Support NeoGAF

[DonMigs85]

Yeah, okay, but he calls it on himself. Did you SEE the Moltres picture? I did. It was . . . I mean, barring him actually MAKING THAT I don't wanna know he could have come by it.

The pooping Moltres? Nooo you've brought back repressed memories

 

[smurfx]

pretty obvious that otrebor is some perma'd user who came back to troll.

I can't remember them offhand, but his personal stories are the things you need a drink for.

He had other names right? Roberto and his gf. Don't they post on that Neogaf facebook group that other banned members go to?

 

[Monocle]

Can someone explain to me the blamespace appeal?

He was mostly a joke character. Whether or not you enjoyed his indolent style is a matter of taste. When serious, he was actually a pretty intelligent poster.

Personally, I think he improved GAF while he was around.

Oh snap, really?

This is a thing?

 

[Satch]

Yeah, but why not make a bet involving something that actually gets some use?

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

 

[nib95]

Wait what, Manos is finally perma'd? Can't say I'm surprised. I wonder which post(s) it was that finally did it.

Anyway, a few people have said DrinkyCrow, but it was my understanding that he doesn't actually get banned and just has a banned tag. Based on posts I've seen him make in the past, I think he's got some special thing going where he never gets banned lol.

I wish he would of just dropped the schtick and kept it for the joke threads. He was definitely an intelligent poster and I actually really enjoyed his thought behind the good posts.

 

[Monocle]

Yeah, I just got done catching up on the creeper thread.

Wow.

Yeah, what a trainwreck, lol. A bunch of those posters should have felt Bish's shadow long before the sticky happened. So much victim blaming.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I've been told I've been banned 8 times I think. Usually for stupid things. But last time was the last time!

Spoiler

Is what I always say...

We resorted to genital bets in the Surface thread. If the Surface launches under $369 I have to put my penis in my George Foreman grill for a few seconds.

Go on...

Eggman and Copernicus.

What's wrong with them

Seriously. Coppy please.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

I've been banned 4-5 times. Usually around late winter early spring

 

[Oblivion]

Wasn't DCharlie permabanned at some point?

 

[Tesseract]

rip merrymakers and contrarians alike, your brainstuffs were ahead of space and time. i'll perform doomed cartwheels in your names.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

This is a thing?

Yeah, someone posted it in a thread and all these banned guys were posting during E3 and stuff. This one rabid Nintendo guy stuck out to me, but Roberto was there too.

 

[big_z]

pretty obvious that otrebor is some perma'd user who came back to troll.

he was awesome and needs to be unbanned. i think he got perma'd in the funny pics thread.


i've been banned twice for a month. i always thought that was the standard ban length but others claim to have been banned for mere days or a week for worse offensives. i felt abused considering one gaffer posted pictures of himself pushing a turd out from the floor view and got nothing. i comment on sonic and take a month vacation. i guess i hit a personal nerve...

 

[NathanMcMahon]

wait, what did Manos do now?

 

[Angry Fork]

I hope Manos was permanent. I don't care about the gun stuff but his nonchalant support of police brutality and civilians killed in drone strikes is insufferable. Sometimes they're trolls but other times you could tell he's dead serious and it's disgusting that such people exist in real life. He's like yahoo commenters but uses underhanded thinly veiled language to avoid getting banned.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Wasn't DCharlie permabanned at some point?

He's back, unfortunately.

 

[HiiiLife]

Bring back Blamespace

 

[Buddha Beam]

Someone's going to have to beat him at some point, I think he's perma'd now

I think if someone is perma banned their avatar goes away. I don't think manos is perma'd

But that's banning for views as opposed to.behavior.

 

[Mudkips]

Yeah, but why not make a bet involving something that actually gets some use?

Because I don't want to get penis bits on my actual BBQ. The George Foreman has been sitting for 6+ years.

I think if someone is perma banned their avatar goes away.

Myth. It's an unrelated bug.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Now can someone explain the legend of Drinkycrow and why he is so beloved? I seemed to have missed this era of GAF. And Shanadeus? I see that name thrown around a lot in GAF lore, who was this person and why.

 

[Kak.efes]

I got banned once by this forums worst moderator. The newly minted plebeian Amirox.

