I got an account warning within the first 6 months of joining because I called someone "a fucking troll". I lurked here since 04 and knew things but still I guess it was considered a personal attack.  



I received warnings in the EE from early bumps and having too many threads on the first page.



M4Madness called me by my first name in a  thread once and I was like WTF, this is not good. Why does he know my name?!  I IMed him and asked if I was on the radar or something.

had a disagreement with site staff. I raffed, and of course, rused.



Random fact of the day: 75% of my posts are deleted before the submit button is pressed.

Quoted:

A guy posted two Colt 9mm magazines for sale in the EE.



$45 each. First "I'll take it" gets them.



I posted I would take them.



The ad had been up for several hours when I posted.



Then got an IM saying it was a "typo" and he meant to type $75 each but he would let me have them both for $140 shipped.



I posted his IM in the EE thread and asked if he was welching,



And that's when the fight started.



We both got locked for 24 hours and I got both mags for $90 and left feedback in the EE.




I had a guy do that. I IMed him and went back to the ad. Was looking at it again just to be sure. Then I got a message saying, it's so and so much. I hit refresh on the ad page and the price jumped. WTF?! I called him on it and got it for what I wanted.

Never been locked.

Got a warning because I quoted a reply that had something in it about harming dogs.

I was new and didn't know dogs were off limits, but cats are OK to harm as far as afrcom is concerned.

Never had a warning but I did get a time out for smarting off in the EE. No warning, straight to GTFO. I don't don't remember how long the lock was for, maybe 24 hours.....it felt like weeks

just a warning - said something about Joshki sucking apple's cock. Sorry, I just got tired of the apple/pc threads. I just pointed my frustration at him for some reason.

When Eric Holder, who was appointed by Obama, stated he was going to look @ going after guns. I posted the advertisement of the fireman union labor thug who said he could trust Obama on two things, keeping his job and keeping his guns.



The guy in the poster has all kinds of public information about himself posted, so we decided to email him.



Staff didn't like that.



I got a lock.

Got called to the principle's office by TBK for writing "F^#cking" in a subject line.  Funny how I got reprimanded, but it has continued to happen on other threads without edits for as long as I can remember and continues to this day.

Speaking of which, I've been away all day. Did that dude that started "THAT" thread get his account locked? I noticed the thread wasn't just locked it was deleted.



Just curious.

Never.  I try to keep things light here.  I got fairly pissed off with some stupid comments on the Boulder wildfire thread –– I know some of the people whose homes burned –– but I felt the rage forming and I stepped away for a while instead.

Never been locked or officially warned, although I did get pissed once over a soldier's death and used that term that referred to the enemy as wearing a terry-cloth atop his dome and got an edit and a "please don't do that" from VA-gunnut once. I complied and haven't used that term again here.

No offense intended because I completely agreed with what you were posting, but it seemed like maybe a month or two ago you went off the deep end and started posting some opinions that I thought for sure would get you locked. Glad it didnt. For the life of me I can't remember what had you so pissed though.

No warnings or locks for me yet!!

It was during the Steyr Aug Banning.



As I recall, it was during a 9/11 anniversary, and somebody started a thread saying "Post a message to Osama Bin Laden"



Steyr was banned for posting a picture of a roll of toilet paper with Arabic writing on it.  The caption read:  "Everything I ever needed to know about Islam, I learned on 9-11"





I couldn't believe he got banned for that, and asked if we would get banned to posting a picture of Mein Kampf, or the Communist manifesto written on toilet paper.





I think I got locked for comparing Islam to Nazism or Communism.  A destructive ideology rather than a religion.     I still can't believe this is a bannable offense, but whatever.





I had gotten one before that for calling an anti-Christian troll a "Dumbass" or "JackAss" or something.    It was a one word response.





Because of that, the SStaff though I was insensitive to religion, or lack thereof, or something.    I remember it clearly, because nothing could be further from the truth.

He didn't get banned for that. That was the last straw, for a guy that was on very, very, very thin ice.



Incidentally, I'm all for letting him come back. I wish they'd unlock him (it's been long enough). But his ban came as no surprise at all.

I got locked for "hacking photobucket" when I posted a picture from a members photobucket account that was in his public gallery.

Even though TBK1 got that one wrong, I still respect him.
