Nope. Never read the posting guidelines either, you can pretty safely sum them up to be: Don't be a dick.

The Escapist banned me because I said I considered porn stars to be prostitutes and their new series I Hit it With My Axe to be a pathetic ratings grabber for socially retarded geeks.

As the moderator knew some of the cast they made a completely unprofessional and emotive decision. I have no respect for them.

Edit: I did complain to them about this and the responses I got were indicative of people who didn't have a leg to stand on. And yes, I'm aware that they don't like people complaining about bans so I expect more ridiculousness from them.

Yes. Twice. First for making a pointless thread about scratching and the second time for repeated derailments. Funny thing about the derails, 2 of the 3 derails that caused me to to get suspended happened in 2008 while the third happened this year. That's a long memory >.>

Ive gotten a bunch of warnings, 2 of them well deserved but one of them was between me and this other guy and we were just joking around.

While I share your dislike of that particular series, it was probably considered pretty offensive for the women in question to be called prostitutes. That was probably what the suspension was for.

Pornstars are not prostitutes because they are not paid by clients to give them direct sexual gratification, they are paid to interact sexually with other paid actors. It's not a massive divide but it's there.

Sounds like someone got a case of the power-happies. I hate idiots who do that (especially since I'm a moderator and/or admin on a number of forums and some people just don't trust moderators or admins full stop because of the actions of a few morons).

I got suspended for saying game dogs is crap.
I think a lot of people have been suspended for that. I'm almost afraid to share my thoughts on that show...

If you're on about the Escapist, I was put on probation once for posting a slightly offensive demotivational poster.

As for school, nope, can't say I've ever been suspended. I skipped loads of days, and caught on a few of them, which is apparently suspension worthy, but nothing ever happened.

I don't see why you can't be entitled to your own opinion. You aren't attacking anyone individually, I don't think. Aside from maybe the Escapist as a whole, but is a bad remark really that much skin off of their nose?

However, I suppose their rules are their rules, and we've got to abide by them emotionally driven or not.

Well, I have been suspended from school a couple of times mainly for getting into fights. But this one I am about to say is the most fucked up. I was walking down the hall and this kid smashed my head into a fire extinguisher case... but that's not the best part, the best part was... I got in trouble and suspended.
