Something Awful has a list of banned users

[Renew Deal]

This is hysterical, especially seeing it with a DU perspective. Imagine what our would look like.

[Sannum]

1. Can we have a version of this???

Pretty please?

[Renew Deal]

4. Sannum banned for 12 hours for

making fart noises in the lounge. :hurts:

[In_The_Wind]

2. OMG

I love some of the explanations for probation.

[Renew Deal]

3. Some of us would be banned 10 times over.

For some of that shit.

[LoZoccolo]

5. The rule about replying without reading the post is useful.

It would come in handy here.

10. lol

:applause:

[LostinVA]

6. This is hysterical!

[LynneSin]

7. Damn, and I was going to join there to ask for this......

Asking for a video of a man getting fucked by a horse. User loses posting privileges for 1 week.

:eyes:

[Radio_Guy]

8. Dramamongering?

No one on DU would ever do that, would they??

:yoiks:

[El Fuego]

9. I can only imagine what our list would be like.

It's "...a strong community full of exciting and moderately psychotic people who may or may not stab you if you meet them in real life"?

Sounds interesting.

11. SAis a great website.

It's the DU Lounge on speed.

[Redstone]

12. Arrogant mofo who runs that thing, isn't he?

And you have to PAY to sign up for that kind of abuse? Not me.

13. SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT CHUCK NORRIS.

Can't imagine what THAT one was about...

[Renew Deal]

14. Didn't some Chuck Norris madness happen here?

I vaguely remember that.

[NMMNG]

15. While some of the reasons for banning/suspension are reasonable

others are incredibly arbitrary. "Low content post" (a person can't say "I agree with you"?), "No content post" (posting "LOL" to indicate you found a post funny is simply not allowed apparently).

That doesn't seem like a very fun message board :-(

[BreweryYardRat]

25. Depends on the mods who are hanging out.

Mayor Wilkins is generally a stand-up guy, but Ozma and Eris_is_Goddess are huge douches.

It can be pretty awesome at times, though. Check the comedy goldmine.

[JohnKleeb]

16. My favorite was the guy who got banned

for wanting a video og a guy getting fucked by a horse. God thats sick but I am laughing aloud.

[Mutley]

17. I would not pay for a site that puts people on "probation" for this...

Can't post for 12 hours!

"Well all have that friend, the one that is a genetic fuck-up and does some pretty freaky shit.

My best friend, also a goon (TheKeeker), make quite alot of friends with his one special talent. He can suck in air through his ass and fart at will, very loud and disgusting. I love it...Maybe I'll grab a video of him doing it.

All in all, pretty fucked up person.

So, how genetically fucked up are you/your friends?"

*puts on white glove*
*slaps Dradien*

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. That's hilarious! DU needs to do that! nt

[Awsi Dooger]

19. More than 17,000 on the banned list!

That's what it says on the bottom. "Displaying jerks 1-50 of 17,157."

Hysterical. Looks almost like a daily quota to me, with some of the lame rationale and short term suspensions.

Important ratio knowledge, that I lacked:

* Posting access to a video of a man being fucked by a horse = 1 month ban.
* Requesting a video of a man being fucked by a horse = 1 week ban.

20. I'm reading the comments in this thread

And I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt BAD.

It's "...a strong community full of exciting and moderately psychotic people who may or may not stab you if you meet them in real life"? <- One of the greatest lines I have ever read on DU. God, I need a towel to wipe off the laugh tears.

[philosophie_en_rose]

21. User Banned for "Mod Sass."

:rofl:

[rug]

22. !

"Lack of capitalization, humor, relevance, or worth. User loses posting privileges for 1 day."

:yoiks:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

23. I like the little graphic. What exactly IS SA forums anyway? My wife is

active on it, and a lot of the members are in her World of Warcraft guild, but it seems pretty random. I guess maybe that's the point?

[BreweryYardRat]

24. It's hard to describe...

FYAD is random crap, GBS (my preferred hangout) is a lot like a combo between the DU Lounge and LBN with insane tendencies, and there are various topical subforums.

For examples, check out bigpeeler and Fang's threads in the Comedy Goldmine (around pages 12-15) and be prepared to hold your sides. Same goes for TheSwami's stuff and ZerglingMinor's "I'm about to get my ass 'kicked'" thread, but those more recent.

However, I will admit that SA has more than it's share of douchebags, including moderators. Bigpeeler got banned for life just for posting silly stuff that wouldn't be out of place in the DU Lounge.
