Valid reasons you were banned from Websites? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice Johnson · 03-31-2023, 03:03 AM

I was banned from a certain Website for asking Posters to name their Favorite Posters. I meant for this to be a praise thread. It was deleted within an hour and I got the message saying something like,"You have been banned. Date Ban will be lifted. Never." I can see how this "Praise thread," could have potentially got really bad, really quickly. That Thread deserved to be deleted but I feel I deserved a warning, not a permanent banning especially since I wasn't a huge problem Posters. I just had an ill thought out thread that happened to get me permanently nuked.

It's kinda funny. If the site admins want to get tasked with writing all the board's content, far be it from me to say they can't or shouldn't.

More realistically, they have to put up with us so that we can spare them that chore by contributing content.
\Looking back, I really can't recall getting banned anyplace unless the admins had already worn out my patience with their petty squabbling, and I just decided to humor them on my way out the door.

Is this the Straight Dope? www.straightdope.com? Because I got that message myself.

I banned opus earlier today for flooding and spamming the board with all his Valerie Bertinelli threads. It seemed like a perfectly valid reason to me.

That was a good April Fools joke.

You and Opus pulled off a VERY convincing April Fools joke!

Many Posters, myself included fell for it and begged you to unban Opus!
