    That was good - you would have created history by becoming the first 'Ban Discussee' to become banned whilst in the process of speculating on the nature of 'bans'...that was a tough one to spit out...but be weary about casting aspersions on fellow members...I just stood outside the Rufus Wainwright concert...I didn't actually go in

    I couldn't care less about you:p

    but you do seem very pedantic, should you not be organizing your underwear/sock drawer instead of trying to wind up people

    Actually No- had wanted to get banned from the Mathematics forum but i couldn't remember Riemann's first name and didn't want to look silly,naturally - his first name was Bernard and his Hypothesis is one of the Seven UNsolved Maths conundrums in existance today - maybe I should be in Personal Issues - It's freaky you knowing that I hadn't been on the Maths Forum - It's a touch Orwellian...

    It's not freaky at all.
    I just looked through your other posts.

    Anyone can do it.

    I better be careful or it'll be me getting the next ban:)

    Fair enough,it's not Jimmy Saville freaky but it is a touch unnerving all the same...showing me up in front of the forum like that...I must make a point of actually going to the Maths forum soon and planting something about the Pioncare Conjecture...

    Indeed I have. :)

    This place does take a bit of getting used to, but once you get the feel of it, then you can usually function quite well within its parameters.


    In the interest of fairness, I should also point out that I have been banned from AH and politics twice and banned from Pets and animals or whatever it's called once.
    The pets one was odd because I had never even posted there.

    I got banned permanently from the Cuckoo's Nest in the GET BANNED HERE, STUPID thread when they stopped banning people out of sheer slugbutt laziness, and I posted LongCat just to see if they would start doing it again.

    Hell just doesn't want me, and heaven is full. I am actually capable of astounding clarity and reason when I want to be. But since mods mostly ignore you for sharing loads of astounding and helpful clarity and ban you for one minorly annoyed slip of the finger, (leaving a massive wasteland of flabby, mildly chicken-flavoured soggy-cracker mediocrity that is not unlike those horrible gender-separated bully-rife guilt-mongering schools that many Irish unfortunates attended in your youth,) nailing down anyone with the chutzpah to stick out of the crowd, I thought, why not. My sell-by date on moderated forums (that don't discuss anything I actually like enough to remain pleasant and civil on principle) is rather short.

    My qualifications to be a forum moderator, let alone a very productive poster with loads of time to waste indoors, are quite lacking, due to my inability to a) have self-esteem low enough to actually enjoy controlling what people say in a place that only exists in pixels, 1's and 0's, b) be an unemployable housewife or a hallucinating harpy, c) be intent on making up for all the bullying I got in school for being a geek by becoming Heinrich Himmler Von Moderator, d) be a pale blue troglodyte, a Morlock, a mediocretin, and allergic to the outdoors, and e) generally be Pink in the middle, terrified of real-world effectiveness, and oozing an astounding amount of ego-related hypersensitivity from all non-generative orifices.

    Of course, as saying that will very likely get me banned even though it was about 20,000 IQ points higher than the silage that so-called free speech gives us on places like 4chan, I am afraid that the only option is to remain better than all moderators, get banned, and proceed to tut-tut at a system that wastes so much time with moderators m@sturb@ting their egos in a virtual conversation about f0kall, when there is this thing that could be invented called a killfile.

    I've been banned for a week for cracking an inappropiate joke towards gays. Now I'm currently banned for a MONTH for cracking a joke about batman (?) and then saying something along the lines of "oh no, am gonna get banned now..."! LOL! Only a day or two after coming off a previous ban!

    Follow that!

    *NOW UPDATED*

    Since this, I've been banned for the past 2 wks from Personal Issues for laughing at the fact that the first comment under a thread entitled "I'm obsessed with sex" was "PM me!"....what a joke.

    Also banned from the Cuckoos Nest for posting "bring it bitch" in the "post in this and you will be banned permanently" thread.

    Ugh!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    I think I'm banned on a couple of forum's here, not too sure.

    I know I'm banned from one of the Dublin forums (north county Dublin I think). I got a week ban along time ago, was suppose to PM the Mod to have it lifted and couldn't be arsed.

    A few of the lads here in work are banned from various forums here too. Its a pain in the ass for me sometimes as we all share the same IP addresses of course.

    I'm banned from BGRH for being too manly.

    I actually read it too. It's the usual 'fight the powah' rant, along with the usual missing the glaringly obvious stupidity that is ranting about being banned due to posting in a thread entitled "post in this thread to get permanently banned"

    ha ha! Actually I read Pigmans comment earlier and I gotta say as bad as it was I thought it was hilarious!!! :D

    Found it! Just a general quick-down! Girl in bath, boyfriend comes in drunk, holds her head down under water, shes in shock, jumps out, runs into bedroom and locks door.

    Pigman II replies..."Some people just get turned on by that kind of weird stuff. I know I do! I even got turned on reading your post. Was it not exciting for you in the least?"

    ahaha...I apologise for laughing.

    Personal Issues.

    They really need to chill out IMO :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    I disagree Cheeky_gal. It's a very serious forum with threads started by people experiencing suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, abuse and so on. There is no place for lighthearted banter between posters and it says so on the charter. Some absolute idiots post utter crap on it - they really think they can treat it the same as After Hours - and your post is nowhere near the worst, but it's unhelpful and off-topic.

    I'm currently serving a one-week ban from PI for getting into an argument on a thread started by a 25-year-old guy who fancies a 17-year-old girl and is wondering if he should go for it.
    I had no problem with anyone who said he may as well go for it since she's legal and she might be very mature etc, but I lost it with the guys who were advocating he treat her like a bit of fresh meat.
