Infamous banned gaffers

All I can remember was jbaired and Amirox. Both were back in my lurking days.

And wait, blamespace is permabanned?? What the heck happened?
 
blamespace's posting style only worked in.certain threads. sometimes he would show up in a thread and his one liner I want to be noticed style worked. Other times it contributed nothing to the thread at best and derailed or negatively impacted the thread at worst.

I can't believe blame space was permed :(
I loved his deadpan one-liner posting style.
Assuming a mod did it, is there any way an admin can review the case and perhaps reverse the decision?

Yup.

I'm happy Amirox, Costanza, and fistful were gone. I would much rather have solid salient posters like Bootay, Liu Kant Baking a Pie, Stumpkapow, etc over gimmick accounts.

Still sad about blame space.

The dude seems to be very much a human being with flaws and good intentions and such but it was pretty much cyber bullying what he was doing in that thread.

I don't know. I think there's a good argument to be made that encouraging people to be completely honest with themselves is a pretty positive thing to do.

I wasn't a big Amir0x fan. His trolling in the Breaking Bad thread was unbearable a lot of the time. But I'm really disappointed that he got taken out for encouraging a poster to take a good, long look at the face staring back at him in the mirror.

Himoru, account suicide. I think he's still on my XBL friends list. I remember asking him about why he did that and he said he was tired of the way things were going and something about the somethingawful forums or one of them supposedly popular gaming forums. He said that other banned or departed gaffers go there and somewhere else. Can' remember what though. In hindsight, he was not really right. GAF is great for the good things. Terrible for the idiocy and politics when it comes to gaming. But that's what makes GAF, GAF.

Always liked Him up until his meltdown. I don't get why he had some jaded "GAF has changed mindset;" if you don't like the way GAF is at any given time, start adding users to your ignore list or just step the fuck back for a bit. Curb your usage, don't enter threads you know you're not interested in or will piss you off. You know, common sense. Pick up a hobby or something. Jesus.

GAF is what you make of it.
 
blamespace is generally cool, but he's been more annoying lately. People have gotten used to his antics, which has caused him to be kind of ignored in comparison to the past. And, I guess seeking attention, that seems to lead to blame spamming up threads with nonsense.
 
I'm going to guess that it was either the "Is GAF too strict?" or the "Obscure Rap-Age: So I finally discovered lil' B" thread that finished blame space.

If you think he was aggressive, you should see Dragona and spr0sk (mispelled?) in their prime. Both of them deserved the demotion. Amir0x is no different now than when he was a mod in his views. Guy backs up a lot of his criticisms and it's sometimes against the grain but we're not here to hold punches back.

No need to play dumb, Amir0x wasn't demoted for being too aggressive and we all know it.

He's right that Breaking Bad GAF is insane (seriously Walt is a terrible person after the fifth episode of the series, let alone the events afterward) but instead of avoiding that rubbish thread, he decided to have it out with them. That doesn't help anybody

He's very concise and actually backs up his opinions. I've spoken to him on several occasions. He's a good blue collar American. You can bank on that. He will be back soon so don't worry about that son of a mother.

I did I just stayed out of threads she posted in... lol sprOsk wasn't that bad..
 
I always wanted a thread of glory to see some of these memorable GAF bans, but I was not around for them.

At least give me the story for their ban (if that's allowed), the names mean nothing to me :(

Yeah. I was never a big fan of him for some of these reasons. Surprised he got permabanned for it though.
 
Weird how some people haven't figured out that Crushed still posts. I think even the mods know. He's posted in this very thread, even! It definitely seems like there are some occasions where banned posters come back, and the whole administration knows about it but they let it slide if they're behaving.

You're saying there are alts that are known and tolerated by GAF moderators?

I guess I can say I don't keep up with GAF like I used to. Honestly, if he's posted here and he's "behaving," that's cool with me.
 
I remember in the Dark Knight Rises OT we lost our brother so the fire could rise. But as quickly as he left, he risen from darkness and his ban was removed within a few hours.

Yeah what, how would a person ever be expected to "know" that. I barely even remember crushed posts as it is, only the outrage.

I either missed the thread in which he outed himself or it happened in some out of forum GAF clique like a guild, clan, irc, or one of the terrible "hey we got banned, GAF sucks" offshoot forums. None of which I partake in.

The silly pictures seemed to have stopped, which is the connection my head made with him, so I haven't noticed otherwise.
 
I keep seeing Amir0x is gay, likes butt sex, and like having a choo choo stuck up his poo poo on YouTube. I can't help but laugh and feel bad.
