edwardnigma010 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi all, I'm locked into this fierce competition with a friend to see who can get themselves banned from as many online forums as possible. An account suspension is worth 1 point, but a total ban from a forum is worth 2. We have to report back on our results on our radio show this NYE. Basically I don't want to be a jerk to people and have instead opted for the polite route - that is, simply asking y'all for a little help. All I need from you is to be banned and a message from an Administrator explaining it / making up some reasons why. You can have some fun with the reason, I don't really mind. Anyway if you could help me out, that would be awesome. Sorry to disturb you! Quote Link to comment
Loren Wade Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Or you can come here, get nerdy, and get fit. Otherwise, I don't think we should do you the favor. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
edwardnigma010 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well, I'm already nerdy and as it happens that's one of my resolutions for 2012 - the whole fitness thing. It's the first resolution I've ever made. Sorry if I've upset anyone. Quote Link to comment
Loren Wade Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Nah, I'm not upset. But instead of getting banned... save yourself a point and take a look around. You've found an amazing forum. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
cosmia Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I say it shouldn't count towards the competition unless you get yourself banned without actually saying that's your goal. You gotta work for it! Quote Link to comment

MMyers Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 What radio show? Quote Link to comment
Loren Wade Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Edward, you should feel special now. You even got Steve'd! Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
Guest Carjack Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Ed's opponent will have stories of how he did everything from furry threads on /b/ to creepy stalker profiles on dating sites. Ed will just say he asked to be banned. The radio show's audience will be angry that Ed didn't offend them. Quote Link to comment
edwardnigma010 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Amazing! I did actually troll BodyBuilding.com. I've hit up a number of sites and that was the first one I went to. There, I tried to be properly nasty and really tried my best to get banned the good ol' fashioned way. Not only did it not work (still a member) I felt awful afterwards. I don't want to bring anyone down, but I do want to win this comp. I get where cosmia is coming from too, you should have to earn it properly, but those kinds of stipulations weren't laid out! The only rules are that I can't post pics or links or profanities. Also, well spotted with the Riddler thing. I couldn't think of another username. The mini-series Hush inspired me, if anyone's familiar with their Batman shiz... Quote Link to comment

edwardnigma010 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Actually, Carjack, I do have a few stories through my failed attempts. That's why I'm being friendly now... I found that being ultra-annoying really wasn't getting me anywhere, certainly not banned. And it made me feel bad. Quote Link to comment
Guest ZeroTwo Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 If you genuinely feel all moral over trolling some internet forums, then even an overmothered marshmallow of emotional eating failure like me can see that you need to toughen up. Quote Link to comment
Guest Carjack Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 The art of getting banned requires subtlety. "Annoying" is not a ground for banning in most places. You can break the rules with offensive posts and maaaybe get banned, or you can create hilarious introductions in their forums which mock their culture. Could go on Stormfront and introduce yourself as a black communist from Zimbabwe. Or join YouTube and ask 100 people to flag your mundane gardening video for all kinds of violations. Post a My Little Pony thread and soy milk ad on a manliness forum. A before and after on Transformetrics' cult like anti-lifting bodyweight exercise boards and then a "PS: I lift things up and put them down!" Everyone will immediately recognize your crusade to get banned and you'll have your wish. Of course, I'm not telling you to break the rules on forums. Quote Link to comment
edwardnigma010 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I dunno ZeroTwo. When people are passionate about something, it's not cool to go stomping through their yard, trampling over what they value and believe in. It just makes them upset, which I don't really want to be 'good' at. I think it's better that I feel this way and have a moral compass! Quote Link to comment
Guest ZeroTwo Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 But when people are passionate about idiotic things (99% of what people are passionate about), then maybe it IS cool to trample on their values and beliefs. Quote Link to comment
Guest Carjack Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 My theoretical method makes nobody upset.All examples are "haha gotcha!" threads.They read a long news story that's perfectly plausible and at the end details of zombie invasions, ghosts and aliens appear.They say "wtf this is a troll thread, ihbt" and that's the end of that.https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQDnu7ytrS_NiQC3oD7rCe5RUrCNuOFq1etBg2VH2wyR5lEgpFDand off he goes to the next target Quote Link to comment

Grosby Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 How many forums have banned when you've used the "nice polite guy" approach? Quote Link to comment
edwardnigma010 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I've been banned from two! The other one I used some pretty explicit My Little Pony fanfic. Quote Link to comment
