Why they get banned?

I'm wandering why are so many users are getting banned from here?

 

For breaking the rules...why else?

 

That's the only reason I can think of also...

 

they try to bribe the mods but unfortunately they dont realize they are flirtatiously bribing the mod of same gender .. and BAM! banned

 

But don't worry... they nearly all get unbanned at some time.
In fact there's a particularly undesirable high profile member due to be unbanned very shortly.

 

Yep, basically breaking the rules, or in some cases, asked to be banned.

 

I've been here for a while, and I am someway puzzled by how many bans there are nowadays compared to when I joined.

Is it that mods have become strict or people need to be banned?

I think both, and the forum is much much bigger...

 

Infractions are what gets you banned. Most infractions expire in three months.

I got 2 infractions and my post count set at zero for posting a hello and some type of welcome to the forum comment in the introduction section. I stay away from that section even though its my favorite section. I liked looking at all the newbie websites and visiting them .....but I don't want to get banned so I stay away.

 

multiple accounts will result in all of them being banned.

 

They did something bad and got the result in return.

 

some got banned because they dont read and know the rules. some know the rules and break and dont obey it.

 

Yeh i heard you get banned now for looking at the posts in the introduction section :\

 

I heard that too TIC

 

Posting only to increase their post count..

 

Because, they were naughty.

 

because they are naughty

 

looking at the posts?
do you mean if mods see people under "currently active" in ther,e they'll issue infractions?

or you mean to post in there?

 

For acumulating infractions i know i've been baned like 3 times

 

breaking the rules and/or scamming people.
