Pistonheads literally 5 minutes after making an account. Made a single post asking a question on brake pads (completely innocent), got banned with no reason given lol
Didnt bother with the site after that.
Not that you can actually perm ban someone from a public forum. They can simply make a new account.
Ha this group is renowned for banning people. I am in a spin off group that is formed from a large percentage of these banned members. A much friendlier bunch for sure!I got banned from a facebook group called Grumpy Expats. It's a huge group full of expats, which is pretty funny about people grumping about things in their host country and you have to respect people's grumps, as it's a place to just vent. I don't know what offence I caused to get banned, but got kicked out and not allowed back inprobably argued with someone, but I asked by messaging admins and they never explained. Hey ho!
A photography forum where I unknowingly upset the admin/site owner. Out of the blue one day I found myself permabanned and an email from him saying I had been getting on his nerves for months and months and he should have perhaps said something earlier but the final straw was when I took a photo of him when he was teaching a group of photographers and posted his picture on the forum with the phrase "Funny who you bump into when you have travelled 60 miles to middle to nowhere!". It was literally a total coincidence that I bumped into him and his group that day.
Decided to not even bother replying as clearly he was unhinged.
You have been permanently banned.
Reason: it would appear that you're set on ruining everything for yourself and others in the process, so be it.
making snarky little quips like that would prove otherwise it would seem, as from my example alone it shows you don't have to be infantile to get banned if some jumped up power-tripping mod takes the hump w/ you.No, I'm a grown up.
Exactly. Loads of people got banned from here then let back a good while after. I think Everyone that posted in 1 thread, i don't even remember tbh. It was quite bizarre. Major power trip.making snarky little quips like that would prove otherwise it would seem, as from my example alone it shows you don't have to be infantile to get banned if some jumped up power-tripping mod takes the hump w/ you.
