Anyone ever got....*dramatic pause* banned?

[JVM]

Have you ever been banned from a website? Fairly or unfairly?

I used to go to a site once, for a long, long time. After about a year, there were problems because several people began flaming each other. I often responded to the flames defending myself and other members. On a few occasions, I did flame myself, but only about twice. Anyway, I was banned last year. On the bright side, being banned and all really sort of taught me exactly how to act on the Internet, and I actually ended up coming out a much better person, I realize now. I was sort of sad at first, because the site had become, basically, my online home - it was the most active site I visited. But I learned to deal with it.

It was my second banning. The first time I was banned was an intended weekly ban. After a week-and-a-half I AIMed one of the Admins about it, and eventually got let back in, although the Admin told everyone I whined. This also happened once a while before when I uninentionally got another member banned. They insulted me and I didn't even retort before an Admin banned him. All of the members claimed I PMed the Admin and told him specifically and whined.

Oh well, I came out a better person in the end, and that's what matters.

[Violent VictiM]

I got banned on the old board because someone made fun of my dead friend, go figure. Apparently I was...what were the words? Oh yea, I was a poison. Straight nWo status.

I still think the board should have a flame section. If you got beef, bring it there. Unmoderated, unadulterated fine holiday fun. Well, moderated in case it got racist, but other than that why can't I express my hatred for youthoughtsomeonewashere.

[Cody]

I think the only time I've ever been banned from a message board was... on this board's great-grandpa, the starblvd version of the Fridaythe13thfilms forum.

And it's not an interesting story, it was just the goofiness of a 14 year old. For some reason, when people figured out that you could post images in starblvd posts, they became fascinated with the newfound ability and of course that immediately led to posting porn pictures. I was a regular under the name Cody, so when I played along and posted some nudies I used the user name ó¿ó. Taking ó¿ó as some random new guy just there to add to the porn, Blake banned me. Then I e-mailed him about it, explained myself/apologized/begged, and he unbanned me a couple days later.

[Dave Dunwoody]

Summer of '01, I started an alt account at F13Forum to harass a douche named Les Dixon. DedKid banned me in short order.

[Jason's Storm]

Nope, never have. When someone was trying to egg me on, I just bite my tougue and reported the douche. I did get warned sometimes, but now its in the past. Now I get to watch over everyone. o_O ;)
Summer of '01, I started an alt account at F13Forum to harass a douche named Les Dixon. DedKid banned me in short order. Didn't you get modded soon after that?

~JS

[Just Jeans]

On the previous forum, I was banned for about a day while I was still a member of staff. I can't remember why it happened. :X It's the only time in my many years on the internet that I've ever been banned, from any forum.

Les Dixon.

Les... Dixon... *head explodes, Scanners-style*

I'm surprised I managed to control myself enough not to get banned over that fuck head.

Hey Dave, remember when we hated each other? :sniffle: Good times.

[Jason's Storm]

I believe it was because you wanted wrestling discussion on the board and Blake didn't want it to be discussed.

~JS

[Just Jeans]

That's right, there was some big hubbub about wrestling threads because they were swamping the Part Cabin. Blake banned them, and I was pursuing restoring them pretty fiercely (despite being not much more than a casual fan). I was banned for about six hours so as to allow me to cool down.

[Dave Dunwoody]

Didn't you get modded soon after that?

~JS

Yep, they hauled me in off the streets and I became RoboCop

Hey Dave, remember when we hated each other? :sniffle: Good times.

Good times all arouund. :shy:

[Brett H.]

I was banned and warned from the original F13 chat more times than I can count. The bannings would all be for short periods (minutes, usually), though, and done by one or two certain people out of a grudge. I stopped visiting the place entirely for a couple years because I'd be banned for participating in convos with moderators where we spoke of the same subject with the same amount of distaste. I wasn't widely hated like certain people (I don't think), my problem was the fact that I happened to have a couple of the worst adversaries one could possibly have in the situation. Let's just say... God and Noah. Hah!

I was also banned from Horrordvds' chat. It's quite ironic though, 3/4 of those who banned (or had a part) me from the chat are now banned altogether, and yet I still kick without a single warning on their forum. To be fair, they had douchebags running the chat and no one actually involved with the site ever really went there. I did have an interesting argument with a mod of their forum in the chat who tried to convince me that the United States people unanimously went to war with Iraq to free the people (and not a single person wanted it because of WMD possibilities). After the convo (which I thought was civil...) the guy couldn't talk to me because of the differing of opinions, as though we just had a knife fight or something.

[Lance Lives]

Nah, I've kept a pretty low profile over the years, but I was pretty scared of it back on the old board for some reason...I don't guess I've ever even had a warning...does this mean I'm a good boy or something?

[JVM]

^ Yeah. Specifically, one of my biggest flamers was a member who was friends with most of the Administrators. He actually offered to give me his address so I could kick his ass if I could. He didn't believe me of course. He was one of the top five posters.

Ironically, one of the last things I said before I got banned was I mentioned how two of my three biggest friends on the site had both been banned recently (at the time). One was banned for spamming - and he had not spammed for nearly a year at that point - and another for flaming - same thing as me, responding to flames.

The very member I held a grudge against who caused pretty much all three of us to get banned, still prowls there as a normal member. The other member who often teased my two "friends" got banned though because he told the Admins to go to Hell. He was pretty much the focus on the second of my two unprovoked flames - I said he deserved it.

A week later I recieved an email with him sacrastically telling me I was "the big man" for making fun of him post-ban.

[Kane Lives]

I don't think I've ever been banned from any of the forums I've been on. I've made good use of the ignore feature on several of them. Had that not been there, I might have been banned. lol

[Alex DeLarge]

Les...

...Enfants Terribles?

I kid, I kid. :D

Dixon... *head explodes, Scanners-style*

Who is this Lex Dixon that would cause guys as nice as Jeans and Thac to hate?

[Notti]

I've never been banned from anywhere on the internet or outside the internet.

