- I was just gnorced for 48 hours.
- Only one of you are the person who did it (or dark, but I doubt it).
And maybe a third. I did block a lot of people from posting on my guestbook (which is already locked) and PMs (which I never use).
Now, here's darkSpyro's rules:
Quote:
These are the forum rules.
Don't swear or use offensive language.
Minor infractions of this rule will result in the words being censored or the post being deleted. However larger/often occurrences of breaking this rule will result in either a temporary or permanent ban from the website. Please completely obscure swear words if you feel you absolutely must use them. That means if, for example, "hello" was a swear word then "h*llo" or "h****" are not sufficient.
Don't spam.
Pointless messages aren't useful, these will be deleted. There is a board specifically for spam but it does still fall under all the other rules, though I am slightly more lenient there. Advertising is counted as spam and is not allowed even on Stuff and Nonsense.
Only be one person
The use of multiple guest names and/or registered accounts to pretend to be more than one person is pointless and will likely confuse any other users of the forum. It is also generally frowned upon to have more than one registered account anyway.
Don't post links to illegal/pornographic material.
It's just in no way approriate for a website based around a game such as Spyro the Dragon. Anyone who does so will be banned immediately. Asking for ROMs will get you a swift ban as well though discussion is allowed as long as you aren't boasting about the fact or you're providing a method for others to get them no matter how cryptic.
Don't troll/flame other users.
Provoking other people intentionally or insulting them is not a good practice and such posts will be deleted.
Responding to these posts is ill-advised especially if they worked on you, instead just report the post.
Don't bump topics.
Posting simply with the intention of bringing a topic to the top of the board without adding anything of significance is disruptive and will result in the deletion of your post. While topics do automatically close after a specific amount of time (duration varies for each board) on faster moving boards it may mean that conversations in open topics are already over and should just be left alone. However, in the game specific boards the conversations are more likely to be suitable to revival so you should not be too concerned with the age of a topic there. Obviously reviving old arguments is not a good idea no matter the location.
Be constructive with criticism
If you're going to post negatively in regards to any of the Spyro games (or other series) then give a reason as to why you dislike it. Merely stating the fact you don't like it is pointless and doesn't contribute anything.
Stay on topic
If you wish to discuss something unrelated to the topic then start a new one, in the correct forum of course. Posts that go off-topic will be deleted. Topics that are entirely off-topic will either be deleted or moved to the correct forum.
Don't post in a disruptive manner.
Writing entirely in capitals, alternating capitals, capitals at the start of every word, bold, italic or 1337 speek will be deleted or edited as it makes it difficult to read and is pointless to post in such a manner.
Don't advertise.
This includes the buying/selling/trading of Skylanders toys on the forums.
Use the edit button.
Posting several times in a row back to back in quick succession is pointless, disruptive and a waste of space. Use the Edit button below your posts in order to amend your previous post with what you would have posted, the topic is still marked as having new content.
Don't misuse the Report Post feature.
Mass reporting of posts that have nothing wrong with them just wastes my time and will potentially mean the removal of your ability to report.
Please use English
This is an English website and very few people here will be able to understand you if you use any other languages, this rule applies only to the general use of the forums, you can of course use other languages just not all of the time.
Abide by the above rules and you'll do fine here.
And here's the nice little PM I got shortly after being gnorc'd, detailing why, exactly, I was gnorc'd.

Now, if I understand correctly, this reason actually isn't against the rules. What did I do, to deserve this? I'm still not sure. I argued with a few people. They didn't even receive a few hour's ban. I was also flat-out insulted, which leads me to assume JCW555 is responsible for my banning. I don't want to point fingers, however, and hope to leave the situation open for explanation from ALL the moderators.
I have been a different person (logged in as gnarlytreesnex) and spammed/flamed (my outburst at The Lego Movie). Those gnorcs were warranted. I did nothing. Cynderfan brought up the subject of me banning him/her. I replied about it. I was attacked, attacked back. The Santa thread was intended to be a joke, not to be "high-and-mighty". Until I get to know from you MODS why exactly I was gnorc'd, I've pegged it up to power abuse by the Moderators.
I intend to inform dark52 (don't expect anything from that) and I also expect an answer. I made this public to "force" (make it more likely) an explanation from the banner. I did not break the rules more than others but was severly punished for pretty much nothing.
I didn't know it was in the rules that you can only block a certain amount of people. And I had reasons, too, they may be petty, but you cannot say that my reasons cannot be reasons while still retaining the definition of reasons.
And I cleared my block list.
