Poll: Let us remember The Banned...

[Vault101]

While I don't understand how his ultimate posts got him banned, I shall remember Karutomaru for his opinions like Capcom being the best developer, and that gaming is dying because of lack of Wii core game support. And the fact that in almost every thread he commented in, he would respond to everyone's answers he disagreed with, just to say that they're wrong.
.

actually he just plain ignored me after a while...because I was being logical and he was being crazy

 

[Rastien]

and i have a good chuckle in their suffering.

I wouldn't call it "suffering"

its like your trying to make out there's more "suffering" than there is and thats...concerning

Concerning how ^^? most comedy is at someone elses expense in some shape or form?

I would consider being banned and dis allowed to post in a group is a form of exclusion and no one likes being excluded and there for suffers?

 

[Gigano]

Hmm, not surprised to see a fair few mourning R&P regulars here.

Only ones I recall being sad to see go are @Khell_Sennet and @Pirate Kitty. Everyone else I like/respect still seem to be around, or have left of their own accord.

 

[Talaris]

A lot of these thread links to example posts when people get banned are very amusing.

Well, I'll remember [user]Mortai Gravesend[/user]. They even removed his profile.

Why did they do that? Is it possible that Mortai Gravesend erased his own profile, if that's even possible?

You can't remove your own profile, only the staff can do that.

Though I'm not entirely sure why it happens to some banned people, but not others.

The infamous [user]MaxTheReaper[/user] has an inaccessible profile, so does HG131 which JoJo linked above.


More OT: [user]Regnes[/user], who made some interesting posts.

Oh man that post from Regnes is comedy gold! I can't tell if he's just trolling or if hes one crazy dude.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Not really. I don't really speak to people here and the ones I do miss generally just stopped posting over time. Of those that are banned there are few that posted enough for me to know and that I found likable people. Most of the banned ones were the type to post more controversial things which annoyed me more often than not.

 

[Stoic raptor]

There has been quite a few of The Banned. I actually would not have remembered most of them if it wasn't for this thread. I was lurking on this site for almost a year before I joined it, and it certainly does feel different than it did before.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

Huh, Boudica got banned? But she was one of my favourite people to yell at.

Oh well. So many people banned, yet I somehow survive. LIVIN ON THE EDGE

Boudica didn't get banned in the fiery fashion that most others do. She actually went to the mod group and requested that her account be banned. It was her choice.

OT: I miss Boudica, Mortai Gravesend, and Sean Hollyman, the others just had an.... interesting run.

 

[VeryOddGamer]

Boudica was banned? I never even noticed.

Generally I don't really care if someone gets banned, since I don't really know anyone all that well here.

I'm so lonely.

*sniff*

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Wow, I don't think a single post of mine has been quoted that many times for ages. Also if we're mentioning users who just quit in a huff, I would like to mention [user]BonsaiK[/user]. One of the most insightful users ever [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.216487],[footnote]He's also famous for a Relationship Advice Thread, but he asked for that to be deleted after the Advice Forum came about.[/footnote] which makes it even more of a shame that he decided to be so public and vocal about his departure instead of going out quietly.

I will, however, offer a single gold dubloon to anyone who can guess the banned user who had this avatar [http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/132/132187.gif].

It's Avykins, lord of trolls! Whose troll-hide deflected many a well-deserved ban-hammer for a year longer than anyone acting like him would have.
Give me my dubloon.

Spoiler: Here you go, good sir!

Commiserations to you guys. Also, some clarifications:

[ul][li]Pimp is still around, he's just not very active. I think he still holds the record for most permabans though (4 bans, though one was an April Fool's joke and another was at his request).[/li]

[li]Neonbob wasn't first to 10k (that was either Indigo_Dingo or MoonPenguin), though he was probably first to 20k.[/li]

[li]Hubilub requested a ban, then came back, and then got banned for other reasons.[/li][/ul]

[QUOTE=Sacman]Snip[/QUOTE]

Max was a guy. The picture was of his friend if I remember correctly and he decided to mess around with the gender on his profile to confuse people.