[Jigsaw]

I was never banned from the F13 board, but I did get back way back in 2001 on another board I frequented. Ugh, long story, and one I've tried very hard to forget and don't feel like speaking about :X

I also got banned on another board around that same time, it was during the Infopop board days of the community when a member there named EliasVoorhees was quite a troublemaker and had his own board. A staff member there banned me when his board got into a flame war of sorts with the old community and I told them to fuck off on his board (I was very immature at the time, I was about 13 or 14).

[DRE]

Never banned from anywhere, but I did get warning points on the old board because a certain mod (I will not name because he is here, though not in the same function) hates Kane Hodder with a passion and I told him it made him seem very bitter because of it (And that's all I said, and I got points for disrespecting a forum leader. Such abuse of power.) Anyways, they were cleared away by Thac, he too saw no just cause for those points.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Dave was the absolute BEST mod ever because he was fair, didn't use his status to prove points or show he was any better than anyone, he was still one of us. Many can learn a lesson from his legacy.

[TheShowstoppa]

I'm the good boy around here. I have never been warned or banned. Now I do the banning and warning! That's fun!!!! I think I've been kicked from chat a few times for saying something completely stupid. That was when I was... oh... 14 or 15. o_O I'm ... OLD!

[Darth Sinister]

I've never been banned intentionally. I have been accidently IP banned, because I used an AOL proxy. This was over on the Jedi Council Forums on TheForce.Net years ago. But never for starting shit.

Who is this Lex Dixon that would cause guys as nice as Jeans and Thac to hate?

Obi-wan: "Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...a long time."

Anyway, I've banned my share of people as a moderator. :D

[zach82]

I've been warned a few times, generally for minor slips of the tongue, but not banned anywhere that I can recall. I generally try to stay pretty neutral in most matters and avoid drama threads on any board.

[Hoody]

I once got booted from chat by Blake and Dedkid (they were taking turns kicking me for a bad joke) but never banned or suspended or put in time out. I've mostly kept a cool head since January 2002.

[Skye]

I've never been banned or warned either. Of course I just mostly lurked around the old board and spent most of my time in chat, but I've never done anything to get myself kicked. I try to respect everyone's opinion and if I don't agree with something I mostly keep it to myself. :)

[Jack Bauer]

I got closed to being banned at a wrestling board I use to hang at. Apparently I did something wrong during one of their RPGs and was left a mark of shame.

[JackTheRipper]

I was banned once, in July 2006, from a site I had practically lived on for then-2yrs. A long, convoluted story. Site politics bullshit. BUT I can say--happily--I was only banned because I asked to be; 'twas part of my refusal to back down on the "big issue" and knowing if I wasn't treated drastically I would be back and have to live with the "new policy" that drove us apart.

We had all been at the site around the same length of time, we had worked together, we had fought and made up, we had even traveled the country to meet-up in the midwest during a week of the summer of 2005 (I myself traveled 800 miles & stayed four days, two at a camp site during a storm that lasted two days and flooded the river we were set up on). My experiences with that site are the best things that happened to me in my life during those years I was with them (aside from real-life events that had to do with my real-family). And that was what it was like: family. It was a message board, yes, but it was mostly a site catering to promote creative writing and utilizing a peer-based system to have your writing read, reviewed, discussed, et cetera. It had little to do--but in spirit and name--with the famous writer that the site was a "fan site" for, yet the author took time to write essays for us, send gifts at Christmas time, signed shit and stuffed animals and personally-picked-out junk, and it was really cool to deal with those people and the true author and to work on something as passionate for us as writing together.

But money and the ways that would best increase said funds for the founders (not for the promotion of the site even but personal money to "repay" what they claimed they had sunk in the site back in its unprofitable, formative days) drove us into troubles, and the final problems came eventually. I was a mod over a large non-public, paid-member poetry section... and oh how we poets made a big political deal out of the situation; finally we were told we were not wanted but we were not banned. We held an "election" to determine who would mod the section after us OG mods stepped down. The OG mods were voted back in. And then we PMd the admin and asked to be banned. Policy stood and we walked.

Goofy little sissy rebel poets, us. :D Too much Rimbaud or something for me, I guess...

I miss the place. I still have friends from there, some I've never met, some I'll know the rest of my life, some that even come to stay a week or two every three months or so, driving or flying over a 1000 miles each time just to hang-out together again. My family grew due to the site, my children have more friends, I've had a million more experiences because of it all, and I miss it. But it would never have resolved itself. I go back sometimes and see things are just as bad (when it comes to what we disagreed with anyway). And the poetry section is still dead. :D

I've never been into a site, any site, even 1/100th since. I'd love it to happen again, but I doubt it ever will. It was the people, the point, and the accidental things that over time made it a once-in-a-lifetime-experience.

But I do like it here... very much... I'm new--well, new to posting anyway and that's what counts--so excuse me for typing too many words to express a simple story I could've in a quarter of the space. But most of the time, I can't seem to help myself. Extraneous wording is how message board types slowly start to know one another; least that's how I've experienced it.

[TheShowstoppa]

Summer of '01, I started an alt account at F13Forum to harass a douche named Les Dixon. DedKid banned me in short order.


I remember that fuckstick! Another one of those people I probably would have been banned over had I not kept my tounge in check!

And yes - I do believe Dave became a mod about a week or so afterwards. :shy: Good times.

[Jigsaw]

I remember Les Dixon, he was a huge prick. Thank God he eventually got the boot. I do wonder if he might've found out about this place and re-registered, though :X Hope not.

[Jack Bauer]

Never remember the fellow since I joined in '04 I think.

[Jigsaw]

He was around during the 2001/2002 era. I remember Jeans banned him.

[Jack Bauer]

Well, I don't remember much but I do remember finding this board after Freddy and Jason went to Iraq. I thought it was great back then, but looking back it seemed corny.

[Jigsaw]

I'm sure many others here remember Lex Dixon much better than me and will give you all of the details about him if you ask.

[Jack Bauer]

Nah, it's okay. If that prick was a prick then I need to know nothing more.

Also back on topic, I was acutally banned from another wrestling board because my brother got banned so I was banned because of it. Long story short, never engage in board politics.

