Grrouchie asked why I was banned from 2p2 once upon a time.
It's been a while, so I'm not exactly sure, but I'm pretty sure that this is the story:
I was banned because some guy started a thread where he was basically asking for cash (without really asking for cash). Trying to inspire pity in a really ham-handed way, he said that he was on the verge of sticking his head in the oven.
I made a comment like: "Make sure it's a gas oven. Otherwise you'll just end up burning your ears."
Then I clicked "Send" with pride.
Giving suicide advice = Lifetime ban

Sounds like good advice to me.
ReplyDeleteWith all the crap that gets spewed on 2+2 -- you got banned for that? Geeeeeez ...
ReplyDeletebtw -- the guy begging money wasn't identified by the letters TBC, was he? lol
Yeah, I was shocked to be banned.
ReplyDeleteI guess one of the mods took the guy seriously.
Could've been TBC. Don't remember lol.
heh, nice.
ReplyDeleteI do remember when they were cracking down hard at the time on stuff like that.
Even giving temp bans to people using the "Die in a grease fire" quote.
Somewhere around then is when I decided the site wasn't worth even visiting any longer.
