Has there been any gaffers who came back from a permban?

Drinky Crow pulled off the feat of being able to post while Banned! I wonder if those circumstances will ever be repeated again...

I got permed for being a bjork alt during his hot dog ban and came back, does that count? It was by some mod that's not here anymore, no one liked him.

edit: Would admins and mods be interested in explaining the perm banning process? From what I have heard a long time ago, mods vote for perms suggestions, and Evillore approves them.

That is not accurate and has not been the entire time I've been here.

One time blackace IP banned me. Then another time he just permabanned me.

I have no idea if this is true but I don't have the capability to IP ban users and neither does any other moderator.

Has never been the case, yeah. For as long as I've been running things, mods and admins have acted independently while coordinating with each other informally, and I've vetoed or modified occasionally after the fact if necessary. Prior to my official taking over in '04, the same rules applied, essentially, except that I would act like I ran the place and hope for the best instead of actually running the place. ;b (see: temporarily demodding bish back then...)

Didn't this happen with Orayn (black hair El Dorado guy)?

blame space and his multiple resurrections are the best examples of this. He's grown more powerful than the mods ever could have imagined.
 
He's the ScarJo stalker?
With that creepy image collection?

Seems like a fun dude :D

I believe it was Natalie Portman, but my memory is a bit hazy.

Who was that one dude I vaguely remember who had a Jake Gyllenhaal avatar and would often post really explicitly regarding mostly anal sex? That dude... I wonder if he snuck back in.

Every time I am banned I always check in regularly expecting the ban to have been overturned - "surely EviLore must have discovered this injustice by now and lifted the ban :) "

It never happens..............

fistful was all about Natalie. And the poster you're asking about was Greatness Gone.

So, in theory, if I were to be banned tomorrow, and felt that my ban was unjustified, who would I contact? Is there even someone to contact?

I never even thought it was possible to be unbanned. I lurked here for years before registering, never wanting to take the dive because I can have very controversial opinions at times, and thought a ban was basically inevitable.

I always wonder if it's your last one. :( How many lives you got left?

There was also golfham/three note. I remember him from Lost and Rock Band threads. He outted himself, but was spared. I think he's permabanned again, though.

When you think about it, a good portion of banned posters are still among us, under different names. They're everywhere...

It's happened from time to time. Sometimes a perm will be reconsidered after a discussion among mods, or if new information comes to light. Sometimes someone is accidentally junior permed when they were actually just rejuniored to stop them making threads, and the ban will be changed to temp as soon as someone spots the error. Sometimes we'll let an alt account slide (usually grounds for an insta-perm) if someone has clearly made an effort to become a better poster.

This actually reminds me of that time waaay back in probably 05/06 where the forum got hacked and whoever did it (someone in Australia IIRC?) started banning pretty much everyone, I remember people flipping out for a little bit before they took it down and reversed everything.

I wish bans were more transparent for the rest of us... every time I see a ban I think "wow shit was it this comment that got them banned or something else entirely"; hard to learn what's what. Also it'd be cool to know if people were perm'ed or just temp'ed.

Also I miss Harry Potter I liked that guy

Haven't been banned yet, but I've probably been close once or twice. Not sure what I'd do if I were to be banned. Maybe be more productive at work?

Didn't the modmins ban Australia completely for a while because of that?

I'm pretty sure the junior permaban thing isn't absolute. I'm pretty sure of that because I think I got something like a 3 or 5 day ban when I was a junior.
 
I believe Frankman was permabanned during Cunt-Gate, but then Evilore came in and shat in PC-GAF's mouth, and Frankman was subsequently pardoned.
 
Permanent juniors are my favorite bans. There's nothing wrong with being a junior but those are my fav.

Edit:I mean being stuck as a junior not being banned permanently because you were a junior.
