    Permanently banned from Windows for complaining to the mod for not enforcing the rule he brought in to stop people from pimping Phoenix ( now called Firefox ). I was the main pimp for Phoenix and so he brough in this rule saying if people had problems with IE ( or any other piece of software ) that you could not suggest alternatives to them; I used to push Phoenix to people with IE problems ( bugs, adware, spyware ) and that annoyed some people. He brought in this rule to stop my constant promotion. When someone suggested Phoenix in an IE thread I pointed out that he was breaking the new rule and I got into an argument with the Windows mod and got banned - forever. It's great to seeing everyone on Boards using/promoting Firefox nowadays :D I also appear to be permanently banned from games ( the ENTIRE games section - about 20 forums ) for saying I was downloading Doom III from the net and mentioning the name of the group who I was getting it from ( not linking just saying their name ).

    I expect to be banned from all of Boards in a little over a year at this rate. I may be able to post in the Battlestar Galactica forum :rolleyes:

    if i can log out and browse and still post as unregistered then whats the point of being banned?

    Shall I keep you banned indefinately if you don't think there's any point in being banned?

    well no, you could always answer the question.. but if it makes you feel important to ban someone then by all means go ahead..

    You can post on PI as a guest right? So yeh being banned seems pointless unless you want to give advice and you're vain enough to want credit for it

    I think I was banned from politics for being abusive. Which makes me wonder why I haven't been banned from anywhere else.

    I was banned from the games board for a few months. I jokingly described a friend as being the Irish Stephen Glass. He wasnt happy, so when he became a mod a few days later and he decided to ban me.

    I was banned from Humour for dead baby jokes, I forgot to read the charter which specifically forbids dead baby jokes. D'oh. I dunno why they're still forbidden, dead baby jokes are fúcking hilarious.

    Also Green Issues and After Hours.

    Web Hosting and Humanities. Mentally defective mods.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,144 ✭✭✭samo

    I can't remember it was ages ago. Could have been the burst armbands series. Always a classic.

    Samo - was never banned from PI but I believe I've come quite close. In my sillier moments.
