What did you do whilst you were banned?

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I sat listening to Blue October, waiting for what I presumed to be an error to correct itself.

Oh, and then I played Crackdown 2 a bit. The demo is pretty weak-sauce, it doesn't let you do Crackdown things, you're too crap to enjoy the game. I'll definitely buy it when it's released though. So yeah, that was what I did.

I got really paranoid and clicked the little link for disputing it. lol. I thought I actually got banned or put on suspension with no notice of it or something.

That.

I freaked out, messaged an admin, went for a walk, freaked out some more, got heat exhaustion, ate lunch, freaked out some more, then came back here to find it was merely a glitch of some kind.

Picked my brother up from soccer practice. Going to get my driving license soon, so every time I get to drive is some training.

 

[Fraught]

Jesus Christ, you sure are dependant on this site so much that you can't go without it for an hour.

What did I do? What I do always when I'm on the computer.

I was on mah' dam' IRC!

Also, I went and took a look at Cracked's forums. They're a pretty cool place.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

I panic because shit gotten manic.

I threw a fit, and pitch a *****

I decided to play KOTOR 2...because it was all I could do.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I sent a message to the mods asking what was going on. Then I past the time by watching the latest episodes of Fairy Tail and FMA brotherhood.

 

[ARatherHandsomeGent]

minutes before I saw it I had accentually pushed the report button on someone, and panicked slightly thinking that was enough to get me banned. I'm now relieved that it was just an error.

 

[PatrickXD]

I panicked, then I sent a pleasant message, finely detailing how I'm a wonderful guy on the inside (Please, oh god please let me back christ I'll be your slave for ever!) Then I played Morrowind and laughed quietly to myself as I ate forcefed a Dark Elf my claymour. Then I came back and hey ho all was once again right in the world. Yeah, the irony is I only have like 90 posts over the course of almost a year? I just dont like the idea of being banned.
Oh Oh Oh! Embarrassing afterthought when I saw the big BANNED thing on OP, I freaked out!

 

[Snork Maiden]

I missed all the action.

Which I guess is totally good and yay.

 

[Scde2]

I prayed at the nearest church [sub]Sarcasm[/sub] and then went swimming at the nearby gym.

 

[busterkeatonrules]

First, I sent a polite and well-formulated inquiry to the moderators via the "If you feel that you're getting this message in error" - link. Then, while waiting for an answer, I went and played Saints Row 2 for a while.

When I returned to The Escapist, the problem was gone.

And that's how I learned that video game violence is the solution to everything!

 

[Cain_Zeros]

I wasn't even on when all this was going on, so... Go me?

 

[HassEsser]

I submitted a ticket regarding my inability to post, but I was quite apathetic and calm about it. "Meh" I thought.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

I yelled "No fucking way, how the fuck did I... was it that fucking Nazi comment? Fucking fuck that was a fucking joke! I got fucking banned for that? ************!"

and then emailed people and tried to send PMs, sent a message to the mods apologising for my behaviour, asking them to apologise to whoever I had offended, and also asking to see the post that got me banned. I then went through my post catalog trying to find the offending post.

At some point I joined a user group.

 

[ShockValue]

I wasted time trying to pick my courses for university.

 

[Leviathan_]

I've only been put on probation once when I was new here.

I wasn't even sure what the consequences for it were so I was worried I guess.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

I haven't been banned here, but when I was banned on Unforgotten Realms I was like: Dude, wtf? Why?! And when I was banned on Youtube, I was like: Holly sh--! NO! Of course after my YT banning I got my act together and I am never posting an AVGN video ever again on my channel. But on Unforgotten Realms, I rejoined and eventually got Non-Adventurer status. I guess that forum just isn't good for me.

 

[yoyo13rom]

Wait, what? You mean everyone was banned, or just some?
Because I was almost al day here and haven't noticed anything.
