I don't know, I haven't been keeping up with this thread. Today was my first time reading it, actually.
So if "most" people get banned for lacing their opinions with stupidity, then that means "some" are being banned for the opinion itself. And let's be honest here, "stupid" is a very vague term which can vary wildly depending on the particular mod's definition and belief system.
Ice.
We already know some people get banned for their opinions, because they're sexists/racists/transphobes/Nazis/what have you.
Some people instead get banned for being KIND of sexist/racist/etc., and also being a jerk.
Not necessarily. They could get banned for unrelated reasons.

Getting your gif endorsed by Sunhi must be like scoring a goal and watch Messi in the crowd cheering you.

How did AlphaNoid get banned? I looked through his recent posts and didn't see anything outside his normal shtick...
Also Now Tayne I can get into.

his normal shtick is probably why he got banned

Oof. But yeah I could see that.
Yep.
They should make him pass an exam before he's allowed back in. One question, multiple choice:
1. Does it make sense to take a $100k pay cut in order to stay out of a higher tax bracket?
a) Of course, my dad/uncle/brother totally did that!
b) No, that would be ridiculous and stupid.

Who got banned for saying X objectionable behavior should nonetheless be legal?
The Technomancer
card-carrying scientician
Wait, is it confirmed that Manos is permad? Aww
I'd totally pick A, as a poor person.
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
I don't even know anyone that makes 100k.
Technically you're talking to a couple of millionaires right now.
I don't even know anyone that makes 100k.
I doubt alphaNoid does either.
It was for the good of all. When you're a coward who essentially runs off as soon as he has his opinions questioned, and yet you still repeat the same old talking points in dozens of threads, it's time to go.

wonderful visually.
What is it that he keeps talking about?
They all get their due sooner or later. Sometimes it should've been "sooner", though.

At some point we'll need a huge collaboration between the different artists here.
You can just check the list that has been posted in this thread about the casualties.

Oh hi there, zon.

You missed rCIZZLE and ColonelColon. Makes it 50.
If I had gotten banned for a day like some of the others, would that make you feel better? If that's the consensus i'll gladly bite that bullet as an apology to the 50 or so lost souls.. Otherwise, I'd like to live. ;p
Bahaha so, so good. Almost had me in tears :lol
I don't see why Sentry should get banned. He posted some examples to show what he was talking about, he didn't condone or encourage the behaviour.
Hey there, SquiddyBiscuit.
Hey there, SquiddyBiscuit.
The only beef that I have with Gaf is an overdose of politically correct speech, but that has more to do with posters than mods, me thinks, since we have been able to have quite "politically incorrect" topics about sensible subjects such as gipsy's convivence or the whole Mohammad's cartoon riots.

Some of us just had a 24 hour ban too so those of us who did are already back.
He PM'd me asking if I could ban him for a week, so I did.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Saying ni@@er isn't illegal as well but it will get you banned here
GAF is about creating a safe environment to post in
A creeper thread is not that
Just like a bar or restaurant would kick you out for licking that imaginary vagina at it's customers
Calling trans people "faggots" like you do in the fighting game gaf IRC isn't illegal either, and most people would agree that it shouldn't be illegal, but it'll get you banned.

Saying nigger isn't illegal per se, but saying nigger directed at someone is (here in Brazil). It is covered by the penal code as qualified slander.
^ Same for the above and wow...
