Come close here a few times. People get really offended when mock the typical customers of a certain fruit named company. Like poking fun at the Quran, the fanatics start frothing at the mouth.

apparently you've never asked for help. i just now got a 3 point infraction for making my router thread. apparently there's a networking forum here, but i didn't know about it. i hardly venture out of OT. the least the mods could have done is MOVED the thread. but noooooooo, i get 3 points

You choose to act arrogant, why should special courtesy be extended to you

Yes. I joined a forum for the bike I was buying and complained that the manufacturer was hiding an MPG drop in the current model year and didn't find out about it until I had already placed my deposit. They thought that I was just a troll trashing their favorite motorcycle because I neglected to mention that I was buying mine anyway and would have with or without having already placed the deposit. I was simply disappointed and thought it should have been made more prominent.

Also, they use the old forum view that makes a separate link and page for every reply, prompting much of the conversation to take place in the subject lines. I set my preferences to make it more like a traditional forum, but understood that most people were just skimming subjects, so I made sure not to respond to multiple posts in my thread with a single post. Responding to one post doesn't always answer someone else saying the same thing because of the way the conversation is branched in their view, which I could no longer see, so I made sure to reply to each person with a different post trying to make sure I left no loose ends. This came off as being belligerent, defensive, and pushy when it was actually far from my intentions. That may have also contributed to it.

It was clear from the moderator/administrator notes that they thought I was a troll. Funny, because I've contributed a lot related to the bike on competing community forums over the years.

Damn, you got 3 points for that?

I only got 1 point for posting straight up nude tittays in an embedded image in OT. Was seriously expecting a 2 week vacation.

Well that was one of those "It's against the rules, but AWESOME!" infractions.

This is the only forum I've been banned in, but they do let us lifers post in the Lifer forum regardless of our status on the "normal" subforums here, so it's no big shit.

It is just me, or was the free Lifer gift bag they sent out this year kinda lame? I was expecting a free iPod or something.

I have a warning to quoting someone who posted a picture that was deemed NSFW. Apparently a women's ankles were showing or something.

I also got a post removed and a "another like it" will result in a ban for referencing the Bob Saget "weed is not a drug, you ever suck dick for weed?" line from half baked. Forget who the mod was but when I explained I was just referencing what I thought to be a well known reference they let me slide.

If you didn't know about the networking forum, how did you manage to post in that forum in the past?? (You must be pretty dumb to think that the moderators/admins believe you.) http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=24729532&postcount=9
edit: I went back and looked. This was your EIGHTH infraction for posting in the wrong forum?? I think you need to make a thread - (in the Health and Fitness forum) - looking for a head doctor for that memory problem. I hear there are some medications that may slow the progression of Alzheimer's.

Yes.

Back in the late 90's, I amused myself with intentional trolling (much more so than now). I found a forum dedicated to Nintendo fanboys. This was when the N64 was the big thing, the Sega Saturn was out, and Dreamcast rumors were just starting. I would go on the forum and intentionally start Sega vs Nintendo flamewars. Then sit back and laugh my ass off.

Dumb, yes. I was also 19.

I was banned from another forum a few years later. That time I wasn't trolling, but I probably had my fair share of immaturity and had disagreements with the admin.

Never banned from anywhere, only ever "vacationed" once as a joke on another forum which I willingly participated in.

I behave myself
