I’m sure most of us encountered this website, so we should all have an opinion of it; it has generated a few memes and has very active boards, in addition to being one of the sites you can list as liking on your profile here at forumwarz.

However, many, including me, find the front page extremely very special and the humor patehtic. Howevwer, what interests me more is the way that Lowtax does business regarding his forums; it’s no secret that lowtax and his sycophantic group of moderators will ban people for the slightest reasons simply as a means to generate revenues by people rebuying forum accounts.

Some of the things people get banned for:

* Posting while drunk, even if the post is reasonable and well written.

* Saying you hate the front page articles on another forum. This has netted my brother a perma-ban from the site (I was smart enough not to waste my money)

* Making tongue-in-cheek racist comments (*cough ozma cough*)

* Not being a communist on DnD, however, nowadays I don’t think this is a problem because McCaine the gay bondage homo communist was demodded

* Disagreeing with the moderators.

I’m sure I’m missing many more petty things people have gotten banned for, but my question is: what is your opinion of something awful, and how do you view the way they moderate their forums? People with first hand experiences with very special bans or former Sbum members are encouraged to respond.

(I’m drunk right now and I would’ve gotten banned for this post for 3 different reasons had this been posted on SA, so that’s a funny anecdote.)
