Not that it's a goal of mine, but when I go through a recent thread and see someone that has been banned, I get really interested in the cause.
Maybe I'm weird. Mod Edit: Quote:
Here's a few reasons:
Do NOT steal bandwidth from other sites. Make sure the picture you use is one you host yourself, or that somebody else has uploaded for you. 1. No trolling, or flaming. Any form of personal insult is a no-no. As a basic rule of thumb: if you think that what you are about to post is insulting, don't post it. No posting with the intent of starting "Drama". If you feel the need to start trouble, go elsewhere. 2. No posting IM or PM conversations. This is not only a breach of privacy, but it is also incredibly annoying. Most people are not going to want to wade through an IM conversation you had with someone. 3. No harassing board members. This goes for either in posts on the boards (see rule #1) or in private messages. 4. No Political Discussion at all. No Jokes, no flash animations, no political signatures, nothing. 5.No links to illegal downloads or copyrighted materials. This includes MP3's, games, pirated software, movies, full book or full comic scans. 6. No discussion on where to download videogame "Roms". Talk of the actual emulators is permitted though, as these are fully legal. 7. Selling of pirated software, copied episodes, comics on CD, copied CD's, etc. is not permitted. Neither is linking to places where these things CAN be bought. 8. No porn. No links to pornographic sites or content will be allowed whatsoever. This includes nude cartoons (hentai). 9. No discussion on abortion or religion. As with politics, these topics are guaranteed flamefest generators; as such, debate/discussion on them is not allowed anywhere on here. Holiday cheer threads to express "Merry Christmas," "Happy Easter," etc. are permitted. Within those threads, posts that pursue avenues of religious debate/discussion will be removed. 10. Keep posts in the appropriate forum. For example, don't post a topic about the toys you bought this morning in General Discussion, that sort of thing. 11. No public questioning/mouthing off at staff. If you have a problem with a decision a member of staff has made, PM them. 12. No alternate identities. This is instantly bannable if we catch you. 13. Keep the swearing to a minimum. A lot of posters here swear a fair bit in real life; however, you never know how old the next person to read your post is going to be. So try to keep the amount of swearing you use in posts to a minimum. 14. No bandwidth theft. Every time you link to a picture hosted on someone else's site without their permission, you are stealing their bandwidth. If you do this in a signature, and we find it, your signature will be removed on the spot. 15. No posting anything for banned members. If we find you posting sales, art, messages, etc. for a banned member, for any reason, you will find yourself banned for one week. Do it again, and it will be a permanent ban. No warnings will be given. 16. No posting of "Graphic Images". Corpses/dead bodies, mutilated bodies, or any image which can be considered overly sick or disgusting. Posting of these types of images will result in a one week suspension from the boards. 17. No personal ads. We're not a personals board. So no "Any girls wanna go out with me?!" or "Single white male looking for obese elderly honey who's into mud-eating" or stuff like that. 18. No public discussion about rules or administrative action taken on members. Concerned about the rules? Did we discipline someone? PM us about it. Neither are appropriate topics for public dialogue. 19. No posting Spam/Advertising No posting with the intent of promoting stores/websites. If you wish to advertise on HissTank.com contact an admin. 20.No discussion of illegal/fraudulent activities No discussion of illegal and/or fraudulent activities (such as exchanging items for a price other than what you paid for it at retail, how to repack an item, etc. Practices like this hurt our community..not to mention our wallets). This kind of discussion has no place on HissTank.com Although that seems like a lot of rules, most of them boil down to one simple sentence: Think before you post. Thanks for reading, guys.

i, too, am curious about what it takes to get banned. i'd love to see some examples, where the conversation went wrong and what the last straw was, etc. there should be a whole section of threads that led to someone getting the ax.

I was banned once, I never found out why. I didn't intentionally do anything wrong.

Usually when you have something really offensive like Justin Beaver in in your signature.
