I was recently banned for talking about piracy again. :lol (even though I read the TOS after I was banned and found no evidence to support my ban).

Fuck it, no more piracy talk from me.

Mods have banned for personal reasons unrelated to the TOS before. Not saying it happened to you since you were clearly talking about piracy and that's a huge NO-NO.
 
Plenty of times

Dunno why

But then again

Well, discussing leaked albums (which falls under the rule of giving impression of pirated material) goes on A LOT around here, and nothing ever happens to the thread starters or the people involved.

I was involved in one about 50 Cent's album and it was locked and people were banned.

Inconsistency rules this place.
 
Once. And this thread popped up at the exact time of my cherry-popping, making me feel a little better about it.

The ban was for being trollish in a sports thread -- someplace I have no business being, since I hate sports. Lesson learned.
 
Once because I made a stupid throw away comment in a "Post your member number"

I think my post stirred more "intelligent discussion" than "583"
 
I was banned once as BrandonJ33 on the old EZBoards. I said something like "What you talkin about, nigga?" No harm, or hatred intended (and I don't think the person I was addressing was black), but Mr. Lewinson didn't care for it much. He quoted me, said "What are you? Stupid?" and I got the boot. Bish rocks, though, I wasn't mad at him.
 
This is one of those bad days to be a mod, because of how tempting it is to ban jinx for bumping antique threads. :D
 
Once for 4 - 5 days. I'm pretty sure it was for posting in the latest Wednesdayton thread... I don't recall leading people on and pretending to know something, so maybe I just got caught up in the crossfire.
 
I feel left out, but maybe it is for the best. No doubt my time will come though. meh who am i kidding, i'm as diplomatic as they come....unless i can somehow insult the whole of GAF in one swift post. We shall see...
 
Once. I posted the CD cover of Justin Timberlake's "Cry me a river" in the "white people find stuff, black people loot stuff" thread around the Katrina period. I can't remember what the thread was called.

I found it a pretty innocent post.

Thanks a million to the kind mod who unbanned me.
 
1 time. almost a second time but I substantiated myself in a wrestling thread to prove I wasn't trolling and that got bish to leave me alone.

for the record, i don't think anyones ban was more awesome than that one guy who requested a permaban, then sp0rsk just changed his tag to 'banned' but if you clicked on it, it said "not really" in a pop up box. Then they had the kid totally turned around to not wanting to be banned, and said they were gonna offer him a mod spot. The kid agreed and then either mike or drinky came down with the permaban. :lol

fuckin' classic. I don't think any ban could top it.
 
It's funny... Everytime I try and post in this thread, I erase what I wrote in fear that bish will ban me (for no reason).


Actually, that's not funny at all.
 
twice. once because blackace was trying out his new mod powers and banned a few people on purpose. and another time because i told someone they were an asshole or something in a bush praising or bashing thread.
 
1. saying something like "you stupid nbot" in the board that had red text. I am still banned there btw as they forgot to unban me.
2. saying something like I dont give a shit about the prisoners in guantanamo
3. saying "errr fuck off"
 
Once, and wrongfully if I might add... I think it was in a "Boxers or briefs, what do you prefer?" thread, people discussing the topic and some posting images of male models in underwear, and I was in my "attention whoring" phase back then so I posted a couple of pics of me posing in white briefs, nothing more raunchy than any of the other images posted in the same thread though), then someone (dmczaf I think) found a photo of my bare butt on my webspace and posted it in the same thread (the popular free image hosting service back then had no security, you could access anyone's image folder by simply entering the URL), minutes after that I was banned by Maverick, thankfully GA migrated to a new forum a few days later I think and I was able to register normally... Maverick was de-moded some time later due to unrelated events.

IMO I shouldn't have been banned since I was not the one who posted my nude pic, someone else did without my permission (he got banned too).

Another funny/awkward story related to that event: There was also a picture of my erect penis that was stolen from my webspace by the same person, and he spammed it on #ga on IRC for a few hours, even renamed the file to mina_nude.jpg or something to trick people into clicking on it... :lol

Don't know how accurate this is, but much later I received info that BlackjackHF paid Maverick to have me banned.

Edit: Wait, I think I was banned again for 24 hours after posting impressions of an unreleased game (Prince of Persia on PC) along with dark10x.

So twice, not bad for 8 years.

this doesn't even come close to comparing to what BuddyC went through, "taking one for the team."
 
Twice. I don't remember the first one (I probably asked for it, dunno), but the second one was during the "anti-Sony witchhunt" a while back. Problem is, seeing as we're open to discuss things without living in fear, I responded in a thread about the all the poor N64 games (leaving my opinion of course). I also posted a comment saying we should start a topic discussing all of the poor PSone games, since the system tended to have a high frequency of shovelware (Because of it's huge library [I don't think anyone would've argued]). But bam! Didn't take long. I never received a reason for any of them (which was always very irritating- seeing as I've been haunting these grounds for years). I was just caught in the middle of a sensative time.
