I was never banned but members petitioned to have me banned when I was suffering from a psychotic depression & kept posting about things. They thought I was refusing to take their advice when I was really just posting to analyze things & sort things out & their advice just wouldn't work for me. I eventually left cuz they started trolling my posts.

I've never been banned on a message board specifically..maybe because I am a natural writer and don't really care what people think. I get fired up with rude people in a non emotional way if that makes sense.
But I have been disciplined from quite a few places.
I had a few answers of mine removed on Yahoo Answers. I was answering a few questions on how to make money on the internet and I made the disclaimer that it would not be something you can live on (some of them were even asking about extra money). Also wrote about how I would help them if I had any problems. These days I would not recommend those sites because of the way I feel about them now but I was just trying to maximize my profits while helping someone else at the same time. When I had made a rant about it anonymously, that was the first time someone had mentioned about autism. Of course at the time when they said "Aspie" I did not think anything of it.
I was also banned from a GPT site's chat. That actually upset me since I don't do well with exclusion. I did not know where else to go for help and I asked so many people on other places. It all started because I was saying about how it was harder for me to accept when other offers weren't crediting because I don't have a job. I guess I can sorta understand it so the part that really bugged me was when the one member was about to make some suggestions and the mod told them to stop before they even got to. I thought maybe it was just because of the no constant complaint rule but from the way the conversation went it was pretty clear I was just banned because I was supposed to hide my depression. Also I come to find that there were other people that got banned even more unfairly than me.
Years ago, my UN was banned from a certain chat room because a guy got irritated about me talking about a musician I was obsessed with at the time. I have to admit I was pretty ridiculous then but the funny part about it was when I tried to change the subject and asked what he wanted to talk about that's when the guy asked for me to be banned.
I have also had threads on a message board locked a few times for being too off topic. The first time it was my own thread but both times other people basically helped me to go off topic..although I do know that sometimes I go on a tangent but I don't just say things out of the blue. It's difficult when you start out trying to make a legitimate post and they make a reply where you have to explain yourself.
There was another message board where I got warned because I used to not capitalize in my posts. It made me mad because then I had to end up editing my previous posts to capitalized as it threw me off aesthetically to make me change my posting style all of a sudden.
Even though I don't generally care what people think it sure can get old/annoying to talk to NT's at times esp if you need help/are going through a real depression low because there are enough of them that downplay you.
