Have you been permanently banned from any forums?

Not banned from a forum but got a life time ban from a Bingo website,
i'd deposit £10 a day to gain entry to their free 'daily depositors' draw, then withdraw the £10 with any winnings the next day without wagering any of it, rinse and repeat,
probably made around £1500 over ~18 months before they found out and banned me :)

EDIT: just remembered i'm also banned from Quidco from too many click's on free cashback links,
i made hey while the sun shone on that one though so fair do's :D

Oh that reminds me I got banned from a video hosting site from someone who shall remain nameless they posted live video performances but removed them after a time iirc I used some software to download a permanent copy and they banned me straightaways - actually paid a subs for the darn thing as well. Could have done a chargeback I guess but oh well let the man have his money.

Sorry to go off topic, but burtie I sent you a conversation about your fanatec wheel last night (not sure how that works and if you would get a notification)
 
Social media is somewhat odd when you consider the nasty replies that people post yet if you like too many posts in 24hours you get banned...
 
I was banned from here for posting a Jesus "thanks for the info" pic, if I remember correctly. There was also an "effective ban" which has since been graciously overturned. I've been banned from 4chan more times than I can remember.

As for permanent bans? I can't think of any.

:eek: What did you do to get banned from that place? It's a complete cesspit and it seems like there aren't many rules!

It's actually not that hard, depending on what board you post on. For instance, if you start a topic on the technology board with a subject which the admins don't consider 'tech enough' they'll ban you, e.g. if you make a tech/politics post which is more political than technical they'll delete the topic and then ban you for 24 hours or so. The type of board you get banned from says a lot about the content that was worthy of said ban. Of course you can get banned for far worse than that, but it's all relative.
 
I got banned from here for slipping up on the mm rules a few times (whoopsie) thankfully it got overturned after asking politely.

The mm rules are very strict which is a good thing otherwise people would take the cake.

ITT 4chan is more than /b/?

Several times. But the best one was when I questioned the hypocrisy of decrying the Twitter Trump ban as an attack on free speech, while holding a zero tolerance policy for "commies" (not actual communists, but anyone who doesn't agree with the TDW worldview) on their own site. They banned me for the post :p
 
Reading that somebody got murdered has anybody on here ever been threatened with physical violence because of something said on forums?
I've had it 3 times where it has been quite scary but one of them lived very close to me and knew exactly where I lived and where I would be gigging because all the details were online.
He'd even say stuff like "Be careful Saturday night just as you're getting in your car to come home from The Gardeners Retreat so I had quite a period where I was continually looking over my shoulder.

How far back are you going on 4chan? When moot started it after being thrown out of SA or more recently? 2003 seems like a long time ago now.

I'm talking about over the years in general, I first found the place in 2006. But, like many forums [this one included], one never really leaves online communities, one just takes extended sabbaticals.

/b/ is utterly terrible now, it's just low-grade porn. There used to be a time when it was genuinely hilarious, original content; now it's just banal, vacuous idiocy [much like a lot of the rest of the place].

Is this a crossover with the HUKD thread?

4chan did have its time, I'd agree with that. Original content is debatable as most of the posters, including the owner, moot, were banned from SA and took a lot of their material from there but even SA is now in it's own hilarious yet depressing legal come-down so in summary, welp :(

e: not sure of how the mods are with us talking about other forums so I mean the above with a level of accuracy and respect.

I have noticed, since I came back to this place recently, that the mods don't act with anything like the level of tyranny that they used to. There seems to be much more respect for the users. It's a reflection of contemporary society in a way, inasmuch as workplaces and management styles these days emphasise treating employees like actual people rather than cogs in a machine.
