Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
what is the secret to not getting permanently banned from NeoGAF.com?

just don't be a bully
Don't worry about what other people are. You are special in your own way. I'm special too. I'm an orange.
Don't use the word 'See You Next Tuesday'. Know a few people who got banned for using this.
I also got banned for 2 weeks, and to this day I have no idea why. Bumping an old thread apparently, but which one I have not a clue.
Basically, to get perma-banned you must do something really stupid. Or quote a banned meme/quote/image source/web site, which is pretty simple to do.

What? Cunt has been said plenty of times. I know it's frowned upon as a the king of swear words by some. But it's just a swear word all the same. There is no racial or gender offense implicit within. Americans seem to give it some sort of huge significance that the rest of the world doesn't.

Well its all about the game (of context). If you call another user it you'll surely be banned. But if you're say discussing the use of the word like you are now I'm sure its fine. Same thing with uh the n word, there was a whole thread discussing the use of that word.
You..yyh. qhwu..dhud...... Lies are part of your game, no one believe him!

XD, I can't stand those ads!! Also, I rarely ever post. I learned my lesson after posting possible spoilers in one of the Prometheus threads :/
İ have been banned twice, one over politics even as a liberal which i understand and other over religion that I still don't understand why as no post of mine was deleted there. So now I just avoid posting on such threads. I actually think posting on gaming is a lot safer than posting on ot threads, so that would be my advice to you. Stick to posting on gaming about games and systems and why do you like or dislike particular games or systems and you should be fine.
I always say "cunt". It's a great word!

Love everybody on here. GAF is filled with amazing and loving people. Consider it an honor and a privilege to be among this loving community of wonderful people. Why would the mods ban you when they know that you love them so much? Cherish your GAF life with all of your heart. My feelings are overflowing with love and emotions for all of you blessed loving people. I love you all.
When I got my first and only ban, 1 week, it was the worst week of my life
...I'm no good with adversities.
So, cherish your fake-life on fake-place for fear of fake-death because semi-love in fake-place is as great as real love in real place?

Don't argue with the mod. Ever.
I don't usually argue with mods, but when I do, I do it passive aggressively.

Avoid posting at Gaming. Somehow I've seen violations there that got passed one way or another. The only places I post there don't involve fanboyism.

Don't say that fucking an ugly gold digger is pathetic.
Of course, there's nothing pathetic about fucking an ugly gold digger. If one has the money and don't care about looks, I say go for it. So sorry, whoever I offended.

I see this mentioned a lot, but I'll say the reverse. Off Topic is by far more moderated than Gaming, with a large variety of bans.
Generally speaking, staying in line with the status quo is the best way not to get banned on here. If you agree with the prevailing opinions in a given thread and your post reflects as much, no one will attack you because your opinion won't stand out from the rest. Having been on GAF for a while, I would say that this forum (as well as any other community, I guess) has a surprisingly insular "monoculture" that dictates the de facto rules of the forum. The fact that "everything has a defense force" and "first post nails it/should've been the first post" are memes on this forum should be evidence enough that there is a prevailing status quo on this forum and those opinions that go against this status quo are generally frowned upon.

Don't pirate games, and then post about it.

Stay away from threads about discrimination, politics or religion. If you ever find yourself in a discussion, make you sure you're not insulting anyone.
Or just stay away from any serious and or controversial topic like I do.

This is pretty much the reason for my 3 bans in my 6 years as a gaf member.

Always hedge your earnest opinion with some weaselly non-committal language or similar loophole. Generally speaking GAF mods are fairly judicious and tolerant towards different opinions, but you never know when the odd one out with an axe to grind will take something hitherto TOS safe and magically create a new standard by which to ban you because your views don't jibe with their own.
And don't viral advertise.

- Stay out of gaming side; it's known to make you spend more time raging about games than actually playing them anyway.
- Don't be under smarmy in the dictionary or ruin afternoons, I'm not sure how they get away with it but you probably won't.
- With the mods, leave your trolling at the door. They won't take that shit.
- Community threads are relatively safe zones, get stuff out of your system over there. Of course, within reason.

Is it really a secret? It seems pretty easy.
Yeah that one applies outside of NeoGAF, I'd say. In fact the majority of these do.
The way this actually works is that you should not constantly derail threads. You can express your opinion without trolling others. You can debate without changing the topic of a thread for pages on end. You can post without repercussion so long as you can do so respectfully.
If you are unable to do the above then, yeah, probably better for you to avoid the threads.

This would be my suggestion as well.
If a certain poster gets you riled up most of the time when you read their posts, put them on ignore. Problem solved.
