The most ridiculous ban you will ever hear

My first question, as being new to here, did this happen here?

edit easy there kids, I just over looked that part.

People who had Game of Thrones and activated the bundle key got a copy added to their inventory, so it's possible. As for bad language, I don't know, but asking 'how are you even an admin here' for doing his job seems kind of rude to me.

Well, you did provoke him "why are you even an admin here" for no reason. Though its not "bad language" its not proper respect for an administrator of a forum.

I would never come back to the forum like this.
No comment... Maybe only the part "Why are you even an admin here" is to aggressive, but it's not good reason for ban.

Maybe if you just used "What do you mean by depends on which game?" only, you wouldn't have got a ban. That first part makes you seem like you're attacking him. Also, you're wrong and he was right. It does depend on which game you activate.

For the record, the admin was right on the facts. There are games with multiple versions for various reasons (regional pricing, language packs, censorship, bundled DLC, etc), and redeeming a key for a different version of a game you already own can use it up.

Well i got banned from an already dying forum (i joined in 2005 until today) after i said the admin that every single idea he had to keep the forum activity was wrong and they would only kill it even more. Everyone agreed with me but still i got a permaban :D

Edit: I said until today because i'm using an alternate account, made many friends there that i just couldn't let go.

It's usually not a good idea to call out an admin like that. There are plenty of other ways to state your point without offending an admin.

why did you have to say "how are you even an admin"... thats your fault.

Actually you calling him out, so dont complain.

you were acting like a douche and now you're mad... my thoughts

Terrible wording IMO
If someone give an info you consider incorrect, you fix it by giving the right answer, you don't question the person's position as admin. Besides being a personal attack, you were biased by judging the admin for a single action.
That being said, ban was unnecessary. a simple warning would do the job, UNLESS you have history.

Not ridiculous, you were being really arrogant by making them feel bad when they were just trying to help and made a mistake

When correction is needed, simple correction will do the work. Anything else is unnecessary.

I thought i won't need to write it, but just to make it clear:

Hes new as an admin there, and yea, I don't know why he is an admin because he just says wrong answers in a lot of threads, and the guy didn't talked about a bundle game, so, there you go. and yea, maybe I was a bit aggresive, but the ban i got is too much in this case.

Edit: WOW, I can't belive this. I disscused with a guy on another thread about Pop-Cap bundle which suppose to be next week. Now I found that the freaking admin deleted all our messages and said to the guy I discusses with that he shouldn't talk to me anymore because im a person with low "value" (I don't know if thats right spelling). anyway he means I have no respect like he fucking knows me. Now, what are your thoughts?

I got banned from here when, on a SteamDB thread, I suggested someone gift me Steam product ID 54 (I think that was the right number, it was correct at the time) - which is a meta product containing the entire of Steam. Banned for over a week. Actions like that speak to the fact the mods clearly don't give a flying fark about the members.

Cry me a river. Seriously, you were rude and yet it surprised you to get banned? Well, that should teach you a lesson. Or not, it's up to you.

Naw, that's not the most ridiculous ban by far. Also, technically a straight 'ban' in the way you mention it is a permanent block. You got suspended for a few days. Call it a learning experience.

My 'favourite' suspensions typically come from TF2 servers, where you get the usual array of power-trippers loaded with random flippant pre-cooked one-liners like "IF YOU DON'T LIKE OUR SERVER THEN LEAVE kick" in response for literally saying "Hnngh, quake sounds". I once pointed out (over voice chat, with an openly light-hearted tone, joining server-wide banter) that it's funny how some servers insist on being 'family friendly' while a dude throws jars of piss and teams die screaming/in bloody chunks. That resulted in a 1-week ban with the admin message of "our server, our rules" despite not having broken any, nor having adopted an actual tone of criticism.

The best near-ban was because a different server had a really draconian language block, that would mute you if you swore (for roughly 10 minutes, I think it was?), but would gib you if you said the word "monkey", and send a server message to you in all-caps with "RACISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED, YOU WILL BE BANNED". I found this infinitely amusing, but had no intention of tempting fate with how dumb folks can be in online gaming. I was dumb enough to forget, some 20-or-so minutes later, and said "monkey" again. Admin logs on and gets openly hostile at me, the usual "I HAVE POWER, DO NOT QUESTION ME" tone they get when they blatantly just want to press a red button and feel important. I explained exactly what happened, and he was just as baffled as I was. Close call? Maybe? I dunno?

It all just comes down to the fact that people are douchebags when they have either popularity, numbers or power. Admin for random gaming servers don't always go through quality screening, so you get folks like that. It makes you appreciate the good ones that bit more though <3

Sorry to hear that you got banned for BS like that. People who blow their top and get easily offended should not be in charge of anything. Yeah, there are rules and the admins are in charge but just because you are in a position of power/authority does not mean that you can abuse that privilege and act immature. You could have worded your response better but the admin was just as much in the wrong for reacting the way that they did and should be ashamed of themselves for acting like a child but sadly I guarantee that their actions will go unpunished.

Stupidity is everywhere, add power to that, and you've got yourself a real brain-cell assassin.

Admin was right, you are ignorant and arrogant ^^. The fact that you now tell us about it here justifies the ban even more.

What is ridiculous? It is being banned from a forum dedicated to being politically incorrect for the reason of racism

I have been banned for asking when the developer will switch to SteamDRM.

come at me bro...I once was banned for being omniscient :D

I'm admin of a forum and I would never ban anyone for saying that. I'd be annoyed but I'd just offer the reason behind my answer and tell them there's no cause to be rude. Just because you're admin doesn't mean you get to use that power whenever you get mad. Some admins just think they're a god within their territory but that's just a stupid way to behave.
