    Ouch.

    Now that is what I call injustice at a forum.

    I don't like places where too many young people go to - they often have rules that are overly strict and often unfair. Like when I was banned from Neopets because they thought I was cheating on the Flash games, even though I wasn't - I was just making a lot of money, incredibly fast. I've lost interest in that game a long time ago, though.

      You were banned several times by vbforums.com IIRC.

        I've never been banned but I've been at a forum where they ban you or warn you for posting in the wrong place. It's ridiculous too because the forum had way too many forums to begin with and all were really confusing.

        People wear their panties too tight it seems to me I hate banning people and try to avoid it unless there's no other alternative, so it's totally absurd when people get mad if you're new and post in the wrong forum on accident.

          I've been banned maybe once or twice. I don't usually cause problems. Emphasis on usually.

                    Oh yes.

                    The famous "ask questions and you'll be banned" rule.

                    IPB and uBB aren't the only ones.

                    overclockers.co.uk banned me for the same reason.

                            Eh? AFAIK, He's never been banned from VBF, and it doesn't show on his profile either...

                                Just once I think...

                                I was reading the newspaper and there was an article saying that people were paying too much for webhosting. The article quoted a number of times the owner of a webhosting company, http://www.smartyhost.com.au/ .

                                He kept saying that how the big Telemunications companies in Australia, such as Telstra and Optus were charging a lot when Smartyhost was so much cheaper.

                                I thought this was a somewhat stupid comment, as Telstra and Optus host customer websites in Australia where bandwidth costs like 500% more, unlike Smartyhost and how they host in America.

                                So I went to their forum and posted a message telling them how stupid it was, they apparently disagreed with me and banned me.
