I was suspended once back when I had about 4980 posts. Thankfully it was a requested suspension and was deleted soon afterwards. Apart from that, I have a clean record.

I haven't ever been hit with the banhammer, but I've seen some ridiculous crap that makes me reluctant to stay on this site due to petty, uptight moderators and bans that seem completely stupid. This thread comes to the top of my head though this is by no means the only incident or even the most pathetic: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.175608-Editors-Note-The-Spy-Who-Fragged-Me
For the record, corroded wasn't banned for that post. If he was, then it would've said at the bottom:
[div class=ban_reason]User was banned for this post (permanent)[/div]
Not:
[div class=ban_reason]User was banned for: Editors Note: The Spy Who Fragged Me [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.175608-Editors-Note-The-Spy-Who-Fragged-Me#4988523 target=_self] (permanent)[/div]
If he was banned for that post as well, then the link at the bottom would've linked directly to that post, not to the top of that thread.
The more likely thing to have happened is that the post he was actually banned for was deleted from the thread (why the ban link leads to the top of that thread despite having a number indicating that it was meant to lead to a specific post), however he got put on probation or something similar earlier in the thread and when you're banned, any posts which you've recieved a probation or suspension for now says that you're banned for it (it's why [user]superpandaman[/user] is supposedly banned for this post [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.81746-10-ways-to-go-Gonzo?page=2#1098143] yet the link to the post he was banned for links to a completely different thread which has now been deleted).
