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

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:

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

D!ve^Bomb! · 16-11-2004 09:38PM

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

I was banned from Humour a few years back, for what was considered a insensitive joke. PC gone mad I tells ya.

presumably that you cannot post.

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.

Never been banned but have been responsible for quite a few bannings

DapperGent · 17-11-2004 01:31AM

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.

dahamsta · 17-11-2004 01:32AM

Web Hosting and Humanities. Mentally defective mods.

samo · 17-11-2004 01:38AM

DapperGent · 17-11-2004 01:53AM

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.

billy the squid · 17-11-2004 03:18AM