[Jason's Storm]

I do remember Les Dixon getting banned for being a prick and Jiggy's timeline for that, is right about it. I'm sure many remember TMM (a.k.a. The Machete master or something like that). Took over chat, and then banned everyone from it. He then came back in a non-invasive role for one of Dave's New Friday games. His name was Paul something.

~JS

[TheShowstoppa]

Ahahaha! I'm loving these flashbacks. I remember when Zach got banned after Camp 1 for being a douche. I also remember Luigi being banned not long after Camp 1 because he ditched out on Zach and Jeans. We have since become pretty good web-friends - I forgave him and him me, but not long after the incident we got into a right spat about something. I think that also lead to his removal.

There's a picture somewhere of Lammert and I pissing on a sign that says "Fuck You Luigi." Poor Tony... :(

[Just Jeans]

I remember Jeans banned him.

And that's saying something, particularly since I go out of my way to try and not ban people. Les Dixon is one of only two people that I've ever banned.

[Jigsaw]

What did he do exactly? I don't really remember, I just remember him being the douche to end all douches.

[Just Jeans]

the douche to end all douches.

Pretty much sums it up. Les Dixon is by far the nastiest, most ignorant people I've ever had the misfortune to run into on the internet.

[Jigsaw]

I remember you had a number of mishaps with him and it got to the point where you gave him the boot because his behavior, attitude and blatant rule-breaking was simply unacceptable. I never had any personal problems with him, but for people who did, I feel your pain because I've had far too many altercations with people over the internet.

[Just Jeans]

I think Les Dixon is pretty much the only person I've ever been in an altercation with over the internet.

Granted, I've had debates with people that have gone a little more in the direction of arguments than I'd like, but I never like to make it personal. Les Dixon is practically the only person who managed to push me to that point, and it was by virtue of the fact that he was deliberately a very nasty individual.

[Jigsaw]

I remember he seemed to really get off at being incredibly nasty and confrontational with people. I also remember he could be nasty during difficult times, I remember the 9/11 thread and shortly after the 9/11 events happened and some of his comments at the time.

[SoulOnFire]

Wow, I don't remember Les Dixon at all and I was around at the time. Guess I just ignored him.

I've only been banned from a board once. I used to post on the Mike Portnoy forums and one day, in a discussion about torrents, I mentioned the name of a site. No links or anything else. Just the name of the site. Right away, a two week ban. No warning or anything. I wrote the mod asking if everyone else in the discussion got banned and he replied with "That's none of your business". I complained about the ban on another board and someone there reported it to the MP mod. I got an email from him later that day saying "Since you can't accept the rules and act like a child, you are banned for life". One funny thing to come out of it, right after that a bunch of people from the site I complained on signed up on the MP boards and bombarded them with complaints.

Oh, and I think I got a warning once on the old F13films board for acting like a douchenozzle once. But I was drunk at the time.

[Rick]

I've never been banned, if I go to a board with a lot of douches and flaming I usually just avoid the place.
I'd been around the old Friday board since 2000 and hadn't gotten into any trouble, not so much as a warning.
I don't remember specifics but I do remember Les Dixon vaguely.
I remember a time (shortly before the Forest Green Jail system I think) when people seemed to be getting banned left and right for a little while.

I actually know why you were banned from the chat and wow you really oversimplified that in your own favor. lol

[SlasherFreak]

I never got banned from anywhere, I generally get along with everyone, and just ignore the pricks and I try to stay away from political posts.

[Brett H.]

I actually know why you were banned from the chat and wow you really oversimplified that in your own favor. lol

o noes i wuz overlee gaye.

[sam hane]

o noes i wuz overlee gaye.

Half the people who visit that chat are gay, but that is a perfect example of why you were banned..lol :duh::duh:

[Hoody]

o noes i wuz overlee gaye.


Yeah dude, you've matured a lot since then - but holy hell you were a nervy terror back in the day :)

[Deathscythe]

Yeah it was at some forum back in '04, I was banned for "spamming". Nevermind the guy who was constantly making threads leading to XXX websites.:shifty:

[Notti]

Although I've never been banned from a message board, I've done my fair share of banning jerks on the old Commando Fans board. :D

[Brett H.]

Yeah dude, you've matured a lot since then - but holy hell you were a nervy terror back in the day :)

I was a bit more excitable back then. I never really did anything that hurt anyone though. I overstayed my welcome on some jokes because I thought they were really funny, and for the most part, I had an audience and accomplices. Chat was a bit divided and really the chats most were a part of and the chats the group had late, late at night were, well... night and day. Except I was never much to stop having my fun day or night. ;)

But, the HorrorDVDs.com thing was wayyy different. It wasn't myself and Emma talking about raping AIDS infested assholes with fiery hot dog skewers. What it essentially amounted to was man-sex talk in the style of the old F13 chat. I guess I thought everywhere was as gay as we were. :p It's no worries. To put it in easily identifiable terms, the bros I had in that chat are all still posting on Horrordvds.com, those who banned me are all banned themselves.

you threatened to rape someone in chat with a bottle in her "cunt" your word...that's not really jokey type material. Just saying. And the banned themselves thing is a story people really know nothing about so...;)

and the reason you've never been banned there I would wager is because no one is even aware you post there. when you used to come in chat I wondered how you even found your way there.

this is really cluttering up a thread though, if you wish to continue discussing things I have a PM box ;)

[Brett H.]

I don't even recall anything like that (I won't say you're wrong; not that it'd be taken seriously anyways when the N word was more than allowed :)), the only thing I remember is they didn't like Andrew Dice Clay and the word cunt. And that I was luciously gay. The boys were jealous of my sensuality.

EDIT: PM won't be necessary. I just thought it would be good to say what there's to be said since it was brought up. I have no reason to ever want to make up with any of those other people, other than the fact I wish them no ill will. And, they do know I exist, I have like 1200 posts and they linked to my website. :)

[JVM]

This is a post made at the site....referring to a member othan than me, and post-my banning....by the guy who pretty much got me banned. The one I told you I got into about a thousand fights with?

