", I only like to see it when the OP asked a question with an obvious answer.

Yeah, I remember I brought up wanting Dragon Quest X on a handheld because of how great I thought DQ4-6&9 were as portable games.Stumpokapow said:typically we don't ban for the idea of someone feeling a game would be better on another platform. obviously some would. it depends how out of hand things get, what kind of history the game has, what the given thread is like. i'm sure people can find examples of port begging bans in the past that were a little touchier than the standard i just described, but i'm just giving my insight on how i and most of the mods i talk to would judge okay versus not okay.
