I am curious by nature, and it's usually amusing as well, so I always look.

Yes, always. Purely out of curiosity.

On that note, when I was put on probation during MM, I wonder how many people clicked to see what I was on probation for?
Of course. Especially as you are a frequent (and normally well behaved) member. I am always that much more curious if this is the case.

The fun part is that when I click a post that someone was mod'd for, I have about 3 seconds to take a screenshot before my internet decides I've had enough and gives me a 404.

On the topic of 404s... I still don't know what Max was banned for because that thread was deleted.

Either being rude/insulting or baiting the mods (wanting to get banned). I can't remember which.

Most of the time to make sure what not to do.

Oh by the way my latest probation was for telling the mods that their news post was beaten by the forum. I normally wouldn't except by the time they reported on it it was already a 13 page topic.
Yeah I should PM a mod but I didn't. My bad.
The mods, and myself aren't too fond of people doing that. I mean what are they going to do? Not post the story? Imagine if CNN didn't report on a major story because the BBC got it first.

Yeah, I get pretty curious. Most of the time I'm like 'Why did this guy get suspended for that, it's like super tame' but now I've taken the temperature of the community I wont make the same mistakes. As long as I stay away from the religion/politics board and don't swear I should be fine :p

I know everyone has their slip ups or misjudgments and posts something they probably shouldn't have but does anyone else look at most if not all of the ones they come across? I know human curiosity is pretty powerful, but I was wondering if anyone couldn't care less what lies under that little link. I personally check out most of them 1) because I'm just curious what the people did to incur wrath and 2) I try and make sure that I do not replicate any such posts

Just you know I may an identical thread to this a while back and it got locked.

But the consensus was yes, we do read them.

I immediately go to one with more than 1000 posts. I'm always curious when a veteran of hte forum gets banned.

In case that doesn't show up well enough, click here. [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/MaxTheReaperbannedpost.jpg]​

That.

Anyhow, yes, I always click on them, most likely even if I've seen them before. I also screen-cap the ban posts of certain members (as shown above) if the thread they were made in gets locked, because it annoys me when a 404 error comes up. 403 is just as annoying, but there's not much I can do about that one.

Merci beaucoup, mon ami.

Hmmm... witty to the end, I see.

I click on all the posts which have caused the poster to be suspended whatever whenever I come across them in a thread. I'm always curious for the 2 reasons you mentioned.

I wouldn't usually click on a link to another topic to see why some was suspended/put on probation... The few seconds wait usually isn't worth it... Unless its a regular or one of the few people I have added as friends.

Pretty much every time. It bugs me when I get 404'd (Not found) or 403'd(Forbidden). I'm getting denied a guilty pleasure! Oh well. Yes, I do it so that I don't copy them by accident. Making a mental note every single time.
