Why was I banned?

[einhander]

This is einhander619, apparently my other account was disabled somehow. Who did this, and why? That's a fine way to treat someone who tries to be an ambassador for this site, mags, and AGD in general everytime I gas up my RT. I'm a little upset about this, and would like an explanation.

I was banned by accident because of how AOL reroutes the IP or w/e, and I got hold of RobAGD, and he fixed it right away.

Heres what I suggest-

Send an email to the mods and ASK THEM why. DUH! You are probably just getting yourself in MORE TROUBLE by getting another account idiot! thats like getting thrown out of a bar... and hten go back in and start talking again! you just don't do it! (unless your really, really drunk).

We haev seen this happen here lately with people who get banned, come back, make a big scene, cause more touble, get banned, etc etc. In my honest opinion... these people are ANNOYING AS HELL and very immature. So I suggest that you talk to the mods. If you are absolutely sure you did not do anything wrong, what probably happened is that someone with your current IP got banned.. and your IP got changed to it (happens with AOL customers sometimes). I belive that is what happens. So just ASK the mods... don't go and humiliate yourself on the boards. It is just annoying and makes you look like an asshat. Sorry but it's true.

Shartley, just wondering but how are we supposed to email the admin to ask them. I have posted on AO for awhile and have never had trouble with being banned or accidently being banned so i wouldnt know who to conntact. Maybe the email that tells u that u've been banned says who to contact about questions, or is there even an email?? The only way i know how to contact a mod would be by using the email button in their profile but to do that you would need a functioning account name, thus you would need to create a new account. Maybe I missed something but i think that i am gennerally knowledgeable on things that go on at AO

Wow, is everybody done hosing down the deck with testosterone? Nutz is right. I created this account so I could get ahold of the right people, and because I don't like not being able to communicate with my fellow 'maggers. You don't know my situation, and frankly, I don't feel like explaining myself. Vegeta could be right, I could be plastered as I type this. I am in college, after all!

When you get banned you loose all visibility to the forums. When I was banned I had no idea was going on.

Since you called yourself an "Ambassador for this site", I will show you why:

Whenever someone bashes my RT, I smile and politely challenge them to a 1 on 1. Sometimes I lose, sometimes I win. Sometimes I bunker the *EDIT* This was a blatant circumvention of the cuss filter. You have earned a 3 day ban. Army Usually I leave the field with a little more respect than I walked on with, though. One key to never getting bashed is to never bash. Cockers are still outdated and pointless, though.

You edited the "F" word so as to be easily discernable by anyone with 1/2 a brain, and to defeat the filter. That is not only a rule violation, and you know it, but it was simply not needed in the post.

Should you, in the future, feel the need to use crude language, please go to PBC or PBReview where they, seemingly, accept poor behavior.

Your membership will be reinstated soon, please contact the Webmaster to have this account deleted.

Alright well i take back what i said about the emails not being any where. I found them in the meet the modertators section of AO. I was thinking about where emails could be found so i went there. However not many people would know to look there and just want to make a new account. I think the emails of moderators need to be in a more noticeable place. Another suggestion i just thought of could be a new forum added to AO like a site help and complaints forum. Just a suggestion but i think it would clean up much of the main forum and make important info easily accesable to people who are new and need some help

[Jonno06]

so......he said a cuss word??

[Cliffio]

he overran the cuss filter, violating one of the websites rules, instant ban

*EDIT* Circumventing the cuss filters to explain cussing is just plain stupid. Army
