I always assume blame space is telnetting into space and posting his posts through a space proxy.

I like you, Blame Space. Well, at least I did until you became famous. *sniffle*

He didn't become just famous, he became PRETENTIOUS. Super preten even.

And Timedog after winning that other thread vs . Blame Space became all hollywood, sold out and got a huge ego. Now he's all above normal gaf threads.

Typical.
 
There is no surefire way to not get banned. The only thing preventing massive IP-wide bans is the constant war raging between the mods themselves for supremacy.
 
And when you are in the middle of one, leave immediately. Don't stick around and continue to fight. People here are very good at baiting. They'll call you out and quote you a million times with intent that you fall into their trap.

If you say something stupid (I have been super guilty of this) they will form up like Voltron and quote until the cows come home until a mod notices. By then it's too late though.

This is some good GAF psychology lessons here. There are indeed a few members who love to bait people and watch them get banned, I am not gonna name them, but some were mentioned already, and to the good observer, a "bait" quote reply should be obvious, they slowly reel you in adding soft jabs at your comments , be careful new GAFers.

^ yes

There are some threads you shouldn't post in if you're not gay. Because you're automatically wrong and you hurt people's feelings.

I've never once felt this way about a gender-related thread. Most people just wander into threads about sexuality or gender and seem to forget they're talking about people somehow.

Verging on 15k posts and I haven't been banned yet. I don't really have a strategy, but if I did it might be something like:

  • Don't be a dick.
  • Explain yourself.
  • Avoid sweeping generalizations.

fuckin' called it, man
I've never been banned, but I have seen a few of my posts deleted before. I hope that doesn't lead up to a banning or something.
 
Also is Blamespace going for a mod promotion or something?

Please don't laugh at my ignorance if such thing is not possible, I've lost my NeoGAF history book before I even read it.

I've notice recently all he does is make "helpful" threads for GAFers in general, he also seems very PC in his comments, just seems to be all around good "helpful" guy.

I heard a rumor which said that if you send a mod a picture of you hugging a pillow with his/her avatar on it you can get unbanned.

This is all I can say. Source is the neighbour's cat

you can't have an opinion that is contrary to the popular one

that doesn't actually get you banned but it def gets you shat upon

The problem with the ToS is that it doesn't contain the more specific banned memes, pictures etc which you can post by accident.

I didn't figure you for a soccer fan.

Either way I can waste you in a rap battle.

You're asking to get beaten in a rap battle Timedog.

I don't care for Wario.

There I said it.

I don't care for any of them. The fact that any one person treats any other person like they're better or special is crazy to me, regardless of whether they have a tag or a red name. When it comes down to it they're all just people behind computers. Talk to them like you'd talk to anyone else.

I always like to point out that there are so many incredibly kind, generous, and helpful posters here that go unnoticed because they don't seek attention.

There was a short period recently where most of the "celebrities" were banned at the same time. Paradise.

I'm no GAF celeb, I just get former mods judging me based on my username.
And by judging I mean insulting me completely unprovoked.
