Same here. Nearly 4200 posts without being so much as probated, and I don't think you can get banned for a first offense unless you severely fuck up.
High-five for the goody two-shoes club!
Not goody two-shoes, badge whore. I want that damn Neo badge.

This thread was made a few days ago.

And most of the time when people make new accounts they are just banned again. A ban means you aren't wanted or welcome here, it doesn't mean go make a new account.

If it were not a legitimate ban, I would contact some admins or something.

If I had been doing things to justify the ban, then I would probably qualify as an ***hole and would come back to troll.

I'd probably just leave quietly without a big fuss. Unless I didn't do anything, then I'd debate it with the admins.

If I done, something wrong, I would just leave peacefully, but if I was banned at random, without any warning, I would contact someone at The Escapist to find out why, and to see if I can get it re-activated if it was an accident

Ok I would think about what I did. Try to appeal if I think it's possible. If I don't get appealed I would have angry thoughts of Ripping the *blocked*! Then I would be angry for about two months. Then I would go back to the other s***ty forums that I'm still members with. After a while I'll get over it hoping it won't effect my chance of getting a job. Then i will find other great websites and try not to get banned from that one.

Well I've been bouncing around between sites for a while. I have only been banned TWICE and both were due to the people in charge being jerks. I do come accross pretty strong, but there are lines I will not cross. People do occasionally tend to get scared when I call them on something they don't want outed however. Details unnessicary.

I guess it all depends on the situation. I'd probably just move on. I'm not beyond trolling for a purpose, but if it just ruins a site for other people that have nothing to do with me, then there is no real point.

As far as sneaking back on chances are if things turned out that way I had differances with site management that went beyond agreeing to disagree.

The only time I've been "warned" in the last couple of years was actually on Gamefaqs when I posted a message pointing out the sheer absurdity of screaming racism when it comes to video games (this having to do with RE 5 specifically, but on the tail of racial outcry from people trying to get attention on half a dozen other games which is why I bothered since I was getting sick of it). On a positive note since I pulled that I have not run into this on any game forums for new game I've been following since.

However, I will go so far as to say that one of the reasons why I am anti-censorship is because even when it comes to private forums I do not think that the owners should have the abillity to control publically viewable information as long as it's on subject. There is a lot more to this than personal experience however, as I honestly think that freedom of speech and such needs to be extended to private platforms as opposed to simply preventing the goverment from censoring speech, because we are currently in a day and age in which nearly every platform is privatly owned, and govermental/political groups have ways of leveraging private groups to censor for them without needing to engage in direct legislation.

That is going pretty far afield from the subject though.

It crossed my mind when I was flicking through channels. *flick, flick* then all I hear is BAN!

What would you do? Leave peacefully and never come back? Make a new account? Contact the people who run the escapist? Make a new account and TROLL? Please share.

You would just leave peacefull, assuming you had a brain. That or make a new account and be on your best behavior, but I doubt that.
You cannot make another account, multiple accounts are not permitted and will earn you and IP ban. What I would do is first appeal to the admins, then if I couldn't get unbanned I would simply leave quietly. Simple as that.

Ohhh, well I've never been banned, so I wouldn't know ;)

So I would probably just do this

I'd appeal to the mods, and then failing that, get on another computer and create another account. I like these message boards, thank you very much.

I wanna be in that club, which is why I'm careful with what I post. Only a few hundred posts until I get the Morpheus badge! (Mods, please do not put me on probation/suspend/ban me just to prevent me from getting the badge.)

...your account would be banned and you wouldn't be able to come back unless it were under a different IP address. I wouldn't bother coming back, I would just appreciate the free entertainment without commenting.

I think the cause-and-effect is fairly clear. Then again, that's just what I would do.
Don't most people nowadays have a dynamic IP address?

Woah! Looks like were going to have a live-fire demonstration of a ban on our hands here today, folks! Remember, bannings can be violent, so stand back, put your safety goggles on and keep all arms and legs inside the internet.

If I got banned, I'd probably deserved it.
Out of blind hope I'd appeal my ban to the admins.

If that didn't work, I would stay around, I just wouldn't be able to put my input in anywhere.
