Capchas not working? Part of the page not loading? Maybe the site or their ISP was having issues, and they needed to try again later? The world may never know... Maybe they should have tried staying calm and work with the support team to find a solution. Also, it sounds like the problem was client-side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadAngel Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Out of curiosity, is it possible to come back after being banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 You can appeal a ban. Often if you show genuine contrition the ban will be converted to just account restrictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators usually update the person's ban thread when it happens; they add a new post and change "BANNED" to "REINSTATED" in the title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this is only for people who didn't do something like pirate games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can prove they have since purchased the mentioned pirated material, they may be reinstated. Admitting to mass pirating, or refusing to provide proof of purchase when submitting their appeal is likely going to get it denied. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadAngel Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 I saw that a user was banned for talking about Nazis. For the record, I am not a sympathizer of any hate groups. However, I am a huge history nerd. I just want to know what the guidelines are for talking about this kind of subject. Can we discuss them while talking about history, or is it just a taboo subject regardless of the context? Here's the user in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason(s): Inappropriate Avatar image: Joseph Goebbels Upload of Nazi related content (Hitler Speech). Upload of Pornographic video material. He's a fan and supporter of the wrong side of history, so into the banhammer's void he goes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is not however, is any attempt to twist historical fact, or make the nazi regime out to be the "good guys" or show support for it and other similar fascist ideologies. The Hitler speech file was uploaded with the title: Good Guy Speaking About Something GOOD - which, alongside their choice of site avatar image, says a lot about the uploader. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sites will ban you for even saying the word “Nazi.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