[hr]

See, this is why [user]Sevre[/user] and [user]DigitalSushi[/user] used to have a joke about me having a massive archive on the history of the forums.

Was Pimp part of that April Fool mass banning by (I think) Kuliani? Heh, memories.

Also, ah, fair enough. I remember NeonBob gaining fame because of his rapid post count accumulation, but I must be misremembering his achieving 20K as the first 10K. Thanks for clearing that up

You clearly do have a massive site history archive hidden away in your head. Awesome stuff

 

[Hjalmar Fryklund]

Two fellows come to mind, @DrVornoff and @TestECull

Also, I almost forgot, I do really miss @Kahunaburger sometimes. He hasn't been banned though, he just left. Maybe he will be back one day.

ban jumping?

what is that like getting banned and then creating a new account? Or creating a duplicate account for the express purpose of trolling?

The former. Or alternatively, using another account while on suspension.

The "Health Bar Abuse" I mentioned above in relation to @Wolverine18 is an example of people creating duplicate accounts to dodge being banned by spreading out the number of warnings they receive over multiple accounts.

---

A second reason avoiding detection isn't easy for some people is that their posting styles and subjects of interest become familiar to others after a while so it's easier for folks to detect more...intense and...unique (?) individuals.

If I recall correctly, @Wolverine18 (and @Kendarik, the other account) was actually banjumping too. I believe it was implied in the mod chat they both were made by the user known formely as @ravensheart18

 

[Roxas1359]

- this was back in 2009, before User Groups and even counts of like 2500, 3000 and 5000 were massive milestones, unless you were NeonBob

NeonBob is another Poster I've heard of. Whatever happened to him/her?

[HEADING=2]Something like this?[/HEADING]

Bob has a wife and actually has a kid on the way so he doesn't post much anymore. He still has a completely clean record too.

OT: I don't speak ill of the dead but some users didn't choose to fix themselves and their constant rule breaking is what caused them to get banned. I really can't say that there are people I miss who were banned off the top of my head. There were some who I actually gave a sigh of relief for because that meant less drama, but that's all I'll say on the matter.

When I started posting here I used to think he was really clever. He had that music industry thread too, didn't he?
I wondered what had happened to him. Why did he leave?

 

[Dangit2019]

Boudica seemed to have showed up out of nowhere, and I think she got to 2000 posts in a matter of about 2 months before she was banned. That was...interesting.

 

[ecoho]

I rarely post. Normally I lurk. I care only for myself and dance on the graves of the dead, laughing.

Who was Zeel? And MaxtheReaper sounds similar to Daystar Clarion. Were they just forum celebrities and did they get banned in some spectacular manners?

zeel was a bit insane he has a blog called zeel's empire and he basicly went around trolling people for kicks, personally think he should have been banned alot earlier (i think some of his posts are still up if you look for them)

 

[Something Amyss]

Okay, I'll be frank.

Hi, Frank, can I be Margaret?

Well, I'll remember [user]Mortai Gravesend[/user]. They even removed his profile.

Also [user]Karutomaru[/user], and his craaazy threads.

I miss Mortai. I think the only reason his profile got removed was ban jumping, though, so it's not like they were just mean.

 

[Mr Fixit]

A few will be missed mostly because they were, as others have said, "interesting". I try to not live in the past though.

Raise a mug to fallen friends then piss on the graves of fallen enemies & then move on with life.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Let's see:

Maxthereaper
Hubilub
Furburt
DementedTeddy

That's all I remember right now. Not sure if SnootyEnglishman got banned, but I don't see him much. Same with NeonBob, but I know he wasn't banned.

And wow, I feel old.

 

[M920CAIN]

You guys do realize you can just make a different account if you are banned right? I don't think there's such thing as a permanent ban, unless the banned person is DEAD. Only in death are we permanently banned.
