On a socialist forum there was a load of drama and basically a coup between groups of admins that eventually ended with the deposing of the hierarchy and replacing it with a democratic structure where all members vote on froum poltiics, an admin that had it in for me took advantage of all the drama and quietly banned me for a minor offence, no one noticed cept a few, those who would have protested were already banned during the hub bub, I don't think the only admin who would have done it was willing to start new drama just for one itty bitty member.

During the mess I happened to be the leader of the transhumanist socialists, so I was fraked from the start.

Yes, I've been banned from Unilang, a language forum. :lol: I don't even remember why really. Some people were being twats and I was arguing with them which somehow got me banned. Then I was 2 out of 3 strikes on EllinForest, a forum for English speakers of the Korean version of MapleStory (since you're technically only legally allowed to play it if you're a Korean-born citizen, but there are ways to sign up, but it's very difficult), again because people were being idiots and were arguing with me. Some people just refuse to admit that they're wrong. :P

Getting banned from online forum sites is a common trait of being an online self diagnosed Asperger/ADHD.
Aspies regularly get banned online for trolling, flame baiting, personal insults or going off-topic.

I've never been banned from a forum, although I have had one or two posts deleted by mods. That includes one here a couple of years back, although I'm not going to go into detail as I have no desire to re-ignite that particular cyber-conflict. Suffice to say it was political and not personal.

I have been banned from Schizophrenia.com because they thought I was faking it for attention even though I AM NOT. They bullied me to the point of being suicidal and posted my PERSONAL information without my permission. It was the moderators that bullied me and got other people to join them and I had no one on my side. Then it spread to other websites. One time even though I wasn't banned here I was severely bullied. IT was at least 5 websites that put me down, called my art "crap" called me a "faker that should die" and finally my speeches are "pathetic according to them. They were proud of themselves and I hope something happens to them. Bullies shouldn't live. I have schizoaffective disorder. Everything is great in the world so don't worry be happy! We got Osama bin Laden!! !! !

Sometime, particulary in the case of a close-knitted community, being banned from a forum is like dying. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I should have never confessed it, NEVER!! !! !! !! !! !! ! Better to live with the burden of a shameful secret that dying saying it....

You don't know what I'm talking about, but I had to say it.

More so, I may have hurt a lot of people that I deeply care about. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

It's unusual for me to get banned from a forum, but it sometimes happens in chatrooms. Always because I disagree with the room owner about something, stand by my argument, and thus piss off the room owner.

I've been banned for 24 hours from an internet image board which will go unnamed. That's the extent of my online misbehavior however.

I can't remember being banned from any forums. The closest I've got has been on a forum called City Data (a huge forum about cities, geography, demographics etc.). On it, I asked why certain countries do the middle finger on Google Maps so much while others don't do it much or at all. This was taken to be a trolling question, I can see why, though it really was meant to be a serious question. It got me a warning, and asking such questions again will probably result in a ban.

Why was it taken as a trolling question? Did they think people don't do that in google photos on the maps?

I suppose it was because they thought my question offended nationalities. It's notable that I asked about Canada, as it seems to be just about the worst country for offensive gestures, and a Canadian gave me the warning.

I was banned at least two times for having a signature that was supposedly too big, even tho it was not that big at all. And i have seen other people on there was signatures way bigger.

I have been banned too frequently for my lame attempt at being a troll. I need to learn to be more subtle troll instead of being blatant obvious trolling.
