After reading my post over in the Forum Experience thread, I got to thinking about the subject and figured I'd go ahead and ask the question: has anyone here ever been banned from a forum in the past?

Quoting what I wrote over in the Forum Experience thread:
Getting post-banned from a Walking Dead forum for 2 weeks....its' been about 4,5 months now and I'm still somewhat pissed over it. :mad:
...so, for me, the answer's yes, unfortunately...and yes, I'm still somewhat pissed over it.  :whistle:  :whistle:  :whistle:  :whistle:
 
Once. From a forum which was MY creation. Luckily I had the chance to access the Admin CP and transfer my 'ban' to the member who banned me. :lol:
 
Yeah I got banned for being a friend of the person they were really after. Guilty by association I suppose. Oh well, didn't phase me. :P
 
A few times for various reasons, many of which I felt were unwarranted and some I know were totally my fault.
 
once

grammer nazi admin banned me..........then his site closed..........then he joined a forum where im a moderator.....muhahahahahahaha :halo:
 
Yes, once. The forum had been sold to a new owner who brought in his own staff members and way of doing things. I (along with a lot of the original members) quickly went from staff member to banned.

That's what happened over at WATWD to a friend of mine when I got post-banned there; she got tarred by the brush of association, which also grates at me after these past few months....
 
Yep, just because the owner wouldn't take criticism and thought he knew everything!
 
I think explained That i was very long time ago(ealyier similar topic)
on now defunct forum called AqworldsZoneForum or azf
just post again:
Oh dear lord where do I even begin?
Once upon a time there was forum called Aqworlds Zone Forum
Or AZF
Join the forum after merge with it predcessor dwarfhold forum
Which btw still exist today never offically closed down in fact
But back on subject on hand
Back during 2011-2012 when was young or kid
The forum activity started go down hill.i foretold that one day it shutdown
But didn't help that staff were immature for the time
I made topic "these are not swears" or something or the like
I made mistakes before this was third strike the. Was banned and then made things worst by crated new accounts just fit back in
Then things lead to another
Oh i did forget minson that they banned founder of the forum?
THE FREAKING FOUNDER
Anywho
then may 2012 AZF shutdown for good
It was disaster to begin with
Forum staff was runned by immature teens
End of story
well okay then
 
Banned on Forum Promotion due to power hungry admins. Nerdie in particular.

Long story short: up until about mid-June or thereabouts over at WATWD, I was one of the regular posters over there and a regular in the forum's Walking Dead AU roleplay. I asked one of the admins over there, TG09, a question in regards to the RP...well, TG09 came back w/an appallingly flippant response that got me pissed at him. I responded accordingly...it spread to other parts of the board and eventually, me, TG09 and the board's other admin, Valentino, got into it in a few other places.....

...end result: I got post-banned for about 2 weeks over there., lost all my RP characters 'save one - and TG, that mf'er, can have that one - and eventually just slowly drifted away from there; I think my last post there was a few weeks ago. Do I regret what happened? A little bit...look at it this way, Nebulous: as much as I respect Valentino in regards to her skills w/avatars, sigs, forum skins and coding, I have absolutely zero respect for her as an admin. In fact, I'll go a step further on that one, Nebulous: I'd have more respect for Smooth, of all people, as an admin over there than I would for Valentino....and given that I don't really care for Smooth all that much, that should say something. :whistle: :whistle:

Before I forget, though...I had planned on going out in one last, napalming blaze of glory over at We Are The Walking Dead Voldemort's Forum; this was what I had planned as my last post over there:
 
Of course, since most forums are just sandboxes for their owners/moderators who usually can't handle the real truth.
 
I was banned at a forum, which was due to the fact that I posted decently there. When I made another account to ask the reason, the Administrator told me that members could only make very few posts a day. The whole community was rude in more ways than one. They un-banned my original account and banned the other one. Like the members there, the staff was just as snotty as the rest of the place. I never returned there. I can't stand rude/dramatic forums at all.

I know a lot of people who that happened to. That's such a shame.

Sounds like they're slightly related to the admins over at WATWD.... :ohmy:
....come to think of it - and adding to my previous thought on the subject - the admins over at WATWD are also slightly hypocritical too... :whistle:

....now that I've thought some more about it, maybe they - the admins over there - along with the aforementioned admins over at WATWD can do the following....

The first website that I joined, I spammed up with links to my "Cool NEW WEBSITE 4 Wrestling videos and matches!1!!!" and they banned me. I soon learned that that's frowned upon.
