Member Introductions

Welcome to Off Topix! We're excited to have you here. Take this opportunity to introduce yourself to our vibrant community and start connecting with others!

Have you ever been banned?

I think twice.

One for defending a friend against an onslaught of aggression.

One for threatening to introduce someone's peehole to a drill.

And there's one I did totally on purpose but I'm not sure if they actually did ban me... Basically, the forum had become way too elitist and admins would publicly side with certain members and join them on flame wars against long-time contributors and newcomers alike, so I went on a terroristic, junk-posting campaign and left before they could react (but not before calling out the biggest offenders). It was fun XD
 
I've been full on banned once, and temp banned twice.
 
A few times.

I've been banned for posting too much. Usually, it's a temp ban, but I never go back after that.

I was banned from the Simple Machines Forum support community once. Another member accused me of being someone else and called me a thief. They went around and told everyone I ripped him off on a theme design job. I've never designed themes. So, I made a website dedicated to exposing the guy. I used open-source intelligence and public domain to collect information on him to add to the site. I was banned for a few days, as was he, but they let me back in. That's when I quit using SMF. I think I handled it wrong, though, now. It just made me mad at the moment.

That's probably about it for me. :)
 
I have been banned before, either because of my own stupidity or because the staff were corrupt af.
 
I have been banned on several forums for stupid reasons. I hope I don't get banned here as well.
