Ever been banned from a forum?

[lampshade]

I'm about to be banned from a forum I sometimes use , turns out it's not for use by members of the general public only for Trade Union rep's and not members.

The guy who is going to ban me has been really nice about it I must say. lmao

Hi John,

I'm one of the moderators for unionreps.org.uk, and I noticed your post on the
bulletin boards. Unfortunately our site is limited only to discussions for union
representatives, and not for the general public.

I've suspended your account to the site for the time being. If you actually are
a GMB rep at Anglian, please could you let me have your correct membership
number? I can then update your profile for you and reactivate it. Otherwise,
I'll have to delete it, sorry.

Please accept my apologies if you are a union rep - I'll reinstate your account
when we can check against the number.

For your info, I'm attaching a reply to your question below from another
community member, which looks pretty spot-on and should give you some pointers
on where you can get more information. You might also find our public site
www.worksmart.org.uk useful for employment law questions.

So have any of you lot been banned from a forum and what for?

[ABCMan]

i think so, not sure

i used to be admin on another forum www.kickass-online.co.uk but whilst i was between houses and unable to use the net i went to a net cafe to post here and whilst i was doing that i also went to check in there too but found my account had been deleted or at least disabled so i couldnt log in.

i've no idea if i was banned or if it was just a cock up but i have checked a few times since and not got back in so i figure i'll leave it as i've no intent on breaking the rules and signing up again.

banned off messiahworld forums , wrongly i mite add, i kept posting info they didnt like, i later ended up an op of the IRC chan so cant have been that bad.

was also banned from a t100 forum, t100world or somethin, i disagreed with admin and was instantly banned, a right cock he was aswell, Wolfman or somethin like that, tottaly in love with himself

been a good boy on here, give or take :whistle

I got banned from Modshack in the early days for arguing with a mod about fukin Concorde, I told him he was a cock for thinking it was great, and look at me now.............

[/dev/null]

I got banned from a forum once for suggesting that someone should not buy a piece of software as it was freely available on the net!
The guy sent me an e-mail saying "we don't condone piracy etc" and basically asking me to suck up to them by apologising etc before they would re-instate the account...

So - I just told em to **** off and carried on my way!

actually you'll all be suprised to know that I have never been banned from a forum.

tho i come close everyday on DF

[the_wizzard]

i was banned off the shack cos some dick with nearly the same name as me slagged it off on some other forum. been banned off dudez lot's of time's for arguing with some of the nob's on there and of course it ain't hard to get banned off toe's either (you only have to not agree with him) :tongue

[TwoPlAnKs]

got banned once here, couldnt read the forum atall so i signed up to read my banning message

then i got banned again under my new account and got my old one extended, i pointed this out after i got back on the forum and they made it so banned members can read and not post

then i got banned and could read everything, including mod sections so i went into irc and told them

and they fixed it, without stopping my ban despite my incredible helpfulness :grr:

i also got my post count dropped a few times back in the day and mucho negative karma, which is now hopefully disapearing (and that was not an invitation to get it done again)

also my name got changed to twoplanks from twosheds