Anyway, one time a bit of a while after my banning, a member brought up the idea of making 5 levels of punishment, based on his First Grade teacher. It's a long post, which is why it isn't here. It was quite calm and composed.

Here was the response by the guy I told you about.The Quote in the middle is the guy who first posted the topic. The first and last quote are by the one who got me banned.

So you think its a good idea to treat us like a 1st grade class.

F*cking brilliant...
Yes, because if people are going to act like 1st graders, then they should be treated like 1st graders. And honestly, some people have been acting very immaturely lately.

Okay, seriously. I've about had it with your BS now.

No one is making you f*cking stay. You don't like us, then GTFO, because we have precisely NO, NONE, ABSOLUTELY ZERO incentive to change to suit your whiny-ass needs. You have done nothing but complain about how 'people are so Orgasmic.' Guess f*cking what, dude, you're the one who stays so its your own damn problem.

Now get over yourself, or do the REST of us a favor and get lost. Because no one here is about to side with your ass. Especially since you, a 17-18 year old punk kid thinks he has the right to look down his nose at us and pretend that he's better.

Edit: Oh, just today, someone else decided to give a mention in the "Fondest Memories Thread"

Every time I pwned John

Wasn't the same guy.

See, it shouldn't matter what you say or do on another board about the first board you were on. That's really not right. Our policy on the Jedi Council forums is that you can speak ill of us, but if you plan to spam and troll and you say so publically, then we'll preemptive ban you. Or at least, keep an eye out for it.

[Jason's Storm]

If you crapped about one board you are on, on another, say, like BD, I think we would take what you said in consideration, of your character.

~JS

[Jason_Legend]

I never got banned anywhere, but on the old F13 board, under a different name than the one I have now, I had one of my posts deleted.

What's weird is, usually when a post got deleted over there, you could always tell, but mine just totally disappeared, as if I didn't even post it.

[Darth Sinister]

If you crapped about one board you are on, on another, say, like BD, I think we would take what you said in consideration, of your character.

~JS

True, but it also depends on the circumstances. Why is the person crapping on the board? Who is in the right or wrong about the board? Just because someone complains about a different message board doesn't mean that they do or do not like the one that they are also a member of. I mean, I can complain about say the Highlander boards. But that doesn't mean that I go on there complaining about this board. Or that I'm going to be a problem here. If I were to say here that I was going to do something there, then it would be a professional courtesy to give them a heads-up. On this board, you should take steps to deal with me. But if I just did a general complaint on one board, then there should be no reason to look at me as anything more than someone who dislikes the other board.

[Jigsaw]

I've been temp-banned twice on another board I frequent and once got permanently banned after making some rather crude comments about the not-very-nice administrator who runs the board on another board, after he saw my comments (he lifted my ban after I clarified everything to him).

[God of Thunder]

eh, a couple of times... I think I got banned at the old forum for being too young or something. I had forgotten about it by the time I signed up as God of Thunder. Ah well, that's ancient history.

[Snowboy]

I got banned from a forum for being too young. I was able to access my account when I turned 18 though. (JUB).

I was banned from an anime forum when I was 14 for a number of reasons. It's embarassing now, but I don't feel like going into detail about it.

I was banned from the Ctrl-Alt-Delete (webcomic) forums for daring to post a sprite comic in their subforum for people's own comics. They didn't see it as proper art, and banned anyone trying to post sprited stuff.

Ironic really, considering most of the stuff they had there looked more like the collective scribblings of a bunch of colour blind hedgehogs in a bag. (Thanks to Blackadder for that joke.) And the comic the forum was based around has used sprited media in the past. Although admittedly, they were too lazy to bother spriting a character in the retro style, and so just lazily pasted in their art into the pixelated environment, something that I like to call "Snake Eraser Syndrome".

[Jigsaw]

For underage members who got banned on the old F13 board, were you eventually allowed to post when you were of legal age?

[Just Jeans]

As I recall, it was illegal for children under the age of 13 to join the forum without parental consent (as per the requirements of COPPA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COPPA)), and since it was a real headache trying to make sure such parental consent existed, a lot of places just didn't allow members under 13 as a general rule. But once they turned 13 they were allowed to come back.

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the clarification. I remember when we had quite a few underage members at the old board. I also remember Michael Greene very well, he was only about ten or eleven when he joined and all of his posts were basically nonsense. He's probably matured since then. Who knows if he ever re-joined or not.

[D-Lo]

I was banned from quite a few forums when I was a teenager. I thought it was fun to be an asshole in chat rooms and message boards. Now I'm grown and I have better things to do than ruin discussions. SO yeah, banned from too many places to remember. Never on the friday board, though. This place was always more 'real' than other forums, whether it's here or the deceased forum, same feeling.

Wasn't there some guy called wolverinefan who got banned on the old board? Whatever his name was, that guy cracked me up with the bizzare posts he would write.

[Jigsaw]

I remember Wolverinefan. I remember he eventually got banned for alledgedly making a racist joke.

Pretty sure he was developmentally challenged with no joking intended at all. Had another poster that I chatted with on a regular basis who I suspected to have some developmental problems as well. He randomly disappeared from the internet shortly after John Tenta passed away (thats the last significant conversation I remember having with him) and I've worried about him since.

[Jigsaw]

I hope he's okay as well :|

[Skye]

I remember Wolverinefan, I was around when he got banned.

[Jigsaw]

I was around when Wolverinefan was a member and remember when he was banned.

I've suddenly got that disconcerting feeling that the cosmos just turned over two pages at once. :thinking:

[Jigsaw]

What's your point? I may have repeated myself a little, but that happens in a conversation.

[Just Jeans]

I just find it mildly amusing, that's all. It's rare that someone repeats one's self almost verbatim in the same thread a mere four posts later (and even more amusing when it's just a re-scrambled version of what the person above them just said). It's not something you see every day.

[Jigsaw]

I do somewhat have a tendency to repeat myself.

