I mean from the DarkBasic website?

I don't think anyone was.

Or am I wrong?

Cheers.

Thats up to a moderator to do. Actually, I think ShadowRobert and Masked Coder were banned, not 100% sure though, but it wouldnt surprise me.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

Only I can ban people and to date we've only banned a handful. 5 or 6. One of them was so severe we blocked his entire netblock off at the firewall so he can't even visit the sites any more. But that's rare.

Cheers,

Rich

my bad, should have said it clearer.

That double post thing doesn't happen often, the "Exact same text has already been posted" message usually appears for me. Quite a brilliant system.

Hey, my name has 5 letters - hope your not talking about me, I is a good boy!.

I only ever got in trouble once in a forum, that was RGT when it first started up - got a thick ear from Guy for telling a troll where to go .

Now Blitzcoder, I'm shocked and horrified that I did'nt get banned from there - I did quite a bit of hardcore flaming after the DBPro tech demos were released so long ago.

Personally, aside petty bickering, I don't think anynoe is doing anything to be banned yet. Just because you don't get along with someone of they get involed in/start flamewars is not enough to ban. I'm thinking more like hardcore noob style flaming, spamming, thread stalking, flooding, sending gay porn span to your e-mail (curse you, Shadow Robert), that kinda stuff.

Aye, hope i'm not been offensive here ***** (it's not intended if I am) but I feel every forum needs someone like *****, just liven things up now and then to produce productive (usually heated debates) is a good thing, IMO.
