Have you ever been banned from any site, forum, forum chat, or anything else? Have you ever received infractions?
For me:
Date of my first full website ban: January 4th, 2010
Total bans from all sites: 2 (both from the same site)
Date of my first chat ban: N/A
Total chat bans from all sites: 0
Date of my first infraction: July 13th, 2006
Total infractions from all sites: 10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall: I have been fully banned twice on ipodtouchfans.com (a forum for all iPod discussion) for piracy discussion, I've also received an infraction there that could have been a ban, and that would have made it three times banned from the site, but the mod was being nice. And that infraction, was again, for illegal/piracy related discussion. I also have been muted for three days on an MMORPG game called RuneScape for breaking its "Offensive Langauge" rule twice, and its "Asking for, or providing, Personal Information" rule. I have also received four infractions on videohelp.com for making too many threads of similar content. Five infractions there would have resulted in a ban. And lastly, I have received an infraction on Fur Affinity Forums for bumping a topic over a year old.
www.ipodtouchfans.com: The first ban on ipodtouchfans.com wasn't even that bad, and it was for illegal/piracy discussion on January 4th, 2010: all I did was say "I have cracked apps", and then I got banned right then and there for one day. This was my first ban ever. But I wasn't discussing piracy, all I did was state something, so like what the heck? The second time was on January 31st, 2010 - it was an infraction for discussing piracy a second time that could have been a ban, but the mod was nice. Then the third infraction on March 3rd, 2010, again for discussing piracy, I got banned for three days because I made a topic asking help for torrenting songs. The site has an absolute zero tolerance for piracy; they ban you instantly if they catch you talking about it, even if you mention as little as a word that may pertain to piracy. I was dumb and didn't realize I was talking about piracy; I had no idea I was talking about piracy, nor did I really know what it was at that time (it was in January 2010, by the way, when all this happened).
RuneScape: On RuneScape, a web-based MMORPG, I have been muted for three days for breaking the game's "Offensive Langauge" rule twice, and for asking my friend for his e-mail address (how is that even bad???). I was in the "Red Zone", which means I was very close to being banned. This was all in July 2006; I was such a noob back then. Seriously. however, JaGEx erased all my infractions since I haven't broken any rules since July 2006.
www.videohelp.com: On videohelp.com, I have received four infractions for making too many topics of similar content (I was desperate for help!! >_<). Five infractions would lead to a ban, so I was on thin ice on that forum. However, again, all four infractions were erased since I have gone a while without breaking any rules.
Conclusion: So I've been fully banned only twice, but I was on thin ice on RuneScape and videohelp.com, so it could have really been four full bans; I was lucky. I've also received a total of ten infractions (warnings) from all sites put together. All the infractions were simply from me being a noob; I have no intentions of trolling or breaking site rules at all.
