I officially belong here now - Ban from BGG was created by stormseeker75
I got my first ban from BGG this morning! Sure, it's just one day, but I feel like I truly belong at the Fort.
Apparently, telling someone who's being a dick to fuck off is not acceptable, but being a snarky fuck is.
Here's the thread: www.boardgamegeek.com/article/8247503 . Yes, perhaps my question was dumb, but I thought it had merit and didn't deserve the cocktastic reply from that most douchy of fucks, Barticus.
Fuck BGG. I've contributed so much to that site and yet when I stand up to someone who is generally rude to most of the posters I get a ban. Fuck whoever banned me right in the eye. No more earning money from stormy's work. I'll save that for myself and for the Fort.

Dude, when you are BGG you just have remember that you need to talk to people as if they are your boss's adored, but slightly demented grandmother, with your boss standing right there with his arm around her. Never swear. The correct response to what ever she says, no matter how insulting or inappropriate is, "Oh, how nice."

The dick behaviour is completely related to the fact that they have thumbs on BGG. Compare it to youtube. Everybody is just trying to gather attention. It's like men desperately trying to score with a cute girl, they want to finish every sentence with a joke, it's afflictively ridiculous. You just can't have a meaningful discussion like this when several people pop in the thread making "hilarious" and derailing comments. Fortunately we're still holding back on the "Thank You"s here on the Fort, plus the derailing commentary tends to not be lame. Except when I post it. Apparently. I want more "Thank You"s dammit!

Ok you've been banned? For what, a whole day? You're allowed to complain when your bans knock you out for a month.
I keep going back as there is a lot of important trolling to do in RSP, and someone needs to do it.

Ok you've been banned permanently? For what, the rest of the site's existence? You're allowed to complain when Octavian has called out a hit on you.

The story's buried somewhere in this forum. Basically it went like this:
1) Got suspended for 2 weeks or something
2) After about a week several users start badmouthing one of my contributions
3) Logged in with alt-account to tell them that particular contribution was meant as a joke
4) Perma-banned for circumventing a suspension
My account still exists there, I can't use it at all, but don't want to delete everything either. I've wasted lots of time there, don't miss it really, but it's not like there aren't some nice things from me on BGG like my GotW thread. I'll probably have to delete it eventually though. It used to be in the top search results when googling my name.

It's not like you didn't know what the end result would be if you typed that. So you got what you deserved based on BGG policy. Was it worth it? If so then fine but it's hardly BGG's fault. You damn well knew when you hit submit that it was a bannable offense and you did it anyway.
That's what it's all about. All of my bans are for the same type of thing. I knew someone was being an ass but doing it within the BGG policy and I just called them on it honestly because I hate doing things with that slimy used car salesman type style. I got banned for it and now so have you.
But you can hardly be angry with BGG, you fuckin knew this would happen. Just roll with it dude, a day is nothing.

I was banned for a day too reacting to somebody being a total dick. Guess what I learned from that experience? They're not worth getting worked up about. I rarely engage anyone in an argument there anymore. Just plug along with my observations not giving a fuck about what anybody says.
There's a loser segment that spend their life baiting people like you and me. So the next time you're in the BGG zoo, looking at them in their little cages, remember, don't feed the assholes.
