Re:I am curious. What does it take to get banned here?
Of course some personal preferences apply: human nature.
It’s almost always personal. If you present yourself as a sterling member of the bored for 10,000 posts and then freak f#king out for three in a row: people will forgive you without much ado.
Troll all over the bored and people will get tired of you and react to your behavior with much less restraint. JJ was right about unequal treatment over at Lexx.com. I saw several instances where he was chastised for an offense that another person sailed right by with. The point is your reputation can preceed you.
I am not familiar with the history of all the bannings (but the mods are). So I live by their judgements and hope some concessions can be obtained.
I am not being negative in the slightest about Gela et.al or the mods here – I think they do a fine job and put up with much more sh*t than I know I would. (You want to see militant mod-ding, give me the power! 😈 )
A guy once explained it to me like this (and really pissed me off when he did) bad behavior is like a check….you write one with each occurence. Eventually your account is going to get depleted and they’re gonna bounce your ass!
