How does someone get BANNED from TB??

[RoadRanger]

Is it? I was under the assumption that if it could be said on regular TV it was fine.

I'm 100% sure that isn't true .

 

[RoadRanger]

It is in the FAQ

Oops, I don't think you can use the F word here either

If I destroyed my bass and posted graphic pictures of the bits and pieces that could call for a ban.

No, people would say, "Nice relic job, man. Totally sweet mojo."

Well, to give a quick 'real' answer, someone several years ago was ranting and CHEF made a comment about 'calming down.' Not one minute later the person in question fired off a really rude reply . . . a personal rude reply. He must of not known to whom he was speaking. He found out.

if you insult or somehow insinuate that Class D amps or fearful/greenboy is garbage you will immediately be banned. this is the sacred equipment. only the best accountants and lawyers and businessmen who never play gigs play this equipment. the best of the best.

P Bass without tort guard, with fresh, steel, roundwound strings.

 

[Ajapses]

No, that would only be a warning. You have to pair that 115 with a 410 to get banned.

I did it and didn't get banned, but only because I publicly admitted it sukt. (If sukt is not ban fodder... please substitute 'sucked'.)

Hmm ... I'm an accountant (CFO, actually), and I frequently play Class D amps. But I'm certainly not the best accountant, and I gig frequently. So I guess that's not me.

I'm just curious what someone has to do to actually get 86'd from Talkbass! I saw a post where someone said Jeff Berlin was banned. I know he's an opinionated guy but banned?

Sexism will get you places. Not in good places, but it'll get you places.

Almost got banned once, so I will saying pissing contest with moderators.
Me calling a bass ugly was wrong but yet posting pics of boobs hanging out, camel toes, and basically borderline soft porn was acceptable.

Moose Knuckles will certainly get you banned.

I'm going to go one further and insinuate that Class D amps are garbage AND Behringer is good equipment!!

I didn't know what that was, so I nearly went to Google Images. However, I learned a life lesson after looking up "b***r" back in 6th grade. UD is much easier on the eyes, but still rough on the imagination.

That's one of them terms that can be defined lots of ways. Some consider you sexist if you imply that men and women are put together out of different parts - I personally like those different parts .

"What's wrong with being sexy??" "...IST! It's Sex-IST!

Several days ago I saw a guys account get banned because he created a ridiculous troll post about how he was a prodigy bassist at 11 years old. I think his account was only a few hours old.

He was not the bassist for Prodigy. Too young.
