Dingo was kind of a dick.

The one I will mourn if they manage to get banned is Max. I would miss him if that happened.

TheNecroswanson always struck me as a cool dude who doesn't afraid of anything.

A few others as well who nobody but me any maybe two other people would remember.
Hmmm, yes, I have to agree with that. I only saw one post from Necro that I disagreed with, and that was the one that got him banned. Otherwise, I didn't have a problem with him.

Overall, people here who I've seen banned did do something repeatedly to cause their banning. However, a few, they know who they are (a 'trinity', if you will) are still here, although one of them was banned a long time ago, and I don't see how they've stayed here so long. I'm sure some of the other more well known and ancient Escapists will know who I mean.

I've also heard people go on occasionally about how Darth Mobius didn't deserve the Hammer, but to be honest after seeing some of his posts on the Forum Games and RP threads I'm not surprised he was banned. He did make some very well informed threads and was quite well liked here, but sometimes he could be a bit of a douche. Not too sure why Darth Empyrean was banned too, though...

The only notable people I can think of who were banned were Dingo and Necro, and they were both kind of jerks.
Wait, Dingo was banned? When was this? The only thing I didn't like about him was his ongoing PS3 fanboyism, but otherwise I quite liked him and he seemed alright. Necro, too, was someone I often aggreed with, although admittedly he could occasionally be a bit of a jerk (but then, so can many other people here, who I won't mention names of). With Necro's last thread he did expose quite a lot of hypocrisy among fellow Escapists and that wasn't a bad thing, by any means. I personally don't see why he should have been banned for it. Generally, I agree with the mod's decisions because most of the time they are definitely on the ball. With Necro, however, I can't really say I agree with the Hammer useage.

how else CAN you get banned?
well, i think that there was some idiot who recently got banned for swearing at the moderators via pm.
....why..........................
Assuming that's a real question I am under the impression they were given a warning via PM for a post, and were too thick to realise that it was a mod and so started getting mouthy.

they made a bad thread, and got angry when the moderators locked it i think.

Edit: beaten to it...

I got put on probation for calling you all "mindless idiots". Where's my sympathy?

I feel you are in the minority - egotistical narcissistic jerkasses are a dime a dozen.

Though it's rare that they act the same in real life as they do on the webs.
That's why I'm special - I am committed to bringing you the utmost in jerkishness.
Customer service, motherfuckers.
Hmmm, I'd probably miss you too if you got banned. There are several people here who I quite like, Cpt. Oblivious, Sky14kemea and Geek@heart included, who I'd probably miss if they were banned. Fortunately none of those people seem the sort who'll be banned anytime soon...

i'm pretty glad that most of those "regulars" were banned. it proves the point that even though you're well liked, if you act like an idiot, you ARE going down. i can think of a few others that are also deserving of mod's wrath...

Any names? If it's who I think it is, then I can honestly say I agree (such as the 'Trinity', as I mentioned in an earlier post...). Nobody is above the wrath of the mods, no matter how many posts they have. Some seem to think that they're immune to the Hammer just because they have a lot of posts. As I recently found via a PM warning, that's not true. Nobody is immune. Simple as that.

Slightly off-topic, I heard recently someone was put on probation because they asked for it. They actually requested probation. Did anyone else hear anything about that?
