Have you ever been banned?

[Dan The Man]

Of course. I have been banned a lot over my nearly 18 year forum career, but fortunately nothing within the last 10 years or so.

I used to be very careful with all the forum that I join in making sure that I observe all the forum rules and regulations with my posting. This have helped me never to get banned on any forums for a very long time now.

I was banned once for a stupid reason that doesn't even make sense half the time lol. Then otherwise I haven't been banned. I once had an account banned because I accidentally made a 2nd account, but I don't count that as a ban, it was just a way to make sure I didn't use the 2nd account and only use the one.

I've never been banned from a forum but I found out years later I almost got banned from Titansgo dot net, it was a Teen Titans fan site. I joined the forum when I was 16 in a half and was a complete noob. One time my dad told me it would be a good idea to let the people on the forum know how much I didn't like rap music or Akon, and I listened to him. That resulted in admins changing my avatar to a MSpaint drawing of a black guy, and I got mad they changed it and said "Who changed my avitar?!" (Yes even with that misspelling...) I was lucky they didn't ban me right away. I didn't know they were talking about me in the staff lounge until there was a read only archive of the site uploaded and I was able to see the staff lounge. :V

Nope, but I recently requested that the Admin over at TAZ delete my account... which he graciously did. Got tired of the game over there. My account is now officially known as Username 13511. Pity... one of their few active participants and they simply lose a user. So don't try to find me over there.
Sometimes users get fed up with the game playing and simply don't want their name associated with a site, which was my case. They lose one of their major posters because of their game playing.... no loss for me, but for them it is. They have a VERY low participation rate from members, relying on a small subset of members. Realistically I get NO benefit from them, all the benefit is on their end. I'm pretty sure that VERY few of their members are approaching 6000 posts. I have a very low tolerance for BS when I get nothing from somewhere.

I wouldn't want to experience being banned on a forum. I know a couple of friends that got banned for not keeping to the community rules and they understood it too.
