How do you know if you've been banned? How do you know if you've been unbanned?


You get a private message across the top of your page along with a link to reply and attempt to get yourself reinstated. I have been banned one time. It was 2 months, for starting an LSU troll thread that included pictures of mostly neked girls. I was really playing with fire that night.

Kafka, Owlie, Killz, etc. They are provocative, but they grow old quickly. (I like them all, by the way). They are constantly banned over minor stupid shite. This is a strategy to keep them fresh and maximize traffic pertaining to them. Their bannings aren't personal.



So what you're saying is the admins are performing mind control on the most interesting posters in order to force our progression. Banishment makes posters like Kafka, Owlie, and myself contemplate new ways to be provocative while toeing the line.

Interdasting.

Actually, I'd argue that I'm popular on the SECRant and incredibly unpopular on Tigerdroppings....which is strange.

Maybe it's all the St. Louis Cardinals threads I start on the More Sports Board.

Incorrect. There is definitely a line you can cross. I know because I've crossed it.

Also, each board has its own rules. For instance, it is relatively easier to get banned on the poli board. As another example, posting in the wrong GOT thread will get you banned on the Movie/TV board.

Your theory isn't bad, and they probably do look at traffic generation when making decisions. But my experience and other evidence suggests that's not the whole picture.

The entire draw of this site is user-generated content. You're the owner of the site out to attract and maintain users and make money off ads. You let the admins have free rein and ban people on whims and biases? There's no strategy whatsoever?


At this point, they don't need any one poster. The communities that represent this family of boards has grown every year I've been posting.

I'm pleading the fifth. Besides if I dig years back and find it, and you ban me, it won't disprove my theory.

I doxxed Fat Larry. No reason other than I didn't like him. It was a huge thread. He became a meme and everyone still bullies him. Other posters have done far less in terms of doxxing and gotten the banhammer

I've manipulated the censors to use banned words (like the n word), I've said jokes about Katrina and Les Miles wife not being a supermodel, I've defended lynchings and said all kinds of crazy racist things, I started a thread with "PORN-A-PALOOZA" in the title, I've spammed the board with tons of new threads and bumps to alter discussion.

And I got into a really heated argument with Ice Cold directly where I listed a lot of these things and more and demanded a fricking explanation from his bitch arse for why some people get banned for less and I don't, and I still didn't get banned.

I believe a post history review is in order to corroborate your claims. Please be patient.

Why are you acting this way? You know there are valid points made in this thread. Why do you favor rustled pussies who constantly RA because they are unoriginal hacks versus people who actually drive traffic with original and entertaining discussion?