 

[Razek]

This is a myth. It's brought up like every day in the "Is GAF too strict?" thread.

I didn't know Manos is now permabanned.
What is the average GAF life expectancy of conservatives?

 

[Bowflex]

I've been banned like 10 or 12 times....is that a lot?

 

[metalslimer]

Kosmo is still around.

 

[Razek]

I said it in the other thread, but I thought manos was an alright guy. He certainly had some strange ideals, but he was fun to talk with in the goofier threads.

Oh boo hoo. Someone disagrees with your opinion.

Guess what, if you want a circlejerk of the same opinion then you should be on reddit

 

[Roland Deschain]

Did Manos finally get banned in that thread were he kept saying over and over how others were lying and only he had the real facts?

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Yeah, someone posted it in a thread and all these banned guys were posting during E3 and stuff. This one rabid Nintendo guy stuck out to me, but Roberto was there too.

That's...

Interesting. I guess quitting here cold turkey is hard for some.

On topic. Most bans? blamespace? Seems like the dude is banned every other time I'm on. Regardless of his bans, he's a good poster. Maybe Eggman... I just recognize him due to his Louis avatar and I tend to read his lines as Louis, so I'll usually chuckle at whatever shenanigans he's up to. I'll miss me some Dennis, though. He's entertained me many a night during pissing matches.

 

[GavinGT]

He got banned so that he would finally get off his ass and take his family to the park like he promised them.

"Oh, now you're being intolerant Tom."

Gaf bans people for victim blaming (which I 100% agree with), I don't think it should be a stretch to ban for cheering police brutality. I didn't know opposing evil opinions was considered circle jerk bullshit now.

"DON'T LIKE PRO-PEDOPHILE POSTS!? BOO HOO U MAD!?!?!?"

 

[Terrell]

I got banned once by this forums worst moderator. The newly minted plebeian Amirox.

I think half of the veterans on Gaming side have been banned by him, I don't even think you can count them anymore. They were more like disagreements gone awry by making the mistake of disagreeing with him specifically.

 

[Powdered Toastman]

The red/green reputation indicators should return

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The red/green reputation indicators should return

That'd be pretty cool.

 

[Dragoon X Omega]

Is blamespace perma banned? That would be terrible.
He's half the reason I come to GAF. Aguirre is a poor, poor substitute.

Amirox is a much better poster now that his name isn't red.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Is there a limit to temporary bans before it is a perma-ban?

Amirox is a much better poster now that his name isn't red.

Don't even notice Amirox anymore....just the way I like it.

 

[Callo Merlose]

I used to get banned all the time

I probably only remember you getting banned once. What I remember more was when you first got that tag, most people was assume you were actually banned and would say "good riddance" or shit along those lines.

 

[zon]

Now can someone explain the legend of Drinkycrow and why he is so beloved? I seemed to have missed this era of GAF. And Shanadeus? I see that name thrown around a lot in GAF lore, who was this person and why.

Drinky is/was a longtime member and former mod who loved trolling Nintendo fans years ago. He also recieved the tag "Banned" (without actually being banned) so he became a way to spot newcomers even if they happened to have gotten Member status already, as all the newbies would quoute him and go "lol banned?!".

Shanadeus? People here love to make things bigger than what they really are. Shanadeus became obsessed with being politically correct and started to make weird posts in some threads (e.g. Black Culture thread) and after a while he got banned as he would only disrupt threads instead of contributing to them.


This is probably not completely accurate, keep that in mind.

 

[squidyj]

i am legitimately terrified of posting regularly on the gaming side because i don't know what's temp bannable over there (outside of ioi-style bullshit)



:lol

I don't know, I get somewhat caustic gaming side and I haven't been banned.... yet.

I said it in the other thread, but I thought manos was an alright guy. He certainly had some strange ideals, but he was fun to talk with in the goofier threads.

I think Manos was okayish as long as he wasn't talking about gun control... but that wasn't often.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Shan got banned for trying to protest GAF using GoDaddy during the SOPA thing and Bish banned him/her for taking his/her sweet ass time leaving.

Shan got banned in an attempt to become a martyr. I kinda miss characters like her and riskychris sometimes.
