You'll be added to the "ban list" for posting this. 😀
Who cares. Mainly attention seeking idiots.
It's a better place without them.
GW for the win! 🙂

Its a question thats all it seems you need to have been here a long long time to understand wtf some of the stories even are about and the names
I got banned once for posting a photo of the queen on the loo..

Yes.
No you can't see it.

The first time or after he broke back in?
I got a ban and it wasnt for praising david cameroons government, and how good they are at running the country.
Well it's been more than a month since the last "banned" thread!
Bring back Elfinsafety
most of them were all the same person (well, three people) using multiple names IIRC.
Can someone cut this circle jerk off at the knees please?
I remember someone posting elfinsafety's twitter page up once. That was fun!
Can someone cut this circle jerk off at the knees please?
thats new
someone has asked much more politely above
I got banned for promoting the SingleTrackWorld Southern Festival, the same day the prizes they had sent me arrived.
STW southern festival was the one-off precursor to the Big Bike Bash which I also got banned for promoting
I got banned once for posting a picture of some hemorrhoids.
I got banned once for putting a thread title that was too long and which broke the forum format
I've received numerous tellings off but never a ban.
Some porky pies being told on here.
I only get emails about inappropriate posts and the posts deleted on threads where people have said much worse things. I think it's only inappropriate though if someone else complains.
I can't actualy remember what I was banned for.
I got banned for mentioning a product that IMO makes this site a better place to hang out. Others here use it too.
I'm not allowed to discuss what I was banned for. Though I may win the prize for the shortest ban and/or the only person to successfully argue for my ban to be lifted.
edit: are you actually allowed to give that much detail, spacemonkey?
I got a telling off for asking for a contact for Tandem Jeremy.
We're now friends on FB.
Emails in my profile if you want to get in touch with him 😉
I once got a stern email for calling someone an idiot.
I've met a mod - actually a nice person and ace rider.
Ah no Leku, not that one! That's a corker though..
I have vague suspicion that the one I posted might have featured her Majesty's floury baps too
my pseudonym got banned for talking about his all very true, long distance relationship!
slowoldgit - MemberI've met a mod - actually a nice person and ace rider.
They are real? OMG I thought they were just droidbots or gooogle spiders or whatever these things are called.
I feel left out not having been banned, can someone post some advice on what will get me a 3 day ban pls? With pichures if possible.
edit: are you actually allowed to give that much detail, spacemonkey?
Personally I don't see why not because 1) those that know what I'm referring to will know anyway, and 2) those that don't wont. So the state of play remains the same.
I got a short ban for making apparently unfounded allegations about Jimmy Savile around the time he died, a bit quick off the mark with that one really.
I got banned for mentioning a product that IMO makes this site a better place to hang out. Others here use it too.
Rubbish. We wouldn't ban anyone for mentioning a premier account.
spacemonkey - MemberI got banned for mentioning a product that IMO makes this site a better place to hang out. Others here use it too.
what product's that then? 😀
I received a couple of bannings, and a very sharp phone conversation with the mag editor, after which I apologised.
I also got a ban for a comment someone else (swiss tony) made. I got unbanned sharpish.
Apparently Edward Snowden's got the banned list off the CIA.
Guardian's publishing it on Monday.
I got banned for mentioning a product that IMO makes this site a better place to hang out. Others here use it too.
I've been told off for the same. didn't get banned though. Must try harder next time.
I got a week or so off from here for recommending a great adult video web site on a post asking for web site recommendation.
I was only trying to help like!
I got a ban for asking if anyone was attending a Ryan Adams concert. Rather harsh, I thought. 'N0' would have been adequate! 🙂
Druidh got a ban for the use of the word **** in a completely non-racist and contextually correct manner. I still think the Pavlovian response was rather out of place (but funny nonetheless).
I got banninated for a weekend for posting a risque photo of a lady in a provocative pose.
Not that anyone else has ever got away with the same... 🙄
Every now & again I get to take a break, last one was due to fred running to the mods after he lost an argument with me, ****ing baby he was! 🙄
Slightly OT but I've always wondered how 'scotroutes' is pronounced! 🙂

It's pronounced 'Druidh'.
HTH.

FTFY

Druidh, I believe. 🙂
Curses! Beaten to it!
I have arisen so I must have been banned
I have been a good boy since my return and had not so much as a warning as I realise everything they do is just AWESOME
Yours
Winston Smith
To be fair I shudder to think what this place would be like without it and I support moderation in general if not every decision.
they seem to be,in general, pretty fair on here.
Still miss TJ and Why oh why TSY?
last one was due to fred running to the mods after he lost an argument with me
I don't believe you. Fred never loses an argument.
Actually it seems you already discovered that.
<waves>
I got a stern warning for trying to evade the swear filter and a ban for posting the video of the racist woman on the tube (Which had been posted already).
I think the mods are way too oversensitive and they seem to let some things go by whilst others get hammered . I've probably just set of some alarm and expect a blacked out SUV to be outside the house in the next 30 minutes.
What proportion of bannings were Fred I wonder?
I think I got a sinbin though I can't remember for the life of me what it was for. Being a mouthy **** probably. Oh and some warning shots which I can't take seriously at all, one for calling an idiot an idiot and one for starring out 2 letters of the word shit, which is more offensive than just typing shit. I was a prisoner of conscience!
Well checking the history list some of you are still telling fibs.
one for starring out 2 letters of the word shit,
For example.
Drac, can you seriously take a look to see what folk were banned for?
Of course he can - how do you think they track past moderation decisions and try to ensure continuity?
The only one that interesting me here is the chap who got a call from the editor!
I got a 3 dayer for being rude to Adam G. Worth it 🙂
Loadsa bans, many fair, none ever discussed by mods, despite their standard invitation to do so.
Bring back the real WinstonSmith (he's not banned tho).
Why oh why TSY?
Never understood this one either, I thought he was great entertainment whilst not being offensive or repetitive like some of the others that have gone.
I've had a few warnings, but also a while ago I posted of my experience of a certain organisation and a representative of said organisation contacted the mods to demand my comments were removed,
After contacting me and getting my side of the story and me standing by what I posted, they told em to jog on and let my comments stand..
So it's not always about the ban hammer and you can't say sh**....
Edit.. LOL!! ^^^
...names blurred to protect identities.
😀
Jamie, I hope that wasn't ordered alphabetically.
Jamie, I hope that wasn't ordered alphabetically.
Chronologically.
Amazing!
I got a warning for posting a picture of some malnourished children. Worst I've ever managed!
As if Jamie, there were many before me.
It's in bellend order and you know it.
WIN.
Lol!

I've had a similar warning email for exactly that.

No you haven't.

Yup.
Is that me at number 3? I thought i was a Bigger nob than that?!
ill see how the two gay sailors in a dinghy comment goes
Drac - ModeratorWell checking the history list some of you are still telling fibs.
What was it for then? Definitely something exactly like that, "swear filter avoidance" for something that wasn't in the swear filter.
Not banned yet, but had a stern telling off for avoiding the swear filter, for words that were not in the swear filter but should be, in a thread full of swearing. My post was nowhere near the worst but someone got all delicate and reported it.
"called drac sugar tits" Love it, does that count as calling drac sugar tits again?
If not then may I call drac sugar tits again. 😉
I had a few days banning for apparently deliberately avoiding the swear filter by typing **** , despite it being perfectly acceptable on R4 during daytime radio broadcasting and on the BBC web forum along with national broadcasting on father ted and other programs....personally i find the phrase 650b far more upsetting to my delicate nature.
Is that me at number 3?
Dunno. I just Edward Snowden'd the document.
