what is the stupidist reason you've been kicked/banned from something?

[bauke67]

One time, while playing Reach, I got three challenges in a single game.
Then just before the end, I tried to kill someone with an energy sword, but I missed and killed my teammate.
I was kicked and lost all my points, with no option off getting them back.
One day, I'll have my revenge!!! Mwahaha

Best genuinly funny reason:
Once, on a team fortress classic server where I was an admin myself, we installed a plugin that gave you credits for kills, flag captures etc. You could than buy all sorts of gimmicks with the credits.
All of the regulars, including the admins, immediatly started looking for ways to make easy credits. After a few days I thought of a brilliant little trick (I won't go into the details, that's not important here) to make credits a a rate way beyond anything anyone else came up with so far. So I was raking in the dough when all of a sudden *BAM* insta-ban out of nowhere. No reason given either.
About 30 mins later I was unbanned by the server's owner (a friend of mine). It turned out the credits plugin had a build-in system to automatically ban anyone making credits at a supposedly impossible rate. And here's the kicker: it didn't take 30 minutes because he didn't know yet. In fact, he got a notification right after the ban. The actual reason was that once he figured out what happened, he was laughing so hard he couldn't even sit in a chair.

Best not-so-funny reason:
I play a lot of left 4 dead 2 versus with random people. Enough said. Think of any reason, no matter how ridiculous, you could be kicked and I guarantee it has happened.
If you play l4d2 you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. If you don't let me give you the quick version: anyone in your team can at any time start a votekick against you. Not just admins. If two more people vote yes, you're out. The entire process usually takes about 5 seconds, you usually can't even say something in time. It's a good way to deal with griefers, but it's mostly used to kick people out of anger because your team is losing. On top of that people seem to automatically vote yes on pretty much anything. If you start a votekick completely at random against a guy who didn't do anything wrong you still have about 50% chance he gets kicked. Think of all the teammates who have ever been mad at you for some reason. Now imagine if they had had the power to kick you. That's the l4d2 problem in a nutshell.

Getting kicked from a dungeon in WoW because my character was a Blood elf

 

[WOPR]

to kick things off, i recently was banned from a browser game (i'm not saying who) for multi accounting, this is because my ISP provides a dynamic IP addess, making it look like a different account each time i logged in.

naturally those dopes didn't accept my appeal with a logical explanation of this.

so escapists, what's YOUR story?

I got banned because having a kdr of 30:0 apparently means you're a hacker... jerks... not my fault I'm good and they all sucked...

 

[Soxafloppin]

I got banned from the old Midway Forums for disagreeing with the only 20K+ plus poster, I think about something MK related.

 

[DugMachine]

Hmm got banned from my schools network for a month for bypassing firewalls, deleting system 32s, getting into teacher's emails, changing a few grades etc etc. I was kind of bad.

Got banned from a TF2 server telling the mod to stfu cause he kept complaining about some spy that was dominating him.

Banned from xbox live for "Harassment" after I beat these kids. They kept messaging me so I replied a few times, keeping my cool. I said "shit" once and got banned, well suspended.

WoW account suspended for a few days for language, griefing

Banned from so many Minecraft servers for not talking, building on land that wasn't apparently mine, griefing (the mod was being a total asshole to me for no reason so I took a block from his house). Unoriginal content.

BF2 cause I was apparently hacking. They said I had an aimbot. Nooooo, just don't suck ass with a sniper.

 

[ToastiestZombie]

Banned from Club Penguin (I WAS CURIOUS) because I was with my friends and we have this saying that goes "Oompah Loompah to you all", I said it and then got banned.

 

[CarlMin]

I was once banned from a forum for disagreeing with a moderator's political opinion. That wasn't very nice.

 

[gunman127]

I keep getting kicked by Punkbuster because of a conflict with the Steam overlay in BF2...

Steam says its Punkbusters fault, Punkbuster says it's steams fault... nobody fixes anything.

I just have to remember to turn it off before playing online.

 

[Immortal_Engines]

Was once booted of a Halo Reach game due to me accidently killing a teammate in the last 2 secs.


FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[Stu35]

I once got kicked off a forum because me and a Welsh lad were having a bit of banter (fun joking at each others expense).

We were both banned for "Abusive Behaviour", by a retarded American moderator.

 

[shaboinkin]

I was playing CS on some form of Iceworld. The admin said no staying back in the spawn and told everyone to rush or else get kicked. It was suicide everything for both teams. No fun involved. Just whoever could press shoot faster.

I said "Man, this server is lame"

Three seconds later:

You have been banned from this server.

lolwut?

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

I've been banned and/or kicked from a bunch of games for not being very good.

Mostly Starcraft and Left 4 Dead.
See, I don't get that attitude, I'm new to both those games, but I'll only get better with practice. Kicking me from a game denies me that practice and means I'll be terrible for additional games.

So, in summary:
Screw you! I'm sorry we can't all slither from the womb with flawless build orders and lightning fast reflexes, but there's no reason to act high and mighty just because you've been playing the game nonstop since it first dropped. Some of us have lives.

I've got three computers in my house, and on some days I'm switching computers a lot. This was a problem for Steam. After three straight days of switching about twice a day, Steam not only banned my account from VAC servers, but blocked my account. I lost $700 worth of games because Steam is too stupid to see that all the computers had the same router IP.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I've been kicked out of game rooms almost as soon as i enter them. I've also been kicked out of games of L4D simply because i didn't have a DLC package that was non-essential to the playing of a game. also i've been booted from things for poking holes in people arguments by using simple logic.

 

[thahat]

I've almost been kicked out of a pub for pretending to pass out...

That is all I got...

No wait. I've been banned from quite a few MP servers (various games) back in school, because I was so good they thought I was cheating -_-

the kick from mp servers also applied to me.
'only the host can use the lancer!' @ gears 1 >> my ass he can. so what if theres some lag. aim in FRONT of people. its called anticipation humans have it. XD

 

[AnarchistFish]

I got banned indefinitely (it took months to get my name cleared) from the IRC of a wiki because I mentioned (factually) on one of the channels that one of the big shot admins (one of the ones that adminned several wikis) had been banned entirely (I can't remember the exact term (K-something?)) from Freenode .

 

[Kais86]

I was once banned for suggesting that the vehicles and warriors of warhammer 40k do not stand up to modern warriors and vehicles, much less things from other scifi series.