But back on-topic, I also remember the jail forum on the old board well. I remember there were times when months on end would go by no-one got banned, then there was a ban. Les Dixon got banned long before the jail forum went up, and I remember the time Sleepkillz was voted overwhelmingly to be banned. Sleepkillz was basically another Les Dixon, very nasty individual who's ban was completely deserved.

[Utellme]

I got banned from the old forum or should i say my cpu got banned all because of idiots that lived with me. They ruined my email and my name all over the internet to this day there are still people here as a matter of fact that hold it against me.

But hey thats there decision i lose no sleep over it. I wish i could do something legally about all these emails etc that has been posted on the internet with my name. Which these genius es can't even spell right.But it just shows how bored some people are and ignorant people are i guess.

[Jason's Storm]

Thats why you sign out of your email, when you are done. You could always have the e-mail address closed and get a new one.

~JS

[Utellme]

Thanks, yeah i learned all this after the fact.And yes i had to get a new email because of all this non sense.

[DRE]

I seem to remember on the old forum, an academy award winning fan fiction writer by the name of Jason12 (or was it 13?) and his total annihilation by several regs. They even made the corniest line from his script into a catchphrase..."No, Jason no!"

Or something to that effect.

[Skye]

Oh, Jason12. I wasn't around when he was, but boy, did I hear the stories. It got to the point where Brenna had to call the kid's mother just to get him to leave us alone.

Anyone else want to expand on that?

[Jason's Storm]

I heard a rumor that he was set up for murder or something a couple years ago, but got off.

~JS

[Jigsaw]

I think I remember Jason12. I also remember Moneybags, now THAT was a hilarious banning.

[Dave Dunwoody]

Jason12 wrote Blake claiming that he was the writer of the next F13. Blake ridiculed him for obviously being a child, and then someone (Spawn of Evil?) found part of Jason12's script posted online. Then he came to the board to tell us all we were "jellis asswholes".

Brenna did have to call his mom to stop him from hounding us.

A couple years ago he was implicated in a planned school shooting. It was a completely ridiculous charge by paranoid morons and fed by the testimony of some other kid, all based on J12's plan to release a short horror film he'd made on 4/20, the Columbine anniversary. The legal proceedings ended with J12 making a deal and essentially pleading guilty in order to have the whole mess sealed from public record. But, it's already out there thanks to the press, and his life is probably pretty fucked at the moment.

[The Dream Master]

Jason12's script had Jason driving a truck, people. That is pure gold.

"No, no, Jason, no!"

Added: I didn't realize the extent of his legal problems. As goofy as the kid was, I wouldn't wish anything like that on him.

That's really scary. Was the board mentioned in the press at anytime since he was a member?

[DRE]

Sorry the guy went through that drama, but damn, what happened to him on the board was funny. I didn't read his script though.

[Dave Dunwoody]

That's really scary. Was the board mentioned in the press at anytime since he was a member?

Nah, it was long after his ban(s). I wouldn't be surprised if the prosecution dug into his Internet doings but probably never got back to us.

Yeah DRE, it's sad what he went through but it doesn't change the greatest Jason script in history.

[Jigsaw]

All I can say is I hope he's shown some improvement since that whole incident.

[JVM]

Wait, he sort-of planned a school shooting? So we know his name? What was it?

Wait, Jason drove a truck? That's funny. I seriously think that if Jason tried, he could probably operate a truck. If he felt like it. But Jason's more of a in-your-face kinda guy. He won't go out of his way for creative kills usually.

"No, Jason, No!"

That's getting sigg'd.

Edit: Anyone have the script? I wanna read it. I have a habit of liking pieces of shit.

[Deathscythe]

Jasons truck vs. Kruegers truck!

[JVM]

^ LOL

Jason Truck vs. Myers Truck vs. Krueger Truck vs. Leatherface

I seriously could've swore I heard somewhere there is a real truck called Leatherface.

[The Dream Master]

Jasons truck vs. Kruegers truck!

Krueger's ice cream truch would pwn Jason's truck. Not sure where the Voltswagon fits into this equation.

[Jigsaw]

I also remember a member named Poopman. I don't recall if he ever posted or not, but I remember his screenname being on the list of banned members. Also Phantasm69, who spammed the board and I remember one thread he posted had the title of "GO TO HORRORCORE.COM TO SEE A NAKED PICTURE OF JASON VOORHEES" :X

[Brett H.]

Krueger's ice cream truch would pwn Jason's truck. Not sure where the Voltswagon fits into this equation.

My only regret in making the Freddy's ice cream truch pic was I never had a bird munching on a bag of cheap seed on the top. Oh well, maybe for the next pic...

I really wish I would've been more active when I joined the old board a few years back so I could've witnessed some of these hilarious stories & bannings. I think I had a handful of posts & just kind of vanished.

It's possible that I may have joined around 2002 sometime as well. Not too sure of that though. My memory sucks sometimes.

[Jigsaw]

What was your old account called on the old board, Notti? I don't seem to remember you being on there.

[Notti]

It was "oltrelamore." I think I joined in late 2006 or something. I didn't post much & kept a low profile since the place was massive. Too lazy to skim the threads. Haha.

[Jigsaw]

I don't remember you at all from the old board. You're right that the old board was massive, about half the threads on there I never looked through.

[Notti]

I didn't really post a whole lot. Maybe like 20 posts. I only posted for a few days or so, I believe. Again, my memory is failing me here.

I really wish I would've been a part of the old board long ago & more active. I love hilarious bannings. Sometimes, hilarious bannings create cult legends...like this guy called "hulkmad" on Commando Fans. He "adored the art of toe-sucking" & the television show "The Fall Guy." I hope he's not reading this. :lol:

I bet the "Does Jason Poop?" thread was funny stuff.

[Jigsaw]

Oh God, that thread was priceless. "Did Jason wipe his butt?" :X :lol:

The Jail forum on the old board holds so many memories :cry:

[Draven]

I almost got banned from the Halloween Message Board because I accidentally stumbled upon a part of the site meant for Senior Members only. Luckily, they were understanding.

