Me neither. I think the longer you are on here though the more you learn to skirt around the ban hammer. It's just mainly about not being insulting to other posters, no matter how irritating they may be.
Despite the fact that a couple of posters can be as irritating and critical as they want to others, while remaining impervious to any punishment themselves.
Warnings do NOT, I repeat NOT expire after a certain amount of time, however much you wish they would.
So you could be on your third strike for years and one ickle wickle tiny weeny mistake, And You're OUT; forever! Forstar du?
Or so I'm led to believe:o
Such words of wisdom and experience from someone who only joined DS this month......it's uncanny, It feels like an echo from the past, from someone who's been taken from us....does it qualify as a psychic happening?
I've received 2 bans during my time here. The latest one was actually a few days ago for a slightly insensitive thread I created. The initial bam was for 48 hours but I contacted the mods and politely explained indisnt realise I was breaching the t&c's. Got my ban shortened to 24 hours
My first ban however was so pointless however. Certain posters are too touchy here so I'm careful where I post

It appears someone else has had the same experience.

The linear bannings are warning, 24hrs, 48hrs, 2 weeks, permaban but it's not necessarily adhered to. From what I gather they look at your ban history which may add to the decision based on the severity of previous bans. I've had 11 bans and 5 warnings.
Well I've never had a warning but had 48 hours and a week
I think I've had two or three. I'm not surprised really about the earlier ones, but my last one was more recent and was for some totally innocuous throwaway comment in a Jeremy Kyle thread of all things. I wouldn't have minded had not a) it been mystifying as to how it could be construed as 'offensive' and b) I'd posted it several days earlier and had forgotten all about it. It did make me wonder what the mods' response would be if someone were to look at a post you made a year ago, decided they didn't like it and hit the red button.
I was talking about *offensive term for a black person beginning with n* Man from one of the episodes. Now I look back, I can see how it'll have been offensive!

Was that the wheel of fortune episode when it should have been "Naggers"?

Then you are a member of the Teflon club really, IMO.
I doubt many here would be able to survive without receiving a perma, with at least 11 bans under their belt.
I've had a couple of bans... One was for a week when I got really fed up with a former poster on here and made a fairly long post in which all the capital letters spelled out a fairly rude message about them. Someone spotted it, posted it on another forum and then it got back to that person on here and I guess they reported it and I got banned - I couldn't be bothered arguing that my post 'as written' broke no rules and it was just coincidence that the first letter of each sentence happened to spell a message out!

That sounds inspired - shame you got banned for it.
I got banned for 48 hours I think for something I said about a former Big Brother contestant on the BB forum (I think - I'm still not entirely sure what the offending comment was.)
I got banned for a week for saying something derogatory about those nice travelling folk.
I'm worried a third strike will see me off the site for good so I'm watching my P's and Q's even though I really feel like laying into people sometimes.

Or even a Re-incarnation?.......it's funny how just the odd word or phrase can bring back memories of a 'past' life!... i have had those same feelings or dare i say?, irritations while reading certain threads these last few days, Urm.....interesting!....

Nobody's figured it out yet.

me so stimulated by your post. :-)
I've been warned but not banned yet.
I'm not brilliant:D:D, just careful to walk away.
I've seen some who have had a holiday and wondered why. Mathers is still on holiday:(:(
I wondered why you were on holiday, but South Park, what do you expect:D:D:D, it's shite:D
You didn't quote from the Tourette's episode?
Sacre bleu!!! It's genius!

Also genius
This was actually ... Guy (not Man as I originally said!). I think it was from the episode where he was receipting poetry or something.

Well, I'm glad to have been of help ....though I'm not sure what I did.
I was a bit of a gobsh*te back in thoes days and got too carried away in the BB forum.
I also made a comment about Robbie Williams which got me banned.

I explained my self, told the mods, I had place in warnings, the tread had it own merit, but someone took offence
My latest ban, I could not understand, seems I got a 48 hr ban for filtering swear words, which seems were not allowed to do Merry X***
This thread will probably get locked, as this discusssion not allowed
