aufisch Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I just came across a ban for: Reason: None And with no further explanation. This is the second time I have seen one of these. Are these people really banned for no reason, or were they asking to get their account deleted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if the system behind the site bot glitches sometimes -- either on its own or from moderator error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect something goofed up.  I have looked into this. It's actually just a quirk of the system. These accounts were spammers these bans aren't meant to even generate a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, that kinda used to happen, with people requesting it in threads in the old Closed Accounts forum. But they've since changed the process.

That's up there with "If you ban me I'll just create another account", unaware that it takes a lot longer to create a new account than it does for that new account to be banned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK if it can be automated but otherwise you're there, working towards repetitive strain injury.... And it's sooooooo boring. I'm not sure if they're aiming for some kind of weird version of the Darwin Awards or what but some people appear to enjoy being banned... maybe it's the only way anyone takes any notice of them...

I'm sure that's true about some of them. They're masochistic, attention seekers. Kind of like that kid in third grade who used to eat boogers for quarters because he thought it would make him cool.
