How many times have you been banned from GAF?

Not open for further replies.
Twice, both times my intent was clearly misread.

That said, I've probably said some stuff over the years that was ban worthy and never acted on, so it's all good.
 
I think SalsaShark can lay claim to the great honour of being the only GAFer to cop a ban for putting "fuck" in a thread title.

Is there a way to check? Must be around ten times :B

You can PM a mod and ask. Something Awful is actually interesting in this respect as the ban list is free for all to see, presumably so the offenders feel name-and-shamed.

Edit JaseC us always a good boy. One of the nicest, friendliest most helpful members on all of GAF.

True story, the guy is a gent.

<3 You're not so bad yourself. ;)
 
4 or 5, I think.

  • Wrote the word "tranny" once to describe something I don't even remember.
  • Wrote the word "cunt" to refer to a woman who falsely accused a football player of raping her.
  • Said Jade Raymond's beauty was irrelevant and she was "vulgar" or something to that effect.
  • Trolled the op in a MP 3 thread by saying he had a bad taste.

Can't remember any more. I'm sure there are others though. I have this paranoia that mods and admins have statistics of our bans right next to our member tags.
 
I've been thinking of changing it for a while but I couldn't find a better/more interesting picture.

Done.
 
I've never been banned, I'm such a good poster. Well I try to not make an ass of myself, I fail at times, but hey, seems trying goes a long way!
 
I think once or twice. Its been so long ago I do not remember the reasons. About 2 years ago my thread creating privilege got taken away. Have not been able to figure out how to get it back. I have emailed several mods but have not had any luck.
 
I wonder what single thread has the biggest number of casualties.

PSN Hack/GeoHot

That combination had to take the cake. Peaceful days

Anyways, I have 5 bans on record I think, but only one was non-requested. I said a thread was stupid. And I deserved.
 
Twice.

1. Made a joke about Wendy Williams

2. I wish this could be reviewed or something. Some guy made "NeoGAF is a Sony Forum" joke, but he used really bad grammar. To ridicule him, I used equally bad grammar and a conspiracy post. It was all a joke and some people in the thread got it. I guess a mod didn't and took me seriously. Ah well, I don't mind anymore.
 
Once. 3 month ban for PM requesting a link of some shit I don't remember. Believe I was banned by one of the ex-female mods.
 
I got banned once for threadshitting in yet another "HORRIBLE THING HAPPENED IN THE WORLD TODAY" thread a while back. I pretty much expected the ban but was tired of seeing the endless tide of no content "how horrible, best wishes to family" posts that those threads become.
 
months ban for making a parody thread.


during that month i didn't visit GAF and i missed the great gaf race war (white culture thread)
 
Twice. One for agreeing with SalsaShark and got banned due to him getting banned. Thread whining is frowned upon. Another time for not thinking thoroughly about what I said.
 
I got banned for a month for making a comment that was explicit about women. It was joking in a way. I have no regrets about the comment, I stand by whatever stupid shit that came out of my mouth. With that stated, the ban was acceptable.
 
6-7 times; Once I was even banned for a full year or was it 9 months. I was deleted once when some that pro-nintendo Australian hacker broke it into the database and deleted accounts of people who were seen as 'Anti-Nintendo'
 
Once for "Concern trolling" whatever in the holy fuck that is.

Basically for not feeling the required amount of empathy for people who kill themselves over sexuality.

Was very tempted to come back and just ask for my account to be nuked from orbit. Im still pissed over it to this day.
 
For me it's like russian roulette.

Everyday when I type in neogaf.com I close my eyes, hoping not to see that, You've been banned sign.

:(
