I am really bummed out that I continue to get banned from online forums.
I am not some racist troll out to flame people.
No, I got banned from this forum LetsGoPens repeatedly for having AS.

I sent a lot of posts to people on demographics; as I have a keen passion for research of sports teams fanbases.
Many people flamed and insulted me; I ignored it, but the reputation followed me.
People kept complaining and I was banned.
To add insult; they put my name in the Insider's Guide and called me a sociopath.

The admin agreed to let me re-join until a few days ago when I was booted because clicky people whined to him that I am an outcast.
Has this happened to many of you; getting banned for being your weird, odd self NOT being a troll?

How do you cope?
LOL any of you want to help me get back there? I love talking Pens hockey; need a new account and IP.
I just find it amazing how even adults are just as cruel as the 6th grade and HS treehouse clicks.

(Thread moved from Autism discussion to Random)

Very few members get banned from here. Only those who break the site rules.

I've never been banned from a forum. But I did get banned from Minecraft last week for leaving John McClane's signature on someones house after vandalizing/griefing it.

Not on line, but in real life. I grumble about it, but that's all I do. I wouldn't do anything that would get me in trouble. Basically, I want to go other places and I make up the idea in my mind that everything will be perfect once I go there.

It seems fair to point this out to anyone reading this thread:

I assume that this means we can only discuss the "who" and the "why" of a banning if the person was banned from another website.

I've been banned for trolling. I found some forums that tolerate it, though, and actually find my troll posts amusing so it's been years.

I don't think so.

Maybe you could create your own Pen's forum and fansite.
I imagine there is one than one Pen's site. Maybe you should
try another or start a Pen's or hockey thread here. :)

Nope. Had a thread killed once for a very idiotic reason. Never went back.

Forget the forum, but it was tech help forum. They had a policy of not asking for help with homework, which is normally directed at preventing public school kids from using the forum to cheat. I needed some info for a college project, but it wasn't answers to questions asked by the instructor or anything like that. It was, however, of a nature that I could not ask without explaining what it was for. The question was about a technicality on a web page, for a project unrelated to web design.

Idiots just nuked it and never even contacted me. Would not answer any PM's about it either.

Nazis. :roll:

I was never banned from anything but members did petition to have me banned from one a few years ago. The community had changed a lot sense I had joined a few years before because the webmaster recuited a panel to approve new memberships. Newbs were very clickish & I was going trough a psychotic depression at the time & was posting about it a lot so putting me down became the kewl thing to do. A couple years before the members had described me as being friendly, helpful & very caring but when I had issues I suddenly got called troll, narcissistic, negative, emo, ect. I eventually left because I got tired of being where I wasn't wanted. I felt better after I was gone a bit

because I made threads and PMed people who went to game questions about fan demographics.
People thought I was weird, annoying, they picked on me and urged the admin to throw me off the island.
Sux.

I don't go on too many online forums.
I do seem to be hated on the community "good reads" for being cynical,paranoid and pessimistic.

Sometimes I am surprised that I have not been baned form this forum.

Does that count? :D
