What have you been banned from and what did you allegedly do?

I got banned from a youth club once for poor attendance. But I don't think the leader liked me either.

I got banned from city data 3 times.I also got banned by reddit once for asking about moving to New Mexico.

Banned from my favourite forum for a litany of 'crimes' including 'hateful speech', 'trolling' and 'being a forum nuisance'. Utter f*****g BS. Now I'm condemned to wander the corners of the interweb for another home.

I got banned from eye docs as a kid. I was born with a very rare low vision disorder that includes some color blindness & my eye docs thought I was lying about my glasses not helping enough because I didn't like wearing glasses. I don't like wearing them because they make my close vision worse & my distance vision is still bad with them. My autism issues were probably a factor as well. My eye docs told my parents I was being a difficult patient & not to bring me back.

I’ve been banned from other forums but I never knew why.

We've had to take what's ours, and be damned...

I was banned from this forum by a moderator who was trigger happy. I wasn't the only person banned. It was about a year before another moderator asked Alex if I could be unbanned and he said yes.

I was banned from a forum for posting 'n-word music'.

Ironically they never said anything about the lyrical themes within the death metal I posted regularly.
Another layer of irony, most of the hip-hop I posted was by white guys who didn't use the n-bomb in their lyrics.

Mostly people online I thought were friends (chiefly furries) for no apparent reason.

I don't generally get banned, but mostly because I tend to just voluntarily leave. And partially because my style of no Fs given is often times endearing for some reason.

Usually though, if there's any question about getting banned, I just leave because it's not worth my time and energy to worry about such nonsense. I remember being on a site where some genius thought that allowing people to attach notes to other people's profiles as part of user moderation was a good idea. But, you could attach like anything you wanted, so putting notes that were themselves trolling was apparently permissible. I was there like a week and a half and it went from a pretty decent place to post, to being one of the most troll infested fora I've ever been involved with and completely unusable for the primary purpose it was started for.

Some users on a forum I used(maybe around 17 years ago) kinda petitioned to have me banned because they thought I was trolling. It was kinda a support group type site but not aimed at any specific type of group or problems & also had lots of various other types of chit-chat & things as well. I was extremely depressed at the time & kept posting about that as well as posting about hating being single. Some users got frustrated with me & started making posts about how I needed to be banned. The admin was very behind the scenes & didn't get involved with that debate as for as I could tell. I realized I was overstaying my welcome & being there was stressing me out more so I decided to leave.

I did notice that different users had very seemingly contradictory opinions of me & one newish member even mentioned how it sounded like two completely different people were being described. Looking back on my life it's common for different people to have opposite opinions of me. I would think that I have multiple personality disorder except those conflicting opinions are from people who've known me in the same place at the same time. It's like two different people can see the same me & come to opposite conclusions about my behavior. I think the issue is that others try to categorize me consciously or subconsciously & I do not conform to any stereotype or group.
