Why was I banned??

DeVore · 2007-05-03 21:40:47

For fun and giggles (and with no names of any users associated with them).... here is a list of the reasons various mods, smods and admins have given for banning users back through the sites history (or at least since we started to capture such things).

I got banned from instruments forum ages ago for trying to sell my guitar wtf?!Whats the deal,I'm still banned an dunno how I violated the rules.
Thought thats what its for selling music equipment.
I'd love to ,but not naming the moderator that banned me they need not be such a smartass.:mad:

No, it's for discussing instruments. If your first post was to try and sell your guitar it's simply going to look like spam.

If you still want to sell it, use this section of adverts.ie. it's basically the for sale part of boards.ie and your login will work there.

There was a for sale forum you were meant to use.

Here's an idea, why don't you stick your printer products up your ass instead of trying to advertise them here without paying. You'll never have to buy toilet roll again, just print a test page whenever you crap

Surrealism at its best ...loike it, loike it !

I'm also banned from the magical happy fairly land that is Paranormal for taking the piss out of people who believe in Banshees. Well worth it though, isn't it?

There needs to be a separate paranormal board for people who think it's all nonsense.

Definitely. I don't know how those people expect us to take them seriously. 'ZOMG I was thinking of a show, and the next thing it was on TV? Am I psychic????', or 'OMFG I walked through a Fairy Fort, and I know about different energies and my legs were tingling, did the Fairies molest me?' ... :rolleyes:

I actually like Paranormal forums and i am a member of other ones on other sites but the one on boards is full of people that know it all's that complain about people who dont dont have an open mind. When in fact they are the ones with the closed mind as they believe everything that is said is gospil. There is no objective reasoning behind that site and infact its an embarrasment to other paranormal site's.

Can we get it re-named to the Buffy forum ?

I don't think they care what other people think... and I suppose if they wanted people taking the píss and posting negative comments, they'd just use AfterHours.
It's a little hideaway for the reality-impaired.

Yeah I've had a read of that forum a few times, I was going to mention it... but they strike me as being too balanced and reasonable.
What I'd like is the antonym of the paranormal forum where nothing is entertained and you get banned for even suggesting there might be more to the world than meets the eye.
Needs some balance, that's all.

So, instead of a Paranormal thread, we have a 'Normal' thread? As a linguistically challenged Asian person might say "oooh, me rikey that"!

In fairness, he did say "FACT" after it, which only ever happens with untrue statements, so I think it was a joke.

That league of bastards table is all wrong. I have most definitely banned people permanently into the hundreds.

For christ sakes ... the FS tickets forum!!! Every. Bloody. Summer

That tally must only be counting my adverts.ie bans