[On a Pale Horse]

In 6 years on the old board, I only ever got 1 warning point. It was weak too. In the "post pics of chicks you want to bone" thread, people were putting a lot of wrestling chicks in there. I said "I bet if you saw these girls in person, you wouldn't feel the same way. They look good on TV next to huge wrestlers, but if you see them 1 on 1 they are actually bigger and more masculine than you realize" and Blake gave me a warning for insulting other people's choices.

[JVM]

^ Ah, I think I know what you mean. I sadly cannot join the Halloween board, I've tried twice. Validation email hasn't come, either time.

[The Dream Master]

Check your spam folder; sometimes registration e-mails get sent there.

[kiss_armyman1]

Got a warning one time on the old F13 board. I never have been banned . I was being messed with by someone,and didnt keep my cool.

[The Taff]

On this forum, I've only been warned twice for crossing a line or two. I usually keep the lid on the "Hate bottle" screwed tight, but once and awhile it tips over and I let something slip.

First time was a pissy nerd match of "No he can't, yes he can" that got out of hand. I admit that I was wrong in that one, and promptly apologized and took my mark of shame, BUT I STILL SAY SPIDEY COULD WHIP JASON'S ASS! Those two warning points eventually vanished when the forum got an overhaul.

Second time involved the word "Retarded," which had just been deemed deragatory at the time. I found a lot of irony in that warning point. When I first joined the chat I found the use of the term offensive because my aunt is mentally disabled. Then, RIGHT when I had finally loosened up over the issue and no longer found harm in it, the word becomes deragatory. I guess that's karma against me right there. I get the message, God, I'll be descreet. Around that time I stopped looking at being a moderator as a badge of honor and more a curse of being impartial to everything. You poor, poor moderators, you have my pity and support in your curse...

I don't know if anyone remembers, but when I was younger, my over bearing parents "banned" me from F13films because they saw the ever horrifying "c" word in a chat. Needless to say, I proceeded to treat my parents like crap for a month until they realized they were being grade A, chuck beef stupid over a fucking word.

[SlasherFreak]

I've been warned twice on here...

for telling OAPH since he got his ebay scammers information, to screw him over credit wise :D I think I provided information on how to do so...yes, dumb of me, i know.

And for in the weird name thread, I said that "My family has always used (insert deragatory Italian slur) names for the kids"

both understandable.

[On a Pale Horse]

Do they even have the warning point system here?

[BlakeTyner]

Do they even have the warning point system here?

Yes, though it (fortunately) doesn't get invoked all that often.



Around that time I stopped looking at being a moderator as a badge of honor and more a curse of being impartial to everything.

That's pretty much the long and short of it. Were it possible to do things based on gut feelings and/or personal opinions, I know things would be different around here. Oh, if you guys were privy to the admin board...

Didn't we have a movement to get them to let you back in?

I have no lost warning points over here (that I know of), although I've often had posts edited due to my admittidly very bad habit of playing Junior Moderator, which is partially becuase most forums I go to the anti-Jr Mod rule is rarely, if ever, enforced.

Wow, really? Poor kid, and I feel really sorry for his mother too to have to go through something like that. He wasn't a bad guy, just immature and went about things the wrong way. I hope things are alright for him now.

I am guilty of doing that at the proelite forum (MMA topics). Theres no moderation there at all. The biggest thing that annoys me are the repeat posters. Someone will start a 'Kimbo vs Shamrock' thread, and despite the fact its at the top of the forum, someone else will start another one, then next day 2 more will pop up. I play 'jr mod' there a lot.

[The Dark Vampire]

Once I got banned from a site after a story involving a female teacher having sex with a under-age (about 13-14) male studnt came up I argued that it didn't matter what way around it was it didn't matter (that's not what got be banned)

Then someone else said they thought it doesn't matter if a adult (male or female) wants to have sex with a kid (male or female) as long as it's consensual even if the kid was about 12-13 I argued that would make the adult a pedo and the poster was an ass for thinking there was nothing wrong with it.

I got banned he didn't even get a warning

[CrystalLakeTheory]

The only two message boards I've ever actually took part in was this one and the old one. For some reason other boards never kept me interested. So needless to say I've never been banned from any message board or website. I tend to be a good rule follower anyhow and wouldn't get myself banned from anywhere.

Except when Jenosis used to ban me and not lift it until I sent him dirty pictures. :shifty:

[AmonStone]

Hell, I got a lifetime ban from AOL years ago. I was told that my account had been removed for "distributing pornographic material to a minor".
Here's the deal. I had one type of file sharing program or the other. I had some pics in my shared folder. Nothing extreme at all, the pic I was banned for was only a pic of a girl flashing her bare ass. I got home from work and couldnt log onto AOL, I hadnt had the internet for long so I thought perhaps I was doing something wrong. I called up customer service and the situation was explained to me.
Apparently some kid; who was under 18; had downloaded that particular pic from me, his mom found it on his computer, got my email address somehow, and complained to AOL about it.
Thing that pissed me off was that I tried to explain the situation to the guy I talked to, but he just kept repeating "We dont allow the distribution of pornography to underage people sir."
I've mentioned this to a few folks over the years and have heard somewhat similar things. I was told that AOL wants to be the "family friendly" internet provider.
Damn file-sharing programs. :mad:

Look, the simple fact is that he was warned about his spiraling attitude problem (repeatedly) and he violated the code of conduct (repeatedly), so he was eventually banned.

And that, as they say, is that.

It does seem to take a lot to get banned around here. One of many reasons why I like this place. Most places would insta-ban someone for being out of line. The mods here are really tolerant.

I saw some extremely ban-worthy shit around here too. Hell, I bet anywhere else I'd get banned for being a smart ass.

I just don't like banning people. I'm the sort of person who wants everyone to be happy. Unfortunately that isn't always possible, which is why it's good we've got a Rich and Blake in the Administrative muscle department; they have to balance out my ninny-headed desire to keep every single person happy.

Unfortunately, there are some people you just have to cut loose. It sucks, but I guess it can't be helped.

