Have you ever been banned from a forum?

I have been. I was banned from another bass forum, that was on its way downhill.

Unfortunately I was banned for having an opinion contrary to those in charge, and for standing up for an individual(s) who I felt had been wronged.

No. I've participated in political forums of all types for years but I've never been banned because I try not to act like a ****.

I was banned from Ultimate-Guitar for 30 days for winding up a moderator.

I'm on another warning there at the moment....another warning and it's a 45 day ban for me.

I've had bans from many forums.

The 3 or 4 from UG, the perma from PF1 and the IP ban from ChristianForums.com stick in the memory for some reason...haha

Technically, yes. There's a forum I used to visit where one of the admins decided to just say "**** this forum", and gave his pass to a guy who had been banned, who then went on the admin account and banned every member, including me. It's an odd little forum, it's always had a slight twinge of anarchy to it, and that seems to only be growing as time goes by. I hardly visit it anymore though, as it's a metal forum and I havent really been into metal lately.

I'd do the same, but I'd find another way to procrastinate.

no. However, there was a period at the Carvin forums in which everyone was pretty much sick of me because I kept whining that my Icon didn't sound good and because I bragged about my high post count.

*sigh* ah, to be 15 again...

Nope.

I guess I don't have any virtual street cred now for revealing that.

Yes... in '07 I was banned from sending any more emails to Fox News... Commentator Bill O'Reilly in particular. After sending maybe 3 emails there for his attention, I noticed ALL my emails after that were 'Undeliverable' ..all emails started bouncing.. Obviously my email address had been filtered at that point. . . BANNED from Fox News!!

Yes. I was banned from another forum for 3 days. I bumped an old thread. I still remember the ban message.

"Go outside and enjoy your weekend."
