So today I got banned from 4chan... (405, permasaged)

1 Name: lolocaust!rsvcwx6Axc 2004-12-05 12:28 ID:Heaven [Del]

... for posting an "I love Shiori" (a 2chan meme) pic in a thread with some retarded fanart that the poster got banned for. Neither thread nor original picture got deleted, though, to serve as an example, I guess. Bah.

I think it's been my 4th or 5th time being banned from 4chan now. One time was for flooding /b/ with various ways of spelling "Rei", another time for posting a picture of a dude sucking his own dick which apparently was ruled to look underage or something. Yet another time was for posting some loli or shota pic in /b/ soon after /l/ got axed to please YowCow (lol).

Anyhow, did you ever get banned from 4chan? And what for?

TELL US YOUR STORY!

this thread is retarded, if you 4chan fags wanna complain a bunch go post on world4ch or irc or whatever, we seriously don't care.

Seriously, why should you get banned from 4chan for putting your name as Joe?

206 Name: ⊂二二二（ ＾ω＾）二二二⊃ : 1993-09-4813 22:40

/b/ is anonymous and should stay that way

4chan is more than just /b/

I assume he was talking about one of the other forums, which are not forced anonymous

They are varioations on /b/.. The more popular, the more likely that it posseses a bunch of ex/b/ or /b/ tards fooling around.

>>211
Go to the dos prompt and type:

> ipconfig /release

This will clear the IP tags identifying you to the 4chan DNS.

If this doesn't work (it doesn't always if your MAC is defabricated), then you will need to open the network connections folder, and clear the objects you find there. You may need to disconnect before you do this.

You won't get V& if you didn't upload or download the material.

...probably...i assume...

243 Name: （　・∀・）　 : 1993-09-5313 20:18

Only b& once for the time I posted "Prove me wrong" in /r9k/. I think I mentioned it before.

I think a lot of people are getting banned for spam because of a malicious 4chan plugin for Firefox. Apparently while you're browsing threads, it's slipping in ads for some kind of neko forest.

245 Name: angry friend : 1993-09-5340 16:26

i just got b& cause my friend used MY IP as a fucking Proxy on HIS computer while posting CP in /b/. i only post in /a/ /h/ & /v/ its fucking bullshit and im tellin ya, its funny as shit that it took the admins 4 hours to completely ban my IP from every single thread for him posting an obviously FAKE picture.....im appealing this and i honestly hope the admins see it my way, this isnt drama this is fucking un-fair! ill QQ moar and bitch and moan and whine all i want cause the admins should know better then to ban random IP's.

The mods will never see it your way. I was banned for posting bestiality(which they apparently couldn't spell properly for the life of them) and not two days later when I used a proxy to lurk was there a stickied thread of /b/east pr0nz.

They banned me, I tried to appeal, they banned me for a FUCKING MONTH

Anyways, >>1, please listen to me. That it's really related to this thread.
I went to 4chan a while ago; you know, 4chan?
Well anyways there was an insane number of people there, and I couldn't get in.
Then, I looked at the banner hanging from the ceiling, and it had "FOUR MORE YEARS" written on it.
Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots.
You, don't come to 4chan just because it's The shithole of the internet, fool.
It's only cp, S-E-E P-E-E for crying out loud.
There're even entire families here. Family of 4, all out for some 4chan, huh? How fucking nice.
"Alright, daddy's gonna order the extra-large." God I can't bear to watch.
You people, I'll give you CP if you GTFO.
4chan should be a bloody place.
That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the U-shaped table can start a fight at any time,
the stab-or-be-stabbed mentality, that's what's great about this place.
Women and children should screw off and stay home.
Anyways, I was about to start posting, and then some bastard posted "MOAR SAUCE."
Who in the doesn't know the sauce nowadays, you moron?
I want to ask him, "Why the fuck dont you know what the SOURCE is?"
I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour.
Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "Source please?"?
Coming from a 4chan veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, Grinman.
That's right, Grinman. This is the vet's way of posting.
Grinman means more win than fail. But on the other hand the bandwith is a tad higher. This is the key.
And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable.
However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by the mods from next time on; it's a double-edged sword.
I can't recommend it to amateurs.
What this all really means, though, is that you, >>1, should just stick with DQN.

258 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-5590 01:18

Banned from 4chan a dozen times for ban evasion.
I have a really dynamic IP (refreshes like every half hour), so I didn't even know I was banned until the last time, lol.

259 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-5601 10:27

I was banned from /d/ once. I don't go to /d/ often at all, but one time I went there for some reason.

Then I saw a thread titled "Medical vagina examinations". I immediately searched google for "happy doctor", and then posted a picture of a smiling doctor.

I was banned from /g/ a few times. One time there was a meme, where people would post "I suggest that you get a Sager, games on medium laptop. It plays games on medium." or something to that effect, usually accompanied with a picture of Bob Saget. It got a bit out of hand, and so people who did it were banned for it.

Then later, there was the tidus meme. People were spamming /g/ with pictures of Tidus from Final Fantasty X.
I posted a couple of pictures of Tidus, and got banned for a week.

Just this month, I got banned from /g/ again, for starting a desktop thread.

I never got banned from 4chan. I never returned to 4chan after /b/-day. I hate the shithole that is 4chan. I hate the fact that we are talking about this blasted place on such sacred places like this one. Also, I hate memes. Fuck memes, they are the reason imageboards suck so hard the last few years.

People constantly trolling out of /b/, pouring out into other forums... and yet mods ban the users who "replied to thread so-and-so".

I got banned twice. Once I jokingly posted "Wallachia is the most moe Tsukihime character. Prove me wrong," on /jp/. I didn't know that "prove me wrong" results in a 3-day ban, and had to sit it out.

The second time (happened today)I got banned for supposedly posting cp. I've never posted cp and am disgusted by those that do. Naturally, my appeal got shot down and I have to wait a week.

275 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-5798 23:07

I was just banned for typing "You, sir, are and idiot" ... I honestly had no idea that it was a forced meme or w/e... I didn't think I was a 'newfag' untill someone on the /b/ board posted a pic saying it was a new wordfilter try it out, etc.

Not even knowing what a wordfilter is... I tried it... 2 seconds later... insta ban :(

Try to harass mods, doubt their actions, etc. Usually they flip the fuck out after this.

290 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-5813 06:21

Spam as much cancer as you can. Forcing a meme that the mods or moot really don't like will get it done faster.

Bonus points if you include solid instaban classics along with your forcing, such as moot#faggot and DSFARGEG.

291 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-5813 21:35

Post a macro photo of your penis. This will get you banned because moot doesn't like these photos after someone called him "faggot".

They thought I was underage. I said I was 18 when accused of being underaged so they banned me. My appeal was also denied.
Seriously,is 18 underage?

>>297 look up what you're interested in. 99chan has /move/ if you like to dance. I post on all boards on sovietrussia just about. I spend most of my day on varous boards on 420chan. I like Touhou so pooshlmer's pretty good. Zerochan has a good music board. I like this board too.
