why was Loner_Guy banned? i dont see what he did wrong...

[Kiros]

He had the same IP address as Yellow_Artichoke (I think that was his name), so not only did he register with two accounts, he was trolling on the forums.

trolling? what's that?

[Bobby]

In Internet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet) terminology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminology), a troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum), and posts inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy and antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion.


Wikipedia. That guy was bad news.

Hmm, I thought we were not allowed to ask the Administrators why members were banned, they have their reasons. :what: I read that somewhere on the site more than twice.

oh, whoops, if thats true please dont ban me or freeze me!

:roll: Now you're over-reacting. It already happened, and Kiros72 already replied. So it's gone now.

Here's something to make you feel better: I'll get banned before you.

Forth paragraph in the Behavior section of our rules (found in the FAQ):

Trolling on the forums is not tolerated. We define trolling as: any threads or posts that are deliberately off-topic and only serve to annoy other members or seek to start a fight, complaining about how bad a member is, or excessive posts about how a member needs to be banned or how a thread needs to be locked. Depending on the amount and severity of trolling, any participants my be warned or banned.
Fortunately, unless a member frequently asks why or tells how they will not even be warned - unless the situation calls for it. :)
