What were you banned for?

[tdans]

ROFL.. the credits before the show started were epic... one of the funniest parts. Dancing lamas ..

[BigBallinStalin]

I like it, I like it all, I was basing it on Phatscotty's "He said IT again!!"

[nagerous]

For being in a clan Twill didn't like.

[monster10]

Racism flaming creating ALOTTTTTTTT of posts and a multi so i could talk in forums

[Snorri1234]

I don't really remember what the reasons for all my bans were. I got kicked of the site entirely once for posting under someone else's account in a private forum, someone paid for my premium so I could get back.

Other then that it was mostly trolling by means of creating dozens of threads in flame wars, flaming and trolling and things I don't really remember.

Well that was the sort of explaination. He might have had a crush on us that he couldn't express any other way.

[Timminz]

Once for calling someone's mother a whore. Once for starting a thread called, "What do you know about Jefferson Starship" (or was it Jefferson Airplane?). And once for hot-linking a couple images from a site that plays hilarious, yet CC-ban-worthy, tricks on people who hot-link their images.

There was a time when Pimpdave, myself, and I forget who.... we were on at 9 AM spamming the OT forums with a bunch of dumb threads that all related to each other. We were having a good time.
An hour or so later Clapper came along and locked the threads.
If I remember correctly, GT logged in and rallied most of the OT regulars against moderating. Their stance was that OT doesn't need any mods, and that our threads shouldn't have been locked because we were just having fun. Pimpdave and I tried to knock some sense into the mob, but to no avail. We were done with the threads anyway....
So the mob started an anti-moderating petition, and got a lot of signatures (really).... they called out clapper, and wanted the rest of the mods gone as well. Naturally I struck out to defend clapper's moderating skills.... I started a bunch of threads with the same title here in OT, but with stupid stuff inside. Clapper locked my threads and gave me a ban. As Jones said 'they were spam, but not really." I dunno how much impact I personally had, but the petition died soon after that.

When she banned me, clapper said "I'm really sorry that I have to do this but you've left me no choice!" Of course, you ask her about it today and she doesn't even remember.

My second ban was for a flame fight in GD.

My third was for "trolling" in a spam thread in GD.

Yep, the blanket clan ban has only ever happened twice. Once to the stachewhackers and once to the bullet proof bandits.

[obliterationX]

For exploiting the ever-dwindling intelligence quotient of your average CC member.

Oh yeah, got that ban too.

[natty dread]

I got banned from this one bar because I was sitting under the table and making funny noises.

[john9blue]

Was warned by Andy because dave complained to him, but I've never been banned. I guess by some standards that makes me a timid suck-up pussy, and by others makes me an excellent upstanding poster.

[AAFitz]

I received my 30 day ban for telling fitz that he was acting like a little girl with her panties in a wad. No shit.

I received my 6 month ban for answering a question on the mod recruitment thread. The question was "how much are mods here paid", and my answer was to refer them to Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" and tell them to read the fence painting episode therein. Bam! Immediate 6 month ban for "negative posts and trolling". Waddasurprise!


Honibaz

Im just glad you used it against me, and not one of the kids you're usually "posting" with in here.

As far as the reference to Tom Saywer...

Waddasurprise!

I have yet to be banned...but my first choice of words on this post was my first ticket. Luckilly, I know how to use the edit button.

I just hope if I ever do get banned.... I don't get my boxers too ruffled in my pants.

I just hate that, don't you?

Oh hell yes fitz. I mean, that could've been really traumatic for one of your "kids" to be told that they had their panties in a wad - God knows what kind of mental and emotional scars that might've left. Thanks so much for that insightful input.

recently i've had a week ban for calling someone a waste of space and a month for posting something i'd read on the BBC about islamic extremists and their families sponging off britain. it was ok for the beeb but not cc, and there lies the problem with this forum.

the reason they gave me for the month was trolling/baiting! it was one post not directed at anyone in a thread about britain raising it's terror alert!! i appealed and would love to share the reply i got with you but i'd get 6 months.

I'm very curious...would you mind linking to the post? Or if you fear that might result in another ban, PM it to me.

The trauma and emotional scars I was worried about to had nothing to do with you posting about their panties in a wad.

I really find it hard to take what people say on the internet seriously. Of course, some do have good points and an enlightening conversation can follow, but when insults are thrown around, it doesn't matter. Take it in stride and bring it to the next level for MORE FUN--be diplomatic while doing so, or ignore it and carry on.

[Phatscotty]

anyone else?

[nietzsche]

for point dumping and name calling lackattack,

other time for multis (never played together just detected the same ip in the 2 accounts, i said it was my brother but they must've known i didn't have one)

that's all

Those are all hilarious actually.

All of my bans I have deserved and have celebrated the opportunity they have provided me for introspection and reflection. The Valued Mods know what they're doing, gang.

My first ban was for having cyber-sex during in-game chat with an unwilling partner. (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=91783&p=2112884&hilit=saxitoxin+pornography#p2112582)

Also, I received a 30-day ban after requesting a 2-week ban. (I knew I had a busy fortnight coming up and couldn't be tempted by the CC mistress so had requested the block.)

I received another ban (viewtopic.php?f=239&t=95992&p=2195012&hilit=Portuguese+saxitoxin#p2194931) after filing a complaint about a 4-way game I was involved in during which three of the players were speaking Portuguese in violation of the English-only rules. Regrettably, the mods looked into it more closely than I'd anticipated and discovered I was one of the three players speaking Portuguese.

I can't recall what the rest were for but I've been banned quite a bit. Each case deservedly so.

Thanks, gang!
