This..... I'm just gonna come out and say it..... This sounds really dodgy and made-up.Wrex Brogan said:N...no. Never been banned. Nope. Nosiree. And if I had been banned, I'd never return to the website under a different name! That'd just be rude, that!
- my partner was actually perma-banned from here, The Escapist! He was a little too aggressive/insulting too many times so he got the hammer, but he liked the place enough he recommended it to me when I was forum-hunting. We've got a bit of a joke about it too since I use his laptop when I'm here, whenever I post something salty he'll warn me 'watch out, they might recognize me' since we think (note: neither of us know much about computers) it's the same IP address or something.
No kidding! Some of those Mods are insane. For reference the article was about Publishing being a patriarchy because women had to publish action/adventure/horror stories as men to get noticed apparently. My heinous crime was to point out that some men wrote Romance novels under female nom de plumes for the very same reason. That was what caused the moderator to lose their shit!Catnip1024 said:Does getting kicked from Counterstrike servers for only using the knife count? Otherwise, nah.
It is funny how the Guardian, which goes on about how they are independent and free to voice whatever opinion, seems to be one of the most over-moderated media outlets going.Quellist said:The Guardian, for daring to question the narrative of a feminist article (in a polite manner). I must have angered one of the mods who deleted my every post, no matter how non-confrontationally i phrased them s/he simply wouldn't allow me to make my point, then put my account on automatic moderation then finally banned me entirely.
As someone who considers himself something of a liberal that was pretty annoying to say the least
Don't worry. Waypoint actually did you a favor by sparing you from the Halo 5 echo chamber. Basically, at Halo 5 launch, everyone who was pissed with the game got shouted down by the retards who were fine with it and we all just basically left.Paragon Fury said:Halo Waypoint was the first, and A LOT of people got perma-d because prior to the release of Halo 4 when people were criticizing 343's obvious and insane stupidity, the mods went nuts and banned a whole crap ton of the most vocal critics, myself included - for completely random things like how things were worded or just being anything less than pleasant with anyone.
IMGUR...well, I was a veteran of the GIF Wars and the NSFW wars there and Sarah's new attitude towards the mature filter and "lewd content" and letting the mod's mod completely decide what was allowed and what was not finally got me overkilled; shadowbanned, permabanned AND apparently got IP banned too.
Same here, except for the blackmail(why didn't I think of that?). I've not had reason to go running around other sites, and even then I usually try to avoid doing things that would end in me getting banned.tippy2k2 said:Nope
Then again, this is the only website that I frequently visit so if I did get banned, I'd be super bummed and have no where else to go...
Good thing I have all that blackmail on one of the Mods!
Normally, no.Johnny Novgorod said:Never. Didn't even know you could get banned from IMGUR.
Same here. I made a joke that was apparently in bad taste, and got the boot. I came back, however.Wrex Brogan said:Ye-
*sees mods in the thread*
N...no. Never been banned. Nope. Nosiree. And if I had been banned, I'd never return to the website under a different name! That'd just be rude, that!
I've been banned from one website, like 10 years ago - some Roleplaying forum, where I didn't let a user into my RP who was apparently buddy-buddy with one of the mods, who perma-banned me for a bunch of contrived reasons. Wasn't too great a loss though, wasn't exactly the most populated website and I think it even shut down like... 6 months later.
As for the joke above - my partner was actually perma-banned from here, The Escapist! He was a little too aggressive/insulting too many times so he got the hammer, but he liked the place enough he recommended it to me when I was forum-hunting. We've got a bit of a joke about it too since I use his laptop when I'm here, whenever I post something salty he'll warn me 'watch out, they might recognize me' since we think (note: neither of us know much about computers) it's the same IP address or something.
