I've  been checking out the site more and more and I've seen more and more people banned! How do you get banned?

being rude usually, implicitely or explicitely ...

If you do not follow this link: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/rules.php

Just say you want to beat someone (from this forum) => Banned.

Tell me to f-off and you'll see.

The Mods here are pretty quick to ban anyone ripping into another user inappropriately. IE: You can call me an idiot, but a stupid F---ing ret---ded idiot will likely get you banned.

Also people who are merely trolling too, putting insulting remarks and never adding anything to a thread.

 Even calling another forum user an idiot is generally frowned upon.

Explaining why somebody is an idiot is more acceptable.

Actually, I do kinda object to how "banned" is getting used. To me, banned implies permanence. Really, when people get banned here, it's more of a timeout or a temporary suspension. I think I've only seen maybe 1 or 2 people actually get permabanned while I've been posting here.

Personally I approve, some people just get carried away, and while their arguments may be stupid, they do at least keep the forum from stagnating.

The 3 big ones:

1. Trolling

2. Insulting other members

3. Posting inappropriate material

if you follow the rules and actually back up claims of idiocy you should be good. Anti-country is also majorly frowned upon so if you hate country X due to some law state it with your opinions and facts don't just blurt out "Country X is total ****, people from there are morons etc etc."
