I think I'm generally an inoffensive poster but I remember posting in a horrible thread in the gaming forum early on. It didn't result in a ban but I feel like it has secretly dogged me ever since.
What single offense could get you permabanned, even if you haven't had any previous bans?
I hope I'm not on the naughty list.
I wonder if there are other categories too.
This just made me realize that NeoGAF is actually quite a bit like high school.I wonder if there are other categories too.
Conversely, does troublemaker require a lot of bans?

Am I too late for a report card? I'm too late for a report card.
I find a great, great way to avoid getting banned on GAF is to start using USER CP. If you browse NeoGAF like that, if you post in a thread it gets added to your subscriptions. As I don't like adding new subscriptions, either because I'll feel like I have to delete them later because the thread dies, or I don't like to deal with the clutter of dealing with too many subscriptions at once, I rarely post outside the niche communities like HaloGAF or PoliGAF. Outside those two communities I mainly lurk. Unless I make a thread or I'm very, very interested in the subject (like Half-Life 3 rumor threads). I think my last created thread was Portal 2.
I dunno. This may only apply to me.
I'm gonna go ahead and say no.One more question: can mods read PM's?

Not unless they have modded VB, I have a forum and I can't read other people's PMs.CHEEZMO;39376614 said:I heard admins can.

Cliques. We keep track of those and attempt to prevent their solidification. GAF is not intended to be like reddit with a series of subforums that have nothing to do with one another and, perhaps, have passionate distaste for one another; we deliberately try to cultivate a single community where anyone can talk to anyone else in a reasonable, friendly manner. Some of these cliques have gotten out of hand -- exhibiting extremely hostility to the rest of GAF and seeing themselves as a separate forum inside the forum, often feeling the general NeoGAF rules should not apply to them -- and some of those cliques have been forcefully dispersed.
This is NeoGAF.this is literally fascism.

It's possible to go right into the database and dig shit up, but that would take work.Not unless they have modded VB, I have a forum and I can't read other people's PMs.
I've see a few people who mainly post in the OT talk about how they dislike the gaming side (I am guilty of this). Would the OT itself count as a subcommunity?
I was juniored once upon a time, but could never find out why, by who, or how long. None of the mods I asked could tell me either.

I would cry if I got permed.
Yeah, I'm too lazy to bother with that.It's possible to go right into the database and dig shit up, but that would take work.
They brought Steve Jobs back to life today. I thought that was nice.I did have a growing hatred for Gaming side.
But just steering clear of console wars and intense gaming discussion.
It's not so bad.
does anyone know any perm-banned gaf members that still browse GAF?
If there's one thing forum mods across the internet love, it's the path of least resistance.Yeah, I'm too lazy to bother with that.
"intense gaming discussion"

In my case, I barely bother doing anything else on the site either.If there's one thing forum mods across the internet love, it's the path of least resistance.

I'm the worst TV show fan site webmaster ever lol.
I'm going to sub to this thread just so I can come back to it in a couple years to see all of the posters who we lost in the struggle, and to get a better idea of who to pay attention to.I think it's surprising that the circumstances have produced this thread, as if there's some sort of cosmic and arbitrary code to being banned from NeoGAF. In my experience, people, by and large, get banned for saying something stupid or bigoted. I don't particularly check my posts for things that might get me banned and I've never been banned.
In fact, I feel that there is an excess of posters who probably should be banned as opposed to the other way around.
