| ban-happy admins Well today I signed into a site I was a member of - to find I was banned. Apparently the admin got pissed because I was the owner of a competing forum. He said I was banned because I posted "his link" somewhere - which I did, but it wasn't like he owned it (file sharing). His loss, really, cause I was planning on posting on his forum regularly, despite us being competitors. Anyway, what are your thoughts on admins who are to quick to ban?  | ||||

That's okay if they're scared  Take it as a compliment - your competitors are in fear of you

| Wow, Ryan banned from TAZ... that isn't a surprise. I was banned from TAZ about this time last year for no reason. I recently joined again but apparently I did something he didn't like again because he banned my newest account but another one I have isn't banned. I think The Sandman is extremely ban happy because my friends at vB-FAQ also admit to being banned from TAZ for no reason. Yeah, he must like banning. He also thinks it's cool to redirect banned users to a page called "mainpagewelcome.php" with nothing on it. Is he trying to trick us or something? I give up there...

| The only ppl I ban are the spammers, their post don't even make it to the public view  I did ban a user that had a 100 or so post, because he started talking about waraz and priacy and I can't have that on the forum.  I'm not going to jail for some members post..lol | ||||

| When Ryan said he was banned I was surprised but at the same time I wasn't because who isn't banned from there? Then when Adam said he was I thought "wow." Now I know every new post in this thread will be about how they're banned and I'm prepared for it when I come in here, lol.  I guess someone really is ban happy...
