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.

Live and learn...

That's pretty much a universal rule everywhere, Nicholas... :whistle:

I've been banned from a couple of forums in my day.  O.o

For what?
Well, I started using forums when I was only ten years old, and I got banned from one forum back in the day because I broke the rules. I got banned from one other forum because of some drama.

In my defense, my website really was a cool new website 4 wrestling videos and matches!1!!!, and I was eleven.
 
I've been suspended for using bad language and using the word ( fuck ), but never banned. The administrator was not to fond of me at all. She pretty much didn't have to ban me, she and her friends just ran me off instead.

Really? If the admin really wanted those words off her forum, she should have enabled the automatic word censor. Personally I don't care if people say fuck, shit, bitch or whatever. They're just words to me. :dontknow:

That's what - in part - got me banned for a little while from WATWD, Nebulous...though to be fair to TG09 & Valentino (the admins over there), me telling them back in late June to go fuck themselves - among other things - was probably not the best thing to say at the time... :ohmy:

...on the other hand, FWIW, they can still go fuck themselves over there, pardon my language... :whistle: :whistle:
 
I once got banned from a forum because I was spamming / flaming. I understood the former because I was young and dumb (I was only 11 or 12 at the time), though still not sure about the latter.

I got unbanned a few years later after maturing a bit.
 
yes, it is no surprise. I have been banned before. I got into it with the administrator several times and the silly bitch would often give me bans as long as a month. We were supposedly friends as I used to believe. But eventually she banned me for good than started emailing me. Funny how friends get a long.

Doe's it count if you purposely get banned?

Yes! I've done that myself a few times.

Yes!  I've done that myself a few times.

What were the circumstances to make you want that?

Didn't you say in another thread, that members who feel oppressed start to troll and act out? That seems like a good reason.

I did and they do, but I just wanted to know his/her specific reasons. It could be different. :dontknow:
