    Could one of the smods or admins ban me please?

    I have enjoyed using this site over the last couple of years but now I am getting too busy to use it.

    cheers and best of luck with it all :)

    It should be "Can I be banned?", just to save confusion. I thought you were asking whether it was possible that you could have been banned. I'm going to get my hat and coat, and then you won't have to worry too much about me anymore. Good luck Zaph0d.

    Do something mad like abuse the mods, go out in a blaze of glory.


    And if you see some people in the real world can you pass a note to my mother to tell her I'm still alive

    Why don't you just, you know... Not come here any more? And you know something else? It might be something you could regret somewhere down the line, when you're not so busy.

    Because that's not a statement.

    Possible discovery of Masochism?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix


    This happened before...I can't remember if they banned the guy.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 7,396 Mod ✭✭✭✭**Timbuk2**

    Maybe one of his mates is trying to wind him up :V

    Maybe, just don't log in anymore, Zaph0d.

    Or type some random letters into a text file and copy/paste it as your new password.

    Zaph0d banned from 24 and eurosat.

    Its a start.

    What a selfish request. There are children in Africa without boards.ie accounts.

    Shouldn't it be "may I be banned?"?

    "Could I be banned, please?" would also remove some of the ambiguity.


    I for one would like to dissociate myself from any such moves to ban this user for fear of any confusion over the name. And I'm sure Zapho, Zaphod, Zaphod B, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Zaphod! and zaphod42 are all with me on this. God, I feel so common now!

    That would be closer to the person who told me she had fantasies about being banned by an angry moderator.

    Maybe she really did, maybe it was a troll, either way I site-banned her for a day.

    You may regret it later, just don't log in or get somebody to change your password to something you don't know. :)
    (Sell your account. ;) )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    PM me your password. I will have you site banned in no more than 15 minutes.

    I believe they call it humour. When someone makes the humour, others laugh. Don't be worried. It's a natural thing. You'll get used to it and will even enjoy it after a while.

    Is there a chance that someone has logged in as Zaph0d, maybe a friend in an attempt to have Zaph0d banned, in my eyes this seems very suspect.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 7,396 Mod ✭✭✭✭**Timbuk2**


    Uh oh, I smell hax0rs :)

    And it looks like he is already banned

    I was going to say this, as it does feel very suspect.

    I see Banned, Smods taking a precaution just incase?

    Also Beth, have mercy on me.....pleeease.

    Bit quick off the mark banning him tbh.

    As been said, could have been a friend on the computer acting the clown.

    Just because a guy asks for a ban is no reason to do so without a valid reason.

    Since he was banned for asking to be banned, asking to be unbanned in Prison would suffice to get me to lift it.

    If the account is being used by someone other than the person it belongs to then I'd rather it remained banned until they get it sorted and change the password.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    If you're having a desertion moment, and this is on the assumption that you're so addicted to boards you cannot actually deny yourself access to it, if you ask one of the admins really nicely, they may change your password so that you can no longer log in.

    Then, six months later when you come skulking back like the lowly dog you are, you can just use the "forgot my password" setting to get your account back...

    This is speaking as someone in the know... (woof)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,558 ✭✭✭netwhizkid


    Didn't this happen last year too IIRC didn't some 16yr old ask to be banned for 3 or 4 months so he could study for and sit his Junior Certificate exams.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,314 ✭✭✭Talliesin


    Yep, it's happened a few times.