You forgot also, as long as stuff doesn't annoy me. My closing finger gets itchy, when stuff annoys me. This is why I stay out of some threads and sections.;)

I would like to think I'm a pretty lax Mod. My main expertiese is just merging threads that don't need their own subtopic. I've had to get nasty I think ONCE towards someone because they couldn't control their shit, and I closed that thread. It was worth it though to flex my muscles and show I'm not always happy-go-lucky.

Now, I tend to agree with some that we have been a little more tolerant of others than we should.

Next up on Friday the 13th Forums - the Ban of the Month club. Didn't do anything wrong? IT DOESN'T MATTER! We're going to ban one person a month for 12 months. :)

[Notti]

Unfortunately, there are some people you just have to cut loose. It sucks, but I guess it can't be helped.

Agreed. Some people just don't mesh well with others & their presense just brings the board down. We've had some people like that on Commando Fans back in the day. Their accounts were nuked from orbit.

We're usually pretty lax about going off topic. So long as it stays good natured, and so long as the thread goes back on topic when the need arises, we're fine with it. :)

In that thread, it kinda jumps from side to side. And as long as Jame Van Der Beek pops in every now & then, all is right in the world. :D

[TheShowstoppa]

You wouldn't ban ME, would you Eric??? :shy:

:p

I can't believe I missed this. I wouldn't ban you... Intentionally.

I'm not responsible though, for who I ban when I come home drunk this week! ;)

[Jimmy Conway]

Les Dixon, good lord I remember that!

I used to be a mod and admin on the old board, but then disappeared for a few months after deleting my profile (I was really spending too much time here). I then came back and didn't have to set an example anymore, so I basically got banned for nothing specific. About a year later, I got invited back which was cool.

[Notti]

As of now, I still haven't been banned from any message boards. Woo hoo!

[TheShowstoppa]

As of now, I still haven't been banned from any message boards. Woo hoo!

So you wouldn't be pissed if I put you on a 24-hour ban, would you? Just so you can say, "Yeah, some dick banned me once."

I haven't banned anyone in a long time. It's about due. I have a few people in mind...

*Looks at Hoody...* :sniffle:

I'm surprised at that too... damn!;)

I'm surprised at that too... damn!;)

Well I do try to abide by the rules as much as I can. I've been warned here before in the past, have had posts deleted, but never received any infractions. I can generally get along with most people & hardly come to blows with anyone except when it comes down to Ron Zombie. When something starts up, it's me calling people out for critiquing my posts that don't agree with their views rather than me going apeshit when people don't agree with my mostly negative views. I can easily co-exist with people that don't agree with me because 99% of the time, I don't really care about their opinions to begin with so I'm not going to ride their asses if I don't see eye to eye with them on something. It does gets tedious when my posting style gets attacked since this is something that has happened with a handful of members within the past year or so. After awhile, it just kind of stops because I think they realize that my views aren't going to change & I'm going to keep expressing them when I see fit as long as I abide by the code of conduct. Or they've been told by a mod to knock it off & focus on the topic at hand, rather than focus on me.

Ironically(since I'm a "bad egg" & all) I help run the Commando Fans board, which was once a fairly active board back in its day with close to 1000 members. Not so much anymore but I still help run the place.

I also mod at Phantasm Community, a board where Reggie Bannister & his wife are signed up on as well as some crew from the series.

So you wouldn't be pissed if I put you on a 24-hour ban, would you? Just so you can say, "Yeah, some dick banned me once."

Haha you have my permission to give it a go sometime! Just let me know before you do it so I can make sure I'm not on the computer much that day due to work or running errands. :p

As far as I can remember, I don't think I have ever been banned from a message board. I tend to be pretty careful with what I say/post and things of the sort, and don't go out of my way to live by the "Internet is Serious Business" way of life.

I have, however, received an Infraction here, due to my own stupidity along the lines of poor choice of words. So, I can't fault the mods for giving me that one.

I enjoy it here, and always have. So, I try and stay on everyone's good side. I just hope that no one here has a problem with me, that's all.

Yeah same here. Never got banned but I have received infractions on a couple different occasions. :p

[Hoody]

I probably, had I not been as subtle, could have run into trouble on the old forum when I was in college. I made comments here or there that apparently never got reported.


*shrug*

[The Taff]

I was the recipient of a strike from Mjolnir recently on a little shit kicker forum. I went in the for the sole purpose of starting shit with the forum's pissant, whiney little owner. The guy is a pimple on society's ass and a grade A knobgoblin, so I had my fun.

[Jason's Storm]

I've never been banned, because I have better things to do with life.

~JS

[SlasherFreak]

Now that I think about it...does AOL TOS violations count? I got plenty of them back in the day for acting like an asshole in chat rooms when I was like 13 and first discovered them, lol.

[Jason's Storm]

You mean, you got in trouble for acting like an ass, despite being bombarded with porn trading request? I heard you could get some bad porn on there.

~JS

[Utellme]

I just don't like banning people. I'm the sort of person who wants everyone to be happy. Unfortunately that isn't always possible, which is why it's good we've got a Rich and Blake in the Administrative muscle department; they have to balance out my ninny-headed desire to keep every single person happy.

Well ill say it yet again to all the forum staff you run a great forum here.I enjoy my time here and thank you for making this place possible for me and others to post.

And i think that 2 of the best qualities of this forum is we are allowed to go a little off topic in threads.The staff knows we will get it back on subject thats good stuff there.

And the other is letting us battle and argue to a degree and usually we are grown up enough here to settle our differences. It seems like the staff lets us try to vent and if we get out of control they act accordingly.


All the arguing me and Notti had in the Ron Zombie thread i thought for sure i was banned. I was not i was warned but not banned and i thank you again for that it taught me alot and how to deal with people.

And 1 of the best things that happen was me and Notti get along quite well now.And thats what its about being able to debate but at the end of the day being friends.

Wow...I actually dont even know if you're being sarcastic or not...but shit, I remember people actually used to trade porn in aol chatrooms!

oh, how far teh internetz porn world has come!

oh, how far teh internetz porn world has come! No, not being sarcastic, but what I say is true, even in the child chats there. When I mean bad porn, I mean, thrown in jail, and people put on notice, when you move into their neighorhood.

