Don't ever make fun of the mentally retarded.

Don't be sexist, never say "Cunt" or "Bitch" when talking about a female. Unless it's Kerrigan from Starcraft.

Don't ever mention Epic Mickey being on anything but Wii. That game has claimed more accounts than a chinese usenet hacker.

 

[Alfarif]

Now this thread is getting on track!

My contributions:

-Don't do what Mike Works Does.
-Don't mess with Sports GAF.

Haha. I remember wanting very badly to do what Mike Works was suggesting in that thread. Luckily, I came to my senses. Still, it makes for a great read when you're on the john with your iPhone.

With a thread as radioactive as the NPD, you damn skippy you should read the OP before posting again.

If I saw a thread dealing with race, abortion, or some other hot button topic over here on the OT, I would tread carefully.

I find it funny that game sales are as sensitive of a topic as abortion.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Has anyone been banned more than 10 times? I think I have you all beat. (please don't ban me)

Yo. I've also been permabanned.

wait, what!?

 

[Red Scarlet]

No one answered my last question, but I''l ask another.

When someone puts "no ___ or ban" or "___=ban"
Do they add that to the OP, or is it a mod? Is that stuff enforced?
I only ask because I have a very specific thread I've always wanted to make, but I already know a bunch of dicks will do something to ruin it. Is it worth contacting a mod to get some info on the particular idea.
Its pretty harmless and sort of boring, but a thread I'd like to see just the same.

There's that 'pickup thread' for each month..I've never, nor never seen a ban from there.

Can you post links with NSFW tags? I was banned without warning for that.

Depends on what it is pretty much. Some things are ok with NSFW tags, but other things (porn pictures and stuff like that) will probably get you in trouble. You simply can't put NSFW then post anything you want.

 

[bozeman]

I think I saw a few during my many months of lurking, especially when stock pics were posted on the first or second page with all the warnings given in the OP.

Edit: Actually, one of my first posts here was warning a fellow junior to edit his post containing a stock pic in that thread. He said he didn't know what stock picture meant.

 

[chubigans]

Once I was banned for six months for comparing the GAF forum to GameFAQs due to a dumb thread. I learned my lesson well. ;_;

Also, this has to be the most painful permabanning I've ever witnessed...a slow, agonizing death for Wii Will Rock U.

[Red Scarlet]

Probably banned for something else, as I've never read a post about someone being banned for a stock picture in that thread. Not in the last 18 months anyway.

I remember that. Wii Will Rock U was the first Gaffer to IM me so I will remember him for that, but I did find his demise hilariously sad.

 

[fanboi]

I just remeber that one member was banned for sheer stupidity... was what his name again...?

The only documented case in GAF history :lol

mileage seems to vary.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Yep, there is no black and white for what one person may seem a bit too much and what someone else may not, both ways. It's a risk people take.

Hum... I was under the assumption that if you put NSFW tags it was safe even if it was a pornshot with Tiger and some garls...

IN the op!

^ Ah yes! Good times.

 

[KevinCow]

There are exactly three ways to be absolutely certain you're not going to get banned:

1) Become good friends with one of the admins
2) Become a mod (usually goes hand in hand with 1)
3) Don't post at all

Otherwise, there always exists the chance that you'll suffer the wrath of a mod who's had a bad day, or who simply disagrees with your opinion.

I missed all that because I had him on my ignore list since like his second post on gaf. :lol

 

[jts]

I was banned for a month once for rickrolling, yo. Rickrolling was a banned meme at the time, so it was pretty stupid for me to do it.

This other time, I dodged a bullet for using a wrong word (though I wasn't using it in an offensive manner).

All in all, it has been a good and easy cruise. I say that if you're good kids, you won't run into any trouble.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I'm most bitter over my banning in this thread

Granted it was my shortest banning (like, 10 days I think) but it was so uncalled for, and if Dragona had maybe clicked on the link in the OP she'd have no reason to ban people for requesting the game on their system. /patheticgrudeholding

Something people with special tags should remember :

Never take your tag too seriously

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=382049

Ever since Ignis Fatuus got his "really angry at Canada" tag, he was being a complete jerk to canadians and he finally got banned for going too far.

Good riddance, he was getting so annoying and predictable since that thread that got him his tag.

 

[Hitokage]

In another historical point of reference, permbans are also rarely permanent. However, this was more true during a certain period around 2000-2004 than otherwise.

 

[ronito]

You can joke about pooping on someone's chest.
You can tell a guy-gaffer to poop on his SO's chest.
But you can't tell a girl gaffer to have her SO poop on her chest.

Yeah even juniors were able to see that ban coming.

 

[McLovin]

I hate when there's a huge thread with like 20 something pages. Someone posts something funny in the first couple of pages and people kill it. Around page 20 something a mod says next person to post this is banned. You jump into the thread around page 24 you post what you saw in the first 3 pages and bam! Recently I saw that they update the OP but they didn't do that back when I got banned for posting a pic of fat chicks in a bikini.. it sucked so hard. So I guess one unwritten rule is, If you see something really funny make sure you check the at least the first and last couple of pages.

 

[Tntnnbltn]

[If you see something really funny] make sure you check the at least the first and last couple of pages.

You should be doing that anyway, to be honest.

What a legendary thread...so many bans :lol

 

[Plywood]

By the way whats the deal with sport streams? Its a bannable offense to post link to wrestling,MMA,etc etc?

I think its fine to post lamps. Though I need a mod/admin to confirm. I remember a person had made a MMA thread not long ago for one of the events and he even had posted lamps in the OP and he had went unbanned.

 

[Milk Lizard]

I am so happy GAF gave me a server error when I tried to post in that thread and then forgot about it.

yeah that's him. he didn't last long but the made the the junior thread epic. it's probably one of those names i won't forget :lol

i guess he made the mistake of thinking the tag was a blessing from the mods that gave him license to step his shtick up to the next level.

sometimes tags are a warning, not just for other posters, but sometimes for the person who received it

Thanks, think I'll get started on my stupid thread. Wont be ready for a few days... So exited ! *squeal!*

 

[How About No]

I was looked through the Archive threads once, and one that stuck out in my mind was the one when Evilore banned a guy because he wouldn't deal with his own personal shit. The guy was physically disabled and his brother beat him, and he was pretty much posting for pity. Posters said the guy should call the cops, but he said he would just accept what was happening to him. Wonder what happened to him.

So what the fuck should we be doing? Encouraging you to remain in absolute misery? Look, I'm done with this. You're banned; take the time to sort your life issues out.

Here's the thread

On this note, having shticks will get you smileys and a couple of fans, but they can get annoying fast. I remember the guy that would put "goddam" after every post.

[Blader]

Don't say anything remotely negative--not even a tiny hint of it--about PC games in a thread where EvilLore has posted.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Yeah, Kevin's three "rules" are more or less false. And of course he pulls the 'mod has a bad day' card, when hmm, maybe what certain posters post in a certain manner frequently may have to do with it instead.
