How does someone get BANNED from TB??

[sissy kathy]

I was wondering how Jauqo 3 got banned.

You're not gonna find out here; if you're really that curious PM him/her.

Starting another "What's the best bass for metal" thread and being serious about wanting to know is an instant ban hammer.

 

[D M C]

Bananable offense.

 

[Eric Swaim]

After further thought, I guess if you mentioned anything positive about the Tennessee Titans 3-13 season you might get kicked off Talk Bass. However as a concellation prize they do get the first pick in the 2016 draft (and possibly 2017 & 2018 draft).

 

[Lowness]

Yet you have only been absent of any length of time between 1 Sep 15 - 3 Oct 15

Huh?

 

[arbiterusa]

I for one have watched forum after forum get destroyed by politics. Glad that TB has the policy that they have and that it is enforced vigorously.

I think Nickleback are a damn fine band.

Next to get the Ban Hammer right here. Just wait until a mod sees this.

 

[Lowness]

Is there an appeals process?

No, it is an internet forum.

Can one be banned for proclaiming moderators may have engaged in congress with other moderators? For shame...

 

[Gazman]

If you buy 4 or 5 basses, 16 pedals and a Tone Hammer from the classifieds, using a secret account your wife didn't know about, and one day she sees them all hidden down stairs in the dusty cupboard, and realizes what's been going on...

She will ban you.

 

[bholder]

Try, try again. Just like how one gets to Carnegie Hall - practice!

Jamerson was a hack?

The electric bass is really a guitar.

The electric bass is really a guitar.

Of course. That's why all bass players are just failed guitarists.

No, it is an internet forum.

Lowness, you are wrong at best, deliberately misrepresenting at worst.

QFT. I have had a warning reversed before as I recall.

 

[Pacman]

I got a Warning because a comment was missunderstood ..? Then clarified with the op , and all was good . Copy/pasted those chats , but the warning still stands ..?!!? Sometimes folks get things wrong, yet refuse to correct their errors ..!? But , we need to watch our behavior .. cool

You called someone a d***head. How do you think that was misunderstood?

I normally don't discuss warnings with other members, but since you dragged this out into the public, I'll answer it here. Your post broke the forum rules, plain and simple. The warning (a zero point warning, btw) stands because it is against the rules to which you agreed when you signed up. That is all.

Man, don't do that to me. I thought you had just closed the thread.

Heck, I got dinged for just using that word - he shoulda got the chair for directing it at a fellow user LOL.

So, what's the best electric chair for metal?

Oh, and not asterisking the "d" out (and maybe the rest of the word?) is a violation too