[SlasherFreak]

Disgusting shit...glad I never looked on AOL for porn.

The most I did was go in them in them server rooms on AOL, like private room name "MP3s" or "Movies", to download mp3s and movies when they were first really starting to circulate the internet. AOL shut them down, but it took them awhile. It was very convenient to have the files sent straight to my mailbox.

[Ravenwood]

Lord....I was banned from a role play chat room. I still don't know why it happened. Just suddenly everyone started turning on me, and when I began to question it I just got ignored. The last straw was when I left the room after not feeling well one day, the next day I get accused of "ragequitting" and badmouthing the mods in another chat room. Before I could ask where any of those accusations came from I was banned from the room completely.

[Notti]

This is kind of similar, I guess, but I did get kicked out of a Diablo guild in 1998 when I was 15 years old for trying to PK a guy who PKed me. I lost my cool & got PKed again because the guy was using a trainer to have infinite health. I blame me losing my cool on my age at the time since I was a hot-heated teenager. But yeah, I guess that kind of counts as getting banned since I got kicked out of a guild.

[Skye]

I've never been banned or warned either.

Scratch that. I got banned from HoJ today for no reason whatsoever. I didn't even post. Assholes.

[Notti]

Oh well. Getting banned from a SAW board is right up there with getting banned from a Rob Zombie worship board.

[Bill 1981]

Maybe I should join up there and make an ass of myself just for shits & giggles...just to see if they got the cajones to do anything about it. :X

[Jason_Legend]

I didn't even get warned on the other site. I did say a couple of embarrassing things in the political debate threads. I didn't get involved in them much, because I didn't think I was much of a debator, and still don't. Of the few times I did get involved, I said a couple of things, that I look back in embarrassment, lol. I'm not like that anymore.

[Jus-X]

Since yesterday I've been thinking about joining the Halloween board and finding the the Friday Remake thread and ONLY the Friday Remake thread, then spout off about the Friday remake being better than every Friday/New Line Jason movie combined PLUS Rob Zombie's Halloween remakes. I wonder how soon I could be banned?

[Bill 1981]

Since they have a short attention span on that board, it won't be easy. :X

[The Gunslinger]

I asked to be banned from Horror Demons so that way I could never go back to it. Too many backstabbers there and no appreciation.

[The Taff]

I've been banned from quite a few boards recently. Considering I had joined all of them for the sole purpose of being a vivacious prick, I'm not shocked.

[Jus-X]

I just got banned from a Halloween message board from one post: "Rob Zombie is a doosh on man dick without a milimeter of talent and should stick to growing his beard out."

There was an uproar, some hateful comments, and a PM from MOD saying "you're done."

I felt accomplished there. :)

Nah I'm fucking with you guys, still haven't gotten banned yet.

[Violent VictiM]

I was banned from the forum last time cause beastie verbally assaulted my dead friend, and then when I confronted him about privately, was banned for my remarks on publicly on the forum.

I remember when I tried to get unbanned several years later I was confronted about being Leroy Jackson, to which I quickly denied seeing as how I wasn't the incarnation; I just went into chat a few times as him to mess with peeps.

[Bill 1981]

Yep, I remember a little bit about Leroy-gate (not officially called, but my little nickname for the debacle)... Either way, "Leroy" was funny, even though he was an annoying prick. :X

[Notti]

I got my first "banning" today. I was banned from the Commando Fans message board because the webmaster is an insecure little 28 year old baby that can't handle criticism. Basically I was wronged for reasons that had nothing to do with commandofans.com or maniaccop.com(he was my partner on that site and completely deleted the site) and stuck up for myself. I let the infant have it and I guess it was too much for him to handle. I was an admin over there for nearly five years. But when you're a loser who has no power over people in real life, you gotta take complete control of something like this & smite anyone who doesn't pucker up and kiss your ass. At least the other admins know how this guy is. Unfortunately he has complete control over the message board and will probably go insane and delete it and the website like he did two years ago. :X

[Autobotsdie]

I got banned for 2 weeks off a Transformers board for saying something about staying awake after using sleeping pills because they guy thought I was saying that people should do that and abuse medications.

[Violent VictiM]

i like getting banned in my butt.

[Draven]

I once got banned from a board, simply for lack of visiting it, not really doing anything wrong. And the only time I really probably should have gotten banned at one forum, the Admin just told me not to worry about it.

[Myers, Michael]

Never been banned from any forum since most of the time I'm more of a "lurker" then frequent poster. I joined the old forum summer of 2001 and posted less then 1,000 times I'm sure.

But if AOL TOS counts then I have. It was kind of stupid really. It was in fall of 1997 and I was 13 years old. I went into one of the wrestling message boards that AOL had and called Shawn Michaels a word I won't say. And the funny thing was that I was completely joking (in my 13 year old immature way). But anyway my parents got an email and I was off the internet for a few days.

[Violent VictiM]

Pssh, dude. If I had a dollar for every time I was banned from AOL, I'd have like.. 4 dollars. And we could split the 80 pieces of Bazooka Joe I'd buy with it.

Punters/Progs are mostly what got me in trouble. Yo.. I just wanna type in wavey rainbow colors.. leave me be! I remember once when I was like 13 I downloaded a prog not knowing they were anti-software. When I couldn't get one of the functions to work I went to AOL help chat and started asking them how to make the colors work.

The lady was real sweet about it, she just said that it isn't a licensed product and I shouldn't use it. I kept insisting it said WaveMan for AOL 4.0 and she just kept telling me to get out. Finally she just left herself. She could have easily nuked my account, but she didn't, and I'd like to think it's because she's an angel who didn't want to stop my masturbating.

[Myers, Michael]

Later on I did much worse on AOL and never got reported. Just thought it was funny that I wasn't even trying to cause trouble or anything. Good old AOL.

[Jus-X]

Hey Myers... yes I would like to tickle that Elmo.

And welcome... don't get banned!
