I should know! He banned me, for speaking to him.

Kiwi. I'd reccomend not talking right now.

The Cajun duo will smite you.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

You can search for banned members and look at the post that got them banned for examples of what not to do. Lately the mods have been putting a link to the specfic post under their picture on their profile page.

Insulting a person's race or religion, and posting naked picture of Leela are surefire sexy ways to get banned.

 

not always so (though I don't recomend taking the chance)  I had a member of this community curse me and damn me, and all in the name of God.  I reported it and the mods to my knowege did nothing. 

I think it largely depends on their mood.  Do something stupid online the night that some mod gets dumped by his bimbo girlfriend, and then watch out (bans for everybody!)

 

Just as a point of reference you generally do get a single warning (ever, not per particular post or thread) before we start moving to bans.  Sometimes we warn in thread and through messages, sometimes we just warn through messages. 

Both go on their little permanent file and if they do it again they will be banned, but that's why you sometimes don't see things happen.

Tease.

Is excessive fanboyism a reason to ban someone on this site?

saying something bad about the wii.

even if you can prove it with facts (scores).

Posting factual information will not get you banned.  Using facts as a means to instigate most certainly will.

Presentation and tone are critical to providing negative information without the intent of angering other members.

If you stick to being positive for your system of choice no.  If you degrade other systems then yes.

Changing a games name to a better sounding one.
