Are there any sites you got banned from?

That sounds unjust.

Maybe you have siblings or other relatives that use GameFAQs and got IP banned themselves.
 
I am so disappointed that 12 year old me never discussed her religion on ACC. I would've loved to have seen how that one went down.

But seriously monitoring people's PTs is hella creepy. Back when I was on they must've not implemented that then. I remember you could bypass the filters if you put something like [ / b ] halfway through a super naughty word. I suppose they've gotten rid of that now.

Not slamming on ACC though, I did have some good memories there. Before I got perma banned. For no reason at all. Bear in mind it couldn't have been the swear words in PT thing because all my friends did it too and weren't banned.
It was a great site in it's time. It was my first forum, though, so I'm probably biased. It's just refusing to change is killing it. And no one on it wants to believe that.

But there was a large portion of time where PTs were let go. No one cared and no one reported. It was just considered common courtesy, and you never added members that were too sensitive.

Well I'm a conservative, but I don't hate homosexuals. I only hate those who support socialized medicine or other forms of radical socialism, as well as the left-winged fascists. But right-wing fascists like the mods you're describing are just as bad. And they're banning people for being gay? I hope the adiministrator and the moderators of ACC get sued someday. I'm not going to sue them, but that sounds serious. And please don't tell me if they ban users for being a different racial group. That is very lawsuit worthy.
The point isn't their opinions the point is that the moderate the site based on them. It's okay to have certain views but it's wrong to expect everyone to listen to and abide by them.

They don't ban people for being gay. You just can't say gay it's a filtered word. And you can't discuss the topic of being homosexual because it's too controversial.

Oh, I thought they were discriminatory. But yeah, some sites don't allow controversies that big. On LBPC, we were arguing about abortion and if an unborn fetus is considered human. The admin told us that it's "very touchy and better left out of the debate". We got no official warnings for discussing abortion, but we stopped. I bet that's worth an IP ban to talk about abortion on ACC. I still hate it that they ban users who even complain about how strict they are.

don't stress yourself out too much. karma is going to bite ACC in the behind. lack of updates and willingness to ban and restrict users over minute issues adds onto their decline.
 
I knew it. You weren't a strict mod after all, but to be a good moderator, you should do what you really done. If someone is misbehaving, they should get moderations and warnings, regardless of popularity. If many people leave because a popular person was banned for misbehavior, it's their loss. I'm not acting like a mod here, but I'm trying to argue on your side. Banning mods for banning popular members is not a good idea unless if the popular member was following the rules. But you're off that site now. You don't have to worry about it again.

Thank you, thats nice to hear. I worried about it for a short while after it happened, but I never doubted my decision. The site chose to opt for the lifespan of the site instead of the values, that's a decision they are free to make and they did, in a democratic way (well, if you consider a handful of supermods representing over a thousand of members democratic, imo it is democratic because they were chosen primarily by the members). However the choice they made would never be mine, on a subject important enough for me to stick to my beliefs. Therefore leaving only felt bad for a very short period.
 
Banned from stardoll so many times. So many times
Think I was probably banned from VMK a few times too but I don't remember
 
On Club Penguin for 2 days because I hit the wrong key when typing "sec". Darn you X keeeeeeeeeeeey
 
Maybe this is technically not a "ban" but my neopets account was frozen. I think it was due to inactivity since I didn't play in a few years. I also got banned from Runscape for trolling some people with my siblings back when everyone was asking for girlfriends/boyfriends on that site. :p

Okay. But just letting you know, that's one of the three sites I heard the most banning stories from on this thread. The other two are Club Penguin and Neopets. ACC is very strict, but Neopets and Club Penguin are trying to be child friendly. And you are right about how bad welfare can lead to losing publicity.
